Q The designs on these pages don’t exactly match with what I had in mind. Can you accommodate me?
A Each design is available in a range of colours and shapes. If you provide us with the colour theme of your wedding we will be able to match the stationery to it. If you require something different from the designs shown please contact us.

Q How do I choose the correct colour and typeface?
A Feel free to choose any of the typefaces listed under the wording section of these pages. We do recommend that you use the chosen typeface throughout your stationery for continuity. You may also choose any colour – you may wish to keep the colour of the typeface as close as possible to the colour of the design on the front of the card or you may wish to use black. Please note that any gold/silver colours used will be matt ink. We will try to match the colour of the design to your description. If you would like us to match the colour to a material swatch or similar we can do so.

Q What stationery do I need?
A See below

	Save the Date Cards – sent out prior to the invitations, from as soon as the wedding date is set, to ensure guests keep the date free. Not all couples do this but it may be an idea if getting married during the busy summer months or for overseas guests that need to plan their travel.
	Day Invitations – these need to be sent out at least 12 weeks prior to the wedding date. One card per couple/family.
	Evening Invitations – sent out at the same time as the day invites and are used for those additional guests just invited to the evening function.
	Reply Cards – sent out with the invitations. Supplied with their own envelope which may be stamped and addressed to encourage guests to reply quickly.
	Orders of Service – given to guests before the ceremony by the ushers. They list the order of ceremony, music, hymns, prayers, marriage.
	Menus – Available at the reception to list the food and drink arrangements.
	Place Names – used at the reception to indicate where each guest should sit.
	Thank you Cards – sent out on return from Honeymoon to thank guests for attending and for their gifts.
	Table Plan – displayed at the reception for guests to identify the tables they are sitting at.

Q How many should I order?
A Remember when ordering your stationery lots of your guests will be couples who can be given one invitation, as can families who live in the same household. It is also a good idea to order a few extra day and evening invitations to allow for any mistakes when addressing them or for extra guests to be invited. This also applies to Save The Day Cards, Reply Cards and Thank You Cards. One Order of Service should be ordered for each couple and extra for the clergy and choir. Menus can be randomly placed around the tables to share (on average 5 guests per menu).

Q When should I order my stationery?
A You should order you stationery 7 to 9 weeks prior to the date you wish to send out your invitations. But the longer we have the better. If you need your stationery sooner please contact us as we may be able to provide a quicker service (this may incur an additional cost).

Q I want all the menus, order of service and place names to be personalised (printed with inserts or guest names) but I don’t yet have all the information. Can I order them and let you know the details once I have them?
A It is recommended that you order all your stationery items together so that we can ensure design consistency. However details (i.e. wording and guest names) for items such as menu inserts, order of service inserts, table plans and place names may be submitted at a later date.
