Glamorous wedding save the date with a midnight blue colour stripe highlighting your names. My larger, square format card for added impact. Includes envelopes.
Includes —
• Printed Save the Dates (14.8 x 14.8cm | SQ Format):
– Your personalised save the date details/wording;
– Digitally printed to both sides on 300gsm ‘The Italian’ classically textured card;
– Alternatively, printed on 350gsm uncoated ‘The New Yorker’ for a modern feel—printed colours will appear cooler in tone than when printed on ‘The Italian’;
– Crisp white invitation envelopes;
– Add on extras like envelope liners to complete the look.
Send me your wording and select any design options or embellishments by clicking on “Select Options & Buy”.
Once you have inputted the quantity of cards that you need, the unit price will update to reflect the tier pricing. Any embellishments or additional cards you have selected will be listed as a total price under ‘Enclosures & Extras Total’, with tier pricing calculated as appropriate. You can pay in total now or pay a deposit, with the balance due after design work and before printing of your cards.
When I have your wording, and guest names if applicable, I take the information that you provide, open up my design software, and amend the base designs so they work best for your own particular wording and preferences. That might mean making a heading a little smaller sized, or moving things about to fit better.
You can expect your first design proof within 3 working days—usually sooner. Up to 3-revisions are included as standard to ensure the design is perfect for you before printing starts. Each additional revision is £15, billed separately.
Once all proofs are approved, printing begins, or in the case of “design only” orders, I supply you with all the files necessary to start your own printing. I do any finishing in-house, carefully check everything over, and send on to you.
The entire process usually takes between 1-4 weeks, depending on the type of item you’ve ordered, the size of your order and any additional customisations you have requested. I highly recommend ordering at least 1 month before you need your items. You don’t want your pretty new stationery to arrive after the big day!
Word your cards however feels best for you. For a Save the Date, it could simply be your names, the date, and an indication there will be a wedding!
If you are stuck, use the wording form provided to give you some ideas. Don’t worry if you don’t get it perfect, we can refine things during the design process for you. And, if you need any help with wording, please get in touch and I’ll do my best to help you through the process.
Save the Date Cards – 6+ Months
The sooner you send out your Save the Date cards the less double-booked guests you’ll have, so it’s a good idea to send at least 6 months before your wedding date, and as early as possible of your guests will have to make special arrangements to attend.
Wedding Invitations – 3-6 Months
It’s never too early to send out your invitations, but plan to get them in the post box around 3 months before the big day, at the latest! It’s a good idea to ask your guests to RSVP at least 2 weeks before your suppliers need their final numbers so that you have time to chase up anyone who hasn’t responded!
On the Day Stationery – 1-2 Months
Order your on-the-day stationery, like wedding programs, menus and table plans, a couple of months in advance: as soon as you have your final head-count and the finer details in place.
Invitations and cards come printed onto premium quality card weight (300-350gsm) paper: either ‘The Italian’, which has a hammered texture, adds a beautiful warmth to the cards, and offers a premium-classic look; or ‘The New Yorker’ which is smooth, uncoated, and has cooler undertones for a modern look.
The final colour of the design will vary slightly between printed batches and depending on paper chosen.
If you have any questions, or would like me to quote you for other design customisations, you can email me at deborah@doraanddeb.com, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can!
