  • Design Specifications

    Our designs are thoughtfully created and all elements are intentionally selected to create the best overall design. We do not offer any major changes to the design layouts featured in our Semi-Custom Collection. Your names, the date & time, the location and venue information can be customized. When choosing your Semi-Custom suite design we recommend paying special attention to the wording layout. For example, if you would like to include your parents names, choose a suite design that features this wording layout.

    Variations

    Our handmade papers are made by hand; there may be size, shape and color variations from piece to piece. We consider handmade paper imperfections to be a part of the paper's unique charm.

    The hand-crafted nature of letterpress creates slight variations from one printed piece to the next. Any slight irregularities are not flaws, but the result of the artisanal process of working with a century old, antique printing press. Letterpress inks are transparent, the paper color beneath will show slightly through the print. This creates the soft, matte appearance we love! We strive to represent the colors shown on our website as accurately as possible, but we cannot guarantee that the printed color will look exactly like the screen color.

    Our calligraphy is handwritten, please note that there will be slight letter form and placement variances throughout. Names, words or phrases will vary depending on the letters and length. Each hand addressed envelope will vary depending on the letters, the length and arrangement of names, street names, city, and state lengths.

    Availability

    We cannot guarantee the papers, envelopes or embellishments displayed on our website will be available from our suppliers, particularly during peak seasons. If your selections are unavailable we will notify you and present you with alternative options of the same quality. To ensure paper availability for our Semi-Custom clients, we work with a number of paper suppliers whose product aesthetic may vary slightly from the example photos on our website.

    Our services are offered on a first come, first served basis. Occasionally, we may become fully booked and unable to accept new orders.
