Save the date
cards:
These are sent out once
you have set your wedding date. It
lets your guests avoid making other arrangements on your special day. They are especially suitable if your
wedding is planned several months ahead or during a holiday
season.
They are available as a card to match your
invitations or in postcard form and are supplied with envelopes.
Wedding and evening
invitations:
Invitations are sent out 6-12 weeks before your
wedding. They contain all the
information regarding the service and the reception. The evening invitations are usually
sent to guests you would like to share your day but cannot invite to the wedding
ceremony and reception due to the cost or available space. It is sometimes better to send the
evening invites out later as you may be able to invite someone to the wedding if
another guest cannot make it.
Wedding and evening invitations are provided
with a printed insert – you choose the wording and text, then approve it before
final printing takes place.
You
can order an extra couple of invitations to cover mistakes or to add an extra
guest to your list. In the event of you discovering you required more
stationery, it would not be a problem to make more.
Please order your invitations with as much
notice as possible.
Scroll invitations:
A
scroll is an unusual way to deliver your invitation. They can be a simple sheet
of paper with your invitation printed on it or your printed invitation layered
onto handmade paper or vellum. They are supplied with either boxes that can be

Scrolls
can be plain or can have a design, and many can be made so that they co-ordinate
with your other stationery requirements.
