Frequently asked Questions
When should I order my wedding
stationery?
We recommend you order your wedding
invitations at least three months before the wedding
date, preferably six.
How many wedding invitations
should I order?
We recommend that you order a few
spare invitations to allow for mistakes, to invite
replacement guests if anyone cannot attend your wedding
and for mishaps when writing. If you need to order
more wedding invitations later, they will be charged
as a new order, with a minimum quantity of 20.
What wording should I choose
for my wedding invitations?
We offer a selection of verses to
suit different wedding styles. You may choose one
of these standard verses or write one of your own.
Please bear in mind that some of these standard verses
have space for you to write your guests' names and
others do not. Make sure that you choose an appropriate
verse if you wish to write your guests' names on your
wedding invitations.
Can I have foreign text on
my wedding invitations?
We can print your wedding stationery
in any language other than English for a small charge.
Please provide the wording as a word document.
Can I include additional information
with my wedding invitations?
Often the bride and groom will wish
to add extra information such as directions to the
church and reception, details of hotels, gift list,
etc. We can print this information for you on separate
note cards, in a variety of colours to complement
your wedding invitations.
When do I send out my wedding
invitations?
Ideally, you should send your wedding
invitations out eight weeks before the wedding to
allow guests to reply.
When should the RSVP date
be?
At least 4 weeks before the wedding
date - you cannot finalise the catering or seating
arrangements without knowing how many guests have
accepted your invitation.
What are printed envelopes?
Your wedding invitations, reply
cards and thank you cards will come with envelopes
as standard. Reply card envelopes will be pre-printed
with your name and address. For an additional charge,
you may also choose to have your name and address
printed on the flaps of other envelopes so that undelivered
items will be returned to you.
Who sends out the wedding
invitations?
Traditionally, the hosts of the
wedding day do this, but often the bride or close
family will do this.
What details do I need on
my Order of Service?
Entrance music, hymns, prayers,
marriage, benediction. Always check the format and
hymns with your clergy before placing your order.
Allow one wedding invitation
per couple or single person
Always order a few extra wedding
invitations in case of errors and additional guests.
If your wedding is planned
for Christmas
You will need to allow longer postage
time.
Different nationalities have different
wedding etiquette
Be careful to find out about different
customs so that you don't offend anyone.
Co-ordinate the whole of your wedding
day
Use ribbons and design motifs to
help co-ordinate the whole of your wedding day.
Thank your wedding guests
Remember to thank your guests for
their presence and gifts. We provide a large range
of printed or blank thank you notes to co-ordinate
with our wedding stationery. We also have a range
of gifts and favours, many of which may be personalised,
which are ideal for bridesmaids, best men, mums and
dads, etc.
