Of course! The text you see in the images are just examples. We encourage everyone to customize the text to suit their needs. Once we receive your final text, we'll drop it into the invite and send you a proof to check over for spelling errors.

Yes! Although we designed the pieces in standard sizes, we know some people have specific sizes in mind. We can adjust the sizing of any piece for a fee of $20 per piece. Please indicate size changes when you order. You can see our standard sizes on our Pricing page.

We take on a select amount of custom projects per year. Pricing depends upon the type and scope of the project but a good starting place for a custom wedding invitation set is about $425. Please Contact Us directly to discuss custom work.

Payment is due once you have chosen your invitation/card style, the number of pieces you'd like and any customization work. We will send you an invoice and once we have received your payment and wording, we begin the design work.

Unfortunately, once we begin design work, we are not able to offer refunds. If you contact us within 24 hours of ordering and we haven’t begun design work, we will cancel your project and issue a full refund. Send us an email with “REFUND” in the subject line.

It takes time to set type and make any color or font changes, so we only begin design work after we receive your payment.

If we happen to catch an error, we’ll point it out to you but we are not responsible for proofing your text, so please double and triple check your proofs to make sure everything is correct. We’re happy to make changes during your 2 free rounds of revisions, but any additional rounds are subject to a $25 fee. We are not responsible for any errors you find after signing off on your final proof.

Your ready-to-print proof will be sent in a PDF file. "PDF" means "Portable Document Format." This is a file format that can easily be read on any computer, PC or Mac, by Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Home printing is a great, cost-effective option. Photo ink-jet printers or color laser printers work best. Make sure the printing quality is set to the highest possible mode and that you select the proper paper type setting.

Well then, the options are endless! Try a local print or copy shop, or one of the online printing services listed in our Resources section. We also can format select invitations for letterpress.

Invitations look best on heavier paper, so you should get the heaviest paper your printer can handle. Try a variety of paper types and thicknesses and see what you like. Most home printers can handle between 60-80 lbs. paper stock. Make sure you confirm the maximum paper thickness that your printer can handle. Otherwise, you might cause a paper jam or even damage your printer. If you are working with a local print or copy shop, check with them to see what paper types they have available and any suggestions they might have. Also, check out our Resources page for more ideas and links to paper sources.

It is almost impossible to make printed colors match what you see on your screen. This is because all computer screens and printers are different so the colors you see on your screen may not exactly match what you print out. If there is a major difference, your monitor might not be calibrated, your paper might not be compatible with your printer or your ink levels could be low. Paper color can also effect the appearance of the ink. When you receive your first proof you should test it out on your printer.

Using the printer setting and ink suggested by the printer manufacturer often provides the best result. Otherwise, you will need to experiment with the printing controls and adjust brightness/darkness, saturation, or color balance individually.

If you print your invitations at home, you can easily cut them out with an X-ACTO knife and ruler and a cutting mat. Many local copy shops will cut out your invitations as well. Check with them for their rates and make sure to tell them to cut them as accurately as possible.
