Get a garden party look for your wedding with these romantic, green wisteria wedding invitations. The front of the design features your custom wording and a brush painted wisteria bower in the Chinese style. The reverse of the card features your choice of reverse – either a tumbling wisteria pattern or wisteria bower – with or without your RSVP information. Enclosure cards and embellishments are available to build your own suite.
Includes –
• Printed Wedding Invitations (14.8 x 21cm | A5 | Portrait Format):
– Your personalised wedding details/wording;
– Optional included guest name printing on the front of your main invitation;
– Optional printing of your RSVP information to the reverse;
– 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.
Modular Suite Options —
• Guest Information Card (14.8cm x 14.8cm | SQ Format) – square format large enclosure card which you can use for any additional wedding details that you want to share with your guests. It features space for your wording on the front on your choice of two wisteria designs, and your choice of reverse from 2 wisteria designs – oversized or tumbling, order of the day information for your key timings, or a wedding menu for when you need your guests to select from menu options.
• RSVP Card (14.8 x 10.5cm | A6 | Landscape Format) – double sided response card with your RSVP form to one side and either a postcard style or wisteria reverse with your names and wedding date.
• RSVP Envelope (C6-) – return envelope to use with a ‘standard style’ RSVP card. It is sized to fit your RSVP card snuggly and is lighter weight than the main invitation envelope (around 100gsm) in order to keep your postage costs down. You can choose from blank to write your own address or, for orders over 25 cards, opt for them to be printed with your details.
• Small Enclosure Card or Gift Wish Card (10.5 x 10.5 cm | Square Format) – a useful small format card that you can use for a short quote or other short information. Ideal to use as a honeymoon wish card or for details of your gift list or wedding website.
• Vellum Wrap – protect your invitations and add a touch of mystery by adding a translucent ‘vellum’ to wrap around your invitation or card bundle.
• Bellyband – to wrap around the outside of your suite and tie everything together. Alternatively, you might choose to use some ribbon or twine, or another embellishment of your choice!
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!
