The balance of your invoice is due, at this time. Printing and production will not begin until we receive this payment. If you are paying by check, production will begin after we receive your check.

We will assemble the invitations or pack them up into Make-It-Yourself Kits and deliver them to you. Make-It-Yourself Kits include one assembled invitation.

Additional pieces, such as thank you notes, menus, place cards, and programs are easy to add once we establish the theme for your invitations. Pricing will be established and furnished to you for each piece, as we work through the design process for your stationery suite.
