What makes you different from all the other invitation
shops?
We know that creating an event is
very stressful. By purchasing your invitations through us, we provide
you a stress-free experience. We are design
consultants helping our clients get their invitation of
their dreams - consult with us on colors, details, fonts, theme,
papers, etc. We provide assembly with no extra cost (except
for our bottle invitations), modern guest calligraphy of
your selected font, stamp service for your response card and even
your outer envelope, any customized features such as hand-pressed
wax seals, hand-tied ribbons, hand-torn details, and customized artwork.

Is there a minimum we
have to reach?
Yes, we have a $300 minimum on any of our portfolio pieces and $500 for custom
invitations. Stamps, tax (california) and shipping is not included in this
minimum. In some of our pieces, we require a minimum quantity to purchase,
i.e. letterpress.
How about if I have suggestions and ideas, are you
open to those?
Of course! If you have clippings of ideas, a certain theme,
or other ideas from parts of your event (flowers, color of dresses,
location) for your event already, let us know. Bring them along during
your free consultation! However, please don't ask us to "copy" another
invitation. Please go there and purchase their invitations.
Should I order extra invitations when I place
my order?
Yes, definitely. We recommend that clients
order at least 10% additional invites/products than they originally intended.
Any reorders will include a re-setup fee of $50 in addition to the per
piece price plus rush fees (25% surcharge) may apply.
What is your payment process?
Payment is through paypal.com or your major credit card (VISA, MasterCard,
Discover, American Express and Paypal invoice). If you'd like to use your card
and would like to call it in, please contact us.
What is the turnaround time after my approval?
After your approval, 2 weeks minimum after you send your design approval. This
may change depending on quantity and season.
Where are you located and could I contact you to talk
further about ideas or suggestions?
Of course, we are here to help! We are located in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I'm in a hurry, could you rush my order?
Yes, if our current work load allows it, we will definitely try to accommodate
our clients. Rush order is considered 4 weeks or less. It also depends on
quantity and which piece. A 25% surcharge is added to Rush orders. Rush orders
are not included in our monthly specials promotions.
Could you self address the invites, add stamps to
the respond envelopes and outside envelopes for me?
Absolutely! Since the wedding invites are delivered fully assembled,
there is no extra charge for affixing stamps to the respond envelopes, only
the cost of the stamps. For additional fee, we do offer modern guest addressing
for outer and inner envelopes for your guests' names and addresses. We do not
add stamps to international mailings though unless you pay for our "send to
post office" service.

Shipping and $10+ handling costs will be added on the ending
price if the invitations or announcements will be mailed back to you.

later?

designs in one round. There is a 2 round limit. After 2 rounds, you
will be charged $50 per round. Please proof all your text before submitting.

are also available. Further charges will be applied. We can also seal
your finished invitations for you.

is required, depending on the complexity of the art. Please allow at

or even just graphic artwork could be produced. Any artwork produced

your invitations? Of course! Those formats on our collection
are merely formats (folder, non-folder, vertical, horizontal, tea
length). If you like a specific artwork or style but prefer a horizontal
layout, you got it! These invitations should reflect you. We highly
recommend to ask for any specific detail. We'll make it happen! This
is not considered a custom invitation.
