Stationery FAQ

  • What is the cost of wedding invitations?

    The cost of wedding invitations can vary widely depending on various factors such as paper quality, design complexity, and any special add-ons like wax seals or ribbon. We offer several pre-designed packages to suit different needs and budgets, ranging from basic to luxury. Customized quotes are also available for clients with unique requirements. To get a more specific estimate, feel free to reach out to us with details about your wedding, and we'll be happy to provide a tailored quote.

  • If we don't live near Calgary, can we still work with you?

    Absolutely! Thanks to the wonders of digital communication, we've successfully collaborated with couples from various locations. We can handle all consultations through video calls, emails, or phone conversations. Once the design is finalized, your wedding invitations can be securely shipped to your address, regardless of where you are located.

  • What is the turn-around time for wedding invitations?

    Our standard turn-around time for wedding invitations is approximately 10 days from the moment the design is finalized, which includes both the design and printing phases. If you're in a rush, expedited services are available at an additional cost. It's always a good idea to order your invitations well in advance, especially if you're considering special add-ons or customizations that may require extra time. If you're uncertain about the timeline, reach out to us and we'll help you plan accordingly.

  • When should we send out our wedding invitations?

    The timing for sending out wedding invitations depends on various factors such as the location of your wedding and whether it's a destination event. For local weddings, sending out invitations 8-12 weeks prior to the wedding date is usually sufficient. For destination weddings or weddings during peak season, you might consider sending them out 6-10 months in advance.

  • How many wedding invitations should we order?

    Determining the number of wedding invitations to order can be a bit tricky. A good rule of thumb is to count one invitation per household, rather than per guest. We recommend ordering a few extras to account for last-minute additions or any errors in addressing the invitations. It's generally a good idea to order 10-15% more invitations than you think you'll need.

  • How do we word our wedding invitations?

    The wording of your wedding invitations can set the tone for your big day. While traditional wording tends to be more formal, many couples opt for a more casual or creative approach to match their wedding style. We offer complimentary wording consultation as part of our design process to ensure your invitations reflect your unique celebration. Whether you want to stick with tradition or venture into something uniquely you, we've got you covered.

  • How do payments work for wedding invitations?

    We've made the payment process as straightforward as possible. Initially, only the design fees are due upfront as a retainer to secure your slot and start the creative process. These fees are non-refundable and are part of the total package cost.

  • Are there any installment options?

    Yes, we offer the convenience of installment payments for the remaining balance. Once the design process is complete, printing charges are billed as we proceed with each stage of your order. This approach allows you to spread out the costs over time, making it more budget-friendly.

  • Can we make changes to our package after making a payment?

    Absolutely! You have the flexibility to either upgrade or downgrade your package even after the initial payment. Any additional costs or savings will be adjusted in the remaining installment payments.

  • What happens if there are fluctuations in material costs?

    The initial estimates are based on current market rates for items like cardstock and envelopes. However, these can fluctuate. If any adjustments need to be made due to market changes, you'll be informed well in advance before the next stage of billing.

  • What are the payment methods you accept?

    We accept various forms of payment, including credit/debit cards and e-transfers. All transactions are securely processed to ensure the utmost safety of your information.

  • Are there any additional costs we should be aware of?

    The cost estimates provided are based on standard sizes, quality cardstock, and plain white envelopes. Customizations, such as special finishes or premium materials, will incur additional charges. Any such variations will be clearly communicated and require your approval before proceeding.
