Unfortunately we cannot provide you with free samples of our luxury couture invitations and custom announcements. All our designs are made by hand and each sample is intricate and uses unique papers and printing techniques. Since we are a private studio and not a store, we do not stock papers or materials for each invitation. Each sample is made to order. The sample fees cover the expense of the materials involved, printing and construction. If certain colors or papers are not immediately available, we will make a sample using available materials. Please allow 2-3 weeks to receive your samples.
Sample prices are not indicative of the actual price of a particular invitation or announcement. Actual prices generally will be quite a bit less per piece when ordered in quantities. Samples are not returnable. However, if you do end up placing your order with us, the sample price will be deducted from your final total.
order process & pricing info
Request a quote providing details and any customization requests regarding the invitation you are interested in. After all information is complete, you will receive an official quote. Once you place your invitation order and we receive your deposit, we will then send you proofs based on the information/wording you provide. All proofs must be signed off by you (via email or fax) for the printing process to begin. Orders ideally should be placed 4-6 weeks in advance of the delivery date to you. Special charges may apply to rush orders.
Each couture invitation is unique and the price depends on the intricacy of the design, paper, artwork, embellishments and quantity.
