Quality of products
We pride ourselves on selling only premium quality invitations, card stock and other items. If there is ever a problem with the quality of a product you have received through out site, please let us know immediately and we will be happy to do anything possible to assist you.
 


Bow assembly / die-cut assembly
We typically do not assemble bows or die-cuts on the cards you order without an extra charge. We do always try to assemble one card for you as a demonstration. If you would like us to assemble your cards, please contact us via E-mail. Indicate the card style you are interested in and how many you will need and we will quote you an assembly price. If a card requires customer assembly, you will see indicating customer assembly is required.
 


Postage requirements
Currently all stationery products on our site require U.S. postal service STANDARD postage, except for square 6” x 6” card stock styles. The postal service does require a small amount of additional postage (approximately $.12) as they are not able to automate the processing of a square envelope. It is best to check with your local post office to determine the appropriate amount of postage needed for your envelope prior to purchasing your postage. If an item requires extra postage, you will see in the item’s description.
 


Catalog request
We do not offer a printed catalog as we are continually adding new products to our site and a catalog would be out of date as soon as they are printed. However, we are equipped to email you a sample of a card via email.

Ordering Personalized / Imprinted Cards

Arrangement / lines of text
We typically can fit any amount of wording (lines of text) that you need on any card or paper, although thank you notes are typically printed with 1 line of text. If a product accommodates only a limited amount of text, this will be noted in the product’s description. Of course, the more text you would like printed, the smaller the type will have to be. We will let you know ahead of time if we foresee any problems with your personalized text upon receipt of your order.
We ask that you provide us with your personalized text on the online/fax order form in the format you would like to see it. We will always use professional judgment in arranging the text as centered or in the best format available for the product you ordered. We will also correct spelling or grammar errors. Be sure to always proofread your personalized text before submitting your order to us. Please ask about our suggested wording for all types of occasions.
 


Proofs of personalized / printed orders
You may receive a proof prior to printing AT an ADDITIONAL CHARGE for any personalized item on our site. All items on our site actually REQUIRE you approve a proof before the item will be printed. Look for to indicate whether or not you approve the proof. The proof will be scanned in color (for e-mail) or a faxed in black and white and will be the actual card or paper you ordered with your text formatted nicely.
If you are unsure whether your product requires a proof, simply make a note in the comment section of the order form that you would like a proof via fax or e-mail. We will then send a proof to you within 1-3 days (typically via e-mail) and you will need to reply with your approval or changes via fax or e-mail. The proof will be in .JPG format as an attachment with a message subject in the e-mail “proof attached-please reply”. You will need to click on the attachment to view the proof. If you have trouble viewing your proof, please contact us via E-mail and we may be able to send you an additional proof in a revised format.
There may be a $5 charge per item for changes to the copy or font style in your order if the change is made after you receive your initial proof. In addition, if you cancel your order after you receive your initial proof, we do reserve the right to charge a $25 cancellation fee. The reason these charges exist, is due to the time and care involved in handling and typesetting each personalized order. Again, if you have questions about proofing your order, please E-mail us and we will be happy to further assist you.


Printing
All printed text is printed with professional quality printers and is “flat”. Some invitations do come with thermographic “raised text” printing. We are unable to print any of your specified text on the “back” side of any card, as the company logo/trademark information is displayed on the back side corner of each product.
 


Color of ink / fonts
You typically will have a choice of 6 or more ink colors to choose from, unless a specific product is only available with black ink for the text. If this is the case, it will be noted in the product’s description. Ink choice colors do vary by manufacturer and can be found on each product’s ordering page by clicking on “view options” near the “select a font color” drop down box on the ordering pages. Ink colors can often be adjusted to more closely match the design of the product you have ordered. Often suggested font colors will be shown for a product.
You will also have a choice of at least 20 different fonts. Font choices do vary by manufacturer and can be found on each product’s ordering page by clicking on “view options” near the “select a font” drop down box on the ordering pages.


Wording samples
Any text you see on any card or paper on our site, is just an example and all of our products are personalized with any text you create and specify. We have hundreds of suggested wording to choose from according to your occasion and theme, ask about our verse book. You can also find a great selection of wording samples at  www.verseit.com.


Non-English text
We have the ability to print non-English text. We will need you to transmit the text to us in the format you would like it to be printed on your card/paper. Then, we will e-mail or fax a proof to you within 24 hours for your approval. Please note: You will need to specify any accent marks or special character markings that need to be included with your text. Also, not all fonts support non-English characters. We will let you know upon receipt of your order if there is a problem with the font you have chosen.
 


Errors in printing
We guarantee our work 100%. If there is an error in printing and it is our fault, we will reprint your order—no questions asked and at no additional charge.
 


Ordering Blank Products (You Print)

How to print
The majority of the card stock/paper items on our site are available so you can imprint text with your home printer or local professional printer. Any word processing program can be used to format your text, but we do recommend either Corel Word Perfect, Microsoft Word or Adobe Page Maker.
• BLANK Card stock – Due to the weight and quality of the card stock we sell, a relatively straight paper path is needed in order to feed the paper through your printer. If a card has a die-cut top, you will need to adjust your printer settings so the card is fed through the printer “bottom first” or straight edge first. Set your printer page size to the size of the card. Thank you notes and note cards typically need to be flattened out before they can be sent through your printer.
• BLANK Laser/Inkjet papers – These are very easy to print and basically will feed through any type paper path, straight or curved. The paper size is the same as a standard 8.5” x 11” sheet of paper.
• BLANK Vellum Styles – This is a special type of waxy, translucent paper and will not absorb printer ink. Preferably vellum should be imprinted on a laser printer, but an inkjet printer set on “light” ink output settings will print vellum fine. You may possibly need to print the vellum one at a time and not allow one sheet to lay on top of another for approximately 10-20 minutes to allow the ink to dry.
• BLANK Photo Cards – Photo cards are shipped folded and totally blank inside so you can imprint your own text. Again, you will need a relatively straight paper path to feed the photo cards through your printer.
