Can
I customize my invitations or announcements?
Absolutely. We encourage our customers to use their creativity
and collaborate with our artists to create unique invitations and
announcements. You can alter a design in one of our galleries, or
we can work with you to create an entirely new design personalized
for your needs.
Can I change the fonts and colors used?
Yes. We have a wide range of colors of card stock, paper, and ribbon, with which we can customize the colors on any of our designs. Typography is a large part of our design process, and we go to great measures to be sure that the typestyle chosen for a design is the one that best compliments the invitation. However, we are flexible. We have a font library of hundreds of different typestyles that you can choose from-go to our Fonts
page to see a sampling of some of our favorites.
Do you offer addressing?
Yes. We can custom print mailing addresses and/or envelopes
as well as return addresses in a coordinating font to that on your
stationery. We can also custom print place cards. Click here
to see our price list for custom
printing.
Can you create an invitation with a
photograph or artwork that I supply for you?
Yes. We are happy to incorporate any images into your stationery
that you would like to supply. In fact, we have a set of wedding
stationery designed specifically to use your photos. (See Mia-click
here!) We can use your artwork with one of our existing designs,
or we can custom design a new invitation or announcement based around
your original work.
What is included in the price of each
invitation on your site?
Each invitation in our galleries is displayed on its own web
page, with a list of basic prices for different available pieces
in that set. Prices are listed for the stationery set as it is shown
in the photograph on the page. For example, the wedding invitations
Courtney and Miranda
are pictured with a custom designed logo. Therefore, those prices
include a custom designed logo. Of course, you can order the set
without the logo, if you prefer, at a lower price. All prices listed
are base prices, and may change as you customize your stationery.
Invitations, enclosures, and other accessories are priced separately,
so you can choose exactly the pieces you would like to purchase.
The price of wedding invitations includes either an envelope set
(both a lined inner and unlined outer envelope) or a mailing box,
depending on the design. Other invitation and announcement prices
include a single envelope. Response card prices also include a single
envelope. Response postcards are designed to be mailed like postcards,
and therefore do not include an envelope.
Can
I order samples of the invitations and announcements in your galleries?
Yes. Go to the ordering page to order samples. Samples from our galleries will appear exactly as they are shown in the photographs. Your first three samples are complimentary. Every sample after that is $4.00. Once an order is placed, we will credit the amount spent on samples toward your final purchase price.
Can I order as few as 25 wedding
invitations?
Yes. We can process orders from as small as 25, and in many
cases even less. Although our prices are listed in increments of
50, these are only guidelines. We can print any number of pieces.
Keep in mind when ordering, however, that it is better to have too
many than too few. It costs more to reorder 25 extras later versus
including 25 extra in your original order.
Can I write my own wording?
Yes. We encourage it. We have several traditional and contemporary
wording samples on our Wording page, and
you are free to use those as they are, change them however you like,
or completely create your own. We will also be happy to incorporate
any verses or any extra words you might want to include. There is
no limit to the number of lines or words you may use on your invitations.
We will go out of our way to insure that your invitations say just
what you want. Some of our designs do work better with the number
of lines shown in our samples, however.
When should I order and mail my
wedding invitations?
Ideally, the ordering process should begin as soon as you know
your wedding date, ceremony and reception locations, and approximate
number of guests being invited. Especially for custom orders, the
designing of the invitations is the most time consuming part, not
the actual printing. The earlier we can get started on your order,
the better. We can take most orders as late as eight weeks before
the date you need them in hand, and we can get them to you in two
to three weeks after your approval. Anything later than that would
be considered a rush order.
Typically,
wedding invitations should be mailed at least six weeks before the
wedding. However, if you have a lot of guests coming in from out
of town, eight weeks is a better time frame.
How about Save the Date cards?
Save the date cards are intended to give your guests as much prior notification for your wedding as is possible. Send them yesterday! Seriously, six to nine months before the wedding is typical for save the date cards, but sometimes you might want to send them earlier depending on the situation.
How about Wedding Programs?
The ordering process for programs should begin at least four weeks before you would like to receive them.
How much assembly will I need to
do once the invitations arrive?
It depends largely on the design of the invitation. All invitations will need to be packaged in envelopes along with any enclosures. Some designs require that ribbons be tied around or through invitations and enclosures before packaging them. Some will have to be folded. Some will have layers that need to be adhered together. Invitations will arrive with score lines and hole punches where necessary. We do offer assembly for each of our invitations. Prices are listed on the individual pages.
Can you match one of your designs
to my wedding colors?
Absolutely. We have a cardstocks, papers, and ribbons in a spectrum of colors, and we will work with you so that your invitations fit your color scheme.
What
are your custom logos all about?
For our wedding packages, we offer a logo design service. Your logo
can contain the first names of you and your future spouse along
with an elegantly designed ampersand (as seen on the Courtney
and Miranda wedding invitations),
your last initial, or your last name. We can then use the logo on
your invitations, reception and response cards, place cards, informals,
and just about anywhere else on your wedding stationery. We can
even provide you with a digital file containing the logo for future
use. Our logo design service starts at $50.
How does the ordering process work?
If you are interested in ordering, you can either visit our
ordering page and fill out an inquiry form, or call us at 303-780-9307. If you are interested in a design from our gallery, we can send you a sample. Once you have seen our products and gotten some ideas on what you would like, we will gather some information from you--specifics on what your date is, what wording you'd like, etc., and then we will then send you a proof complete with your wording and in your chosen color scheme. Along with the proof, you will receive an approval form, which, once you are happy with the design, you must sign and return to us with half of the total payment. Once payment and approval is received, we will begin printing. Custom orders will work much the same way, but we will first send you some rough samples after hearing your ideas. After you have seen our rough samples, contact us again with your input, we will further refine your design and create a final proof with your wording and send it to you with an approval form and invoice.
How can I contact you to ask further
questions or place an order?
You can email us at info@I-do-graphics.com,
or click here to go to our ordering
and contact page.
How
can I get a price for a product on your web site?
Each of our wedding invitations is shown on its own page of
our site, and each has a price chart shown on that page. (Go to
our Wedding Invitations home page to browse
our invitation gallery.) Our wedding web sites are priced in several
different packages, or by individual pages, listed on our Wedding
Web Sites home page.
What type of payments do you accept?
We accept personal checks, cashiers' checks, money orders, cash,
or credit cards through PayPal. If you wish to pay through PayPal, we will send your an email with the appropriate link to access PayPal once your order has been confirmed.
Do I have to pay before I receive
my order?
We require that you pay 50% of the total cost before we start printing. When you recieve your final proof, an approval form must be submitted to us with this payment before we begin printing. The balance will be collected once the order is sent to you.
How long does it take complete an
order?
Most orders made directly from our web site designs can generally
be shipped in three to four weeks, assuming we receive your approval
and payment in a timely manner. Larger or custom orders and some
wedding invitations may take longer.
What is the turn around time after
my final approval?
Once we have received your written approval and payment, we will start printing, and your order will generally be shipped within two to three weeks.
After I receive my final proof can I change anything?
Yes. We will make your revisions, and send you a new proof for your approval. In most cases we will send up to two samples of one of our gallery designs, allowing you two sets of revisions. For custom orders, we will send a rough sample and then up to two more samples, allowing for up to three sets of revisions. After the set number, we will charge $20 for subsequent sets of revisions.
Can
you do rush orders?
Yes. For designs in our galleries we can take orders up to two weeks
prior to the date you need your invitations, and possibly even less
depending on the complexity and size of the order. There is an extra
20% charge for rush orders.
