Frequently Asked Questions
Please feel free to e-mail with any questions you have that are not
covered below
so I may add them for future reference
How do I start?
Initial consultations are free! We meet (by appointment), we look at samples and we come up with ideas to set the tone for your special day. From this meeting I create a personalised sample in your chosen colours. The cost of this sample is £6.50. And the sample is usually produced within 7-14 days unless other arrangements have been made.
What if we can’t meet in person, can we still get your hand made invitations and personal attention?
Yes, a face-to-face meeting is not necessary. Consultations may be done
by phone or email at your convenience.
A sample will be sent to you based
on this discussion for a cost of £6.50.
This process may take a little longer but my personal attention to your
requirements is in no way compromised. I have worked with many couples
that live in other parts of the country and here is what one couple had
to say.
“Even though I live in Scotland I was able to convey exactly
what I required over the telephone and when I received the sample it was
even better than I ever imagined. I am thrilled to bits”. Karen
and Bobby - Edinburgh
How long does it take to process an order.
Because of the personal attention given to each order, an early start is always welcome. Generally, four to six months before your wedding is a good time to start. Production takes approximately 3-4 weeks, depending on the availability of all items required to make your chosen design.
Can you do Rush Orders?
Yes, if all the items required to make your design are readily available. An extra 10% is added to your order for this service. We consider a rush order to be within 7 working days.
Do I have to order a minimum quantity and what if I require more invitations at a later date?
Because each design is hand made you may order just the amount you require. If you do happen to need more invitations once your order has been completed then just call or email me with the details of the extra invitations required.
What is the difference between PAPER PASSION DESIGN and other wedding stationery providers?
PAPER PASSION is a design studio and not a retail store. My invitations
are hand made to order.
This means they can be made in a large variety
of colours and designs can be inter-changed to suit the client’s
needs.
Retail stores and catalogues that sell mass produced designs cannot
offer this service.
What if I wanted a one-off design made for me that does not appear on your website. Could you do this?
Absolutely, I suggest you telephone or visit me to discuss your requirements and from that discussion a sample will be made for which there is a small charge of £6.50.
Can you explain how the Scroll Invitation, Scroll RSVP and RSVP envelope all fit inside the Postal Tube or Mailing Box.
- The RSVP envelope is rolled up and placed inside the rolled Scroll RSVP.
- These items are then placed inside the rolled Scroll Invitation.
All 3 items are then placed inside a postal tube or mailing box. (See below for additional information)
What if I have maps or hotel details, will these fit in the postal tube or mailing box also?
Yes, these items are rolled and placed inside the RSVP Scroll also. Please print on thin paper so they roll easily and then send them to me and I will enclose them before sealing the mailing boxes.
Can you explain how the invitations in Mailing Boxes are posted?
I use a unique address band that is wrapped around the entire box to
secure it for mailing.
The invitations are returned to you completely
sealed ready for you to mail to your guests.
1 box is left open for you
to check the contents (made easy for you to re-seal).
Can you explain how the Postal Tubes are posted?
These are sealed for mailing with plugs at each end of the tube.
Is there any customer assembly required with your invitations?
Absolutely not. My invitations are returned to you completely finished in their envelopes, postal tubes or sealed in their mailing boxes – all you do is mail them to your guests.
