Sample Proof
A PDF proof will be uploaded to our website for you for approval before printing. Once you have checked and approved your proof online your job will be sent to print and posted out to you. Please allow at least 14 days from approval of your proof to delivery. (A timing estimate will be sent to you upon approval). For custom colour and design work we will send out a hard copy proof prior to print on request. As per our Printing/Colour policy below, there may be a slight variance in colour to the proof and your final print run.
Proofreading
The PDF proof is sent to you to check the content. Please be aware that due to variations in monitors the colours and images may vary slightly on screen to that of the finished product. Client errors that are signed off through the proofing process are to be reprinted at the clients expense. It is the client's responsibility to check all copy is correct. Ensure that all text supplied is as final as possible, we allow for one set of text amendments at proof stage.
Guest Lists
If you have selected the personalisation option we will email you a spreadsheet to complete and return to us with your guest information completed. Please supply us with your guest names typed exactly as you would like them to be spelt and written. eg. Mr & Mrs Brown, Sam and Lisa Smith, Sam & Lisa. And for place cards one name per line or cell, eg Sam, Lisa etc etc.
It is important that you ensure all spelling, punctuation and spacing is correct on your guest list as our printer uses an automated system and your list will be printed exactly as supplied. Any errors supplied by clients on their lists will be reprinted at the cleints expense.
Alterations
Our standard pricing includes the placement of your wording/images into your chosen theme/layout, plus one set of text amendments at pdf proof stage. Additional amendments will be charged at an hourly rate.
Alterations to your order may be made until the final PDF proof is approved. Once approved, no alterations may be undertaken. Signig off your online proof will confirm the completion of your order.
Printing/Colour
As all stationery is printed digitally it is possible that subtle colour variations can occur between each piece. This is not a fault of the design but a natural effect of the printing process. There can also be a colour variation between stock types because of the way the ink sits on the coated stock (which is smoth) compared to the shimmer stock (which is textured). Therefore designs printed on shimmer can have a variation in colour and look compared to those printed on satin deluxe.
Stationery can not be refunded or returned because of normal printing effects. We take pride in the quality of our work and assure you that all of our stationery is printed to the highest professional standards.
Samples
We take great pride in the quality of our work. If you are unsure of the quality of our finished product we highly recommend the purchase of a sample pack prior to ordering. Sample packs are redeemable on your final order should you wish to proceed, you will be supplied a redemption code with your sample pack to enter at checkout. As above, it is possible for a variation in colour to occur between your sample pack products and your finished order. Samples printed on shimmer will also vary in colour to those printed on satin. As each order is printed individually we can not guarantee exact colour matches to samples or swatches supplied.
Writing on Stationery
Our stationery is not designed to be put through another printer to type the names of your guests. If this is the outcome you would like please choose the personalisation option on your order. If you are writing on the invitations it is advisable to test the pen you are planning to use first to avoid smudging and double printing. We recommend that you allow at least 5 -15 spare invitations in your order quantity to allow for calligrapher errors.
Envelopes
Envelopes are included with all invitations, save the date cards, and thank you cards. They are a white shimmery envelope.
In the instance that our suppliers are out of stock of White Shimmer, we will discuss another alternative with you.
We are unable to offer the service of printing on envelopes at this time.
