RETURN TO MIDDLE EARTH with this Lord of the Rings or Hobbit shimmering green wedding invitation. A Map of Middle Earth is printed on a Stardream Metallic Fairway Green (or as I like to call it: Shire Green!) heavy cardstock, which is made into a gatefold. The gatefold opens to reveal your invitation with a gold colored leaf border, printed on Ecru Linen cardstock.

The LOTR reply card is printed with the same leaf border onto matching Ecru Linen cardstock. The reply envelope is made with text-weight Ecru Linen paper.

The Middle Earth gatefold invitation is wrapped with a gold belly band and sealed with your monogram. The entire suite is enclosed in a matching Ecru envelope . This envelope can be addressed, using the same font, with your guests' addresses for an additional fee.

The Save the Date postcard is printed on matching cardstock, with the leaf border in green. Your return address is included on the back. For an additional charge, I can print your guests' addresses on them as well.

THIS LISTING IS FOR A SAMPLE, which includes the gatefold, invite, reply card, Save the Date postcard, belly band and monogram, plus gatefold & reply card envelopes.

TURN-AROUND TIME: Keep in mind that deluxe invitations take time to create. If you order the standard (pictured) design, with no color or font changes, expect your final order to be ready to ship 30 days after you have given me all the information I need to proceed with your order. If you order a completely customized design, expect your order to be ready to ship in 8 weeks. Of course, turn-around time depends upon your prompt reply to my questions about your design. I cannot be held responsible for delays due to slow responses to my inquiries.

THE PROCESS: I will send you electronic proofs as we work together on your project. Up to 5 changes in your design is included in the price. Each additional change is $7.00 per change. I am not responsible for misspelled words, incorrect dates, times, etc. that you have submitted, so please make sure you have sent me the correct information. If the error is due to my mistake, however, there is no charge for the correction!

I will mail a sample hard copy proof to you, free of charge, once the designing stage has been completed. You can then see your invites, etc. “in person” for a final proof. I will begin printing your project after you have notified me of your approval of the final, hard copy proof.

WORDS OF CAUTION: It is recommended that you mail your invitations 2 months before your wedding. If your wedding date is 4 months from now (or less), do not order these invitations, as they might not be completed in time for you to mail them. (I don’t want to discourage you from ordering, but I would hate to see your invitations mailed too late!)

The smallest amount you can order is 25.
