Steps to Ordering an Invitation

Step 1 - Choose the Design

We have colourful floral designs with complimentary fonts which tie in with the floral colours. We also offer sleek modern designs if you're not a fan of florals! Each design has matching stationery to ensure a beautiful cohesive look from start to finish. Each matching item is individually priced making it easy for you to decide what you require before, during and after your big day!

Step 2 - Pocket or Vellum Wrap

Your invitation can be presented in a contemporary pocket, either portrait or landscape style. Or if you don't want a pocket, your invitation can be presented in a classy vellum wrap. Both pockets and vellum wraps contain the invitation & white envelope, RSVP & envelope, up to 2 inserts and are held together with a matching belly band. We have recently introduced magnetic pockets which are ultra modern! These invitation suites are fully assembled for you. The pockets come in luxurious pearlised card (230gsm) but can also come in matte card (240-300gsm) if you want to keep your costs down. Both look wonderful and provide a neat information package with all your additional information tucked into the pocket inside. There are lots of colours to choose from. The vellum wrap style, is a cheaper option but still looks incredibly classy. The invitation and all inserts are printed on white card which comes either textured matte (260-300gsm) or white silk card (350gsm). For the pockets I would advise using a lighter weight white card to reduce postal costs. The heavier the card the more postage will cost. Just something to consider!

Step 3 - Order a Sample

We would always advise ordering a sample of the design you like. Please note that these will not be personalised but give you the opportunity to take a closer look at the design, colours, fonts and the card stock quality. Included in your sample will be your chosen colour and style of pocket with invitation, RSVP & envelope, 2 inserts, a lined 5x7" envelope and a matching belly band (if not a magnetic pocket). I will also include the matching Save the Date and a couple of other 'On the Day' stationery items e.g. menu, place card, table number, etc. If you wish to order a Vellum Wrap Invitation sample the same items for the pocket will be included. This will give you a flavour of how wonderful everything looks together. Sample packs cost £5 each and you can order a maximum of 3 samples if you can't make up your mind! The cost of your chosen sample (£5) will be deducted from your balance if you proceed with a full order including 'On the Day' wedding stationery.

Step 4 - Place Your Order

You can either order via the website or by email. When using the website, select the appropriate elements from the drop-down menu to help us design your invitation. Please remember that you don't need one Invitation and Save the Date card per guest. You only need one Invitation and one Save the Date card per household. You won't need as many as you perhaps think you do! I would highly recommend ordering an extra 5-10 more invitations to allow for additional guests being added if other guests can't make it or even just to keep as a memento! You may want to order your matching Save the Date and Evening Invitations at this stage too. You will have to make full payment if using the website. If you order via an email, I will send you a manual invoice which you can pay in part-payments as long the order is fully paid just before going to print. Orders over £200 have free delivery. On receiving your order either via the website or an email, we will email you asking you to complete our Google form enabling us to get the personal information we require to begin your preliminary proofs. The quicker you complete the questionnaire the sooner we can begin designing your wedding invitation suite. Please check that spelling is correct for names, venues, etc. Any errors can be picked up in further proof rounds but if we can catch them from the start that is helpful. Approximately six-eight weeks before your wedding day we will be in touch again to discuss your requirements for your 'On the Day' stationery as you will have more accurate numbers as to how many will be attending your wedding. Don't forget to add Optional Extras! Please note these are additional costs. If you wish to go super glam then why not add a wax seal? These give your invitation suites the wow factor! You can also add guest addressing on your 5x7" outer envelope, pre-addressing the RSVP envelope and personalising each invitation with your guests names. Coloured envelopes are also available but please note that darker colours cannot be printed on. A white label would need to be printed on then added to the envelope.

Step 5 - The Design Process

To start the design process, we ask for a £30 deposit. We will email you your proof designs to review. This will take up to 3-5 working days. We will notify you if there will be a delay. Please check spelling, dates, times on each item. Make sure you are happy with the wording. See bottom of our website for wording examples. There will be a further 2 rounds of proofreading to ensure everything is correct. Once you are happy with the designs and have signed off the digital designs we will ask for the final balance to be paid before proceeding to the printing stage. As we will be holding your personal details, please view our Privacy Policy.

Step 6 - Completing Your Order

Your order will be completed in 1 - 2 weeks after final sign-off depending on the style you have chosen and the quantities. Pockets are all handmade so take longer than the vellum invitations. Everything will be fully assembled for you. Please allow an extra five working days if you would like us to post your invitations to you. For urgent orders, please email us for a quote: joyweddingstationery@hotmail.com and we will do our best to fulfil your request.

Step 7 - Postage and Delivery

If local, you we can organise a hand delivery or collection. If postal delivery is required, a signature will be needed. Prices are determined by weight and size of the box. For mainland UK, the price will range from £3 - £10. A price will be calculated for you and added to your final invoice. Orders over £200 have free delivery. On receipt of wedding stationery, please check everything and if there are any issues, please contact us within 48 hours. See Shipping Policy for further information.
