I print my paper goods on a Heidelberg printing press, not a digital or laser printer. Offset printing is often called offset lithography. My cards use real printing inks and not toners which is what digital printing uses. Real inks just set into the paper deeper and richer, they are not shiney like digital printing tends to be.

And because my designs are based on the 1800's - 1930's, I print them in the way they were printed during that time. Therefore, your invitations really will have that high quality, vintage feel to them.

Once you go through the check out, you can fill in all the wording you want in the "message to Seller" section. Once you do that, you will receive your proofs via the EMAIL you have on file with Etsy within 24 hours.

Your purchase comes with three rounds of revisions. Any revisions after the first three are charged at $20 per revision. This does not include unlimited color proofs to choose from. Once you officially approve your design, your cards take 3-5 weeks for production and another 2-4 business days for the mail within the US or 6-10 outside.

Because every bride and groom is so unique, it's almost impossible to order invitations with just a click of a button. All invitations are printed flat (non-metallic) unless you request metallic foil. All envelopes are blank unless you ask for printing. Both options cost additional. Please contact me to set these features up for you.

What can you change?
-- Wording
-- Colors
I spend hours researching the perfect fonts for the era of each design. Design fees will be charged to change fonts. It's not as easy as a click of a button, sometimes, the entire design changes when fonts are changed.

Please do! I am a paper hoarder and I would love to clean out my closets. But seriously, ordering a physical sample is the ONLY way to see, feel, touch what your final product will look like. There are so many variables and stress factors associated with planning a wedding, ordering a physical sample will eliminate a lot of that stress:

Besides being a paper hoarder, I am a color addict and love coordinating my designs to your wedding palette. Submitting a digital swatch or mood board with your order helps me greatly. But please confirm before you place your order just to make sure your color vision will work with whichever design you choose. Your purchase comes with three rounds of revisions which includes one color study.

I do not sell any digital files of my work. I adore the printing process and it is part of my life. And because my designs are based on the 1800's - 1930's, I print them in the way they were printed during that time. Therefore, your invitations really will have that high quality, vintage feel to them.
