When you’re ready to accept our quotation and the specification has been agreed we’ll ask for a 50% deposit and start the detail design phase. We won’t print anything without your written approval, and when your project’s ready for despatch of collection we’ll ask for the balance to be paid. The exception to this is for bespoke line drawings for which we ask for full payment for the drawing at the time of your order.
Have a look through our products online and give one of our designers a call or email to start a discussion. Your dedicated designer will ask some questions about style, numbers, and other details to give you a budgetary price and a preliminary proof of your stationery.
A general rule of thumb is 50% of your guest numbers plus around 10%. So 120 guests would be 60 + 6 invitations. It’s worth making a detailed list and perhaps adding a few extra invitations to your order as a reprint can be very expensive.
We’d be happy to provide a timeline for your stationery based on your wedding date. However for general planning we’d suggest ordering around 6 months prior to your wedding. You can view a timeline for your stationery in our Wedding Stationery Guide.

Save the Dates are a kindness to your guests, giving them ample notice to ensure they can make arrangements well in advance to attend. We would recommend you sending them if your wedding or event is at key times of the year such as, Bank Holidays, Christmas and New Year, Easter or during summer holidays, of if you’re getting married overseas. Save the Dates should be sent around 12 months prior to your event.
Yes, we have a number of recycled stocks in our standard range, though there are often compromises that have to be made in the look, feel and print quality when using recycled material. Please call or email for details.
Printing has an undeserved reputation, from a time long past, for being wasteful and less than sensitive to the environment. Today the truth is much less dramatic and much more commercial, no print business can afford to be anything but very careful indeed about energy conservation, transport costs, and waste management etc. We endeavour to locally source whenever possible, we recycle all our waste stock, use the best environmentally sensitive options in our process and are diligent in keeping our general waste to an absolute minimum.
Letterpress works best on what’s called uncoated paper stock, this is where we print directly onto the fibres used to create the paper. Usually the stock is either a wood pulp mix or cotton, each has it’s own merits – so we choose for the application.
