About these Invitations
An invitation is the only thing I make where the wording carries actual information, so it is the one people proofread hardest. Names, date, time, address and the RSVP number all go on, and every one of them is set into the design before printing rather than left blank for you to fill in by hand afterwards.
Order a single one first if you are unsure. At €2 that is a cheap way to see the card in person and check the wording before committing to fifty, and it is what I would do myself.
Printed on heavyweight cardstock in my studio in Mallow, County Cork, in A6 or A5, with a white or kraft envelope for every one. The price per invitation drops as the pack size goes up, so thirty or fifty is where it becomes genuinely cheap. Dispatch is 2 to 4 working days by An Post, so work back from the date the invitations need to go out rather than the date of the party. See also birthday invitations and christening and baptism invitations.
Invitation questions, answered
From proof to print, here's how an invitation order runs
What do I need to send you before you print?
Names, the date, the venue and any wording you want included, added through the personalisation box or sent to me directly for longer details.
Can I see a proof before it's printed?
Yes. Invitations always go out as a digital proof first. Nothing prints until you've approved it, so this is the point to catch any changes.
Do you print envelopes and address them?
Envelopes are included with every pack. Addressing them isn't included as standard, but ask if you need it for a large guest list.
How long does printing take once I approve the proof?
Made to order and dispatched within 2-5 working days of your proof approval, so allow extra time on top of the design and approval stage.
Can I order more later if my guest list grows?
Yes, keep the design details and message me for a top-up order. Small batches print quickly since the design is already set.
Can I get matching thank you cards or other stationery?
Yes, several invitation designs have a matching thank you card. Ask when ordering and I'll let you know what's available for that design.
