Some Things You might like to Know…

HOW & WHAT TO ORDER
This is completely up to you!
We will tailor our work around what you would LOVE for your wedding…
Most couples start with their WEDDING INVITATION and build from there.
(the process of how we work can be found in more detail in the PROCESS section of our website )

PACKAGES
We LOVE creating you Stationery you can’t wait to share with your lovely wedding guests. Stationery which will be so memorable and reflect your LOVE from start to finish of your entire wedding day. We therefore offer packages which include any of the following…
SAVE THE DATES, DAY INVITATIONS, EVENING INVITATIONS, RSVP’s, DIRECTIONS, MAPS, INFORMATION CARDS, ORDER OF SERVICE’s, PLACE CARDS, TABLE PLANS, FAVOURS, THANK YOU’s…
and maybe many more wonderful things we’ve not even dreamt up yet!

PRICING
Each order we work on is as unique as the couple themselves and this is also true of the pricing. So much time and detail goes into creating each custom order and we absolutely LOVE using the best materials and print processes for YOU.
However, we are also aware that this can take a toll on your purses, so we offer a variety of options and packages which try to work within a variety of budgets whenever possible.
Please don’t hesitate to CONTACT US no matter what your budget is, and we will always try our very best to come up with a package which will just make your heart (and purse) smile!
Before you contact us here is our Price Guide!

PAYMENT
A 30% deposit is required when we begin your stationery design.
Full payment is required after you have approved the final proofs, just before we G O T O P R I N T .
Cheque or bank transfer is preferred… hopefully soon we may also be able to accept online payments but for now- the good old fashioned ways work a treat!

DELIVERY
Your stationery will normally be ready to be posted out to you all prettily packaged by recorded delivery, 1-2 weeks from when we have confirmed the final proofs.
Delivery prices shall be calculated accordingly to the weight of the order.
If you happen to be lucky enough to live in Glasgow, feel free to pop by the studio to collect them yourself. We would love that and may even throw in a cup of tea when you get here too!

THE INVITATION ETIQUETTE
Etiquette tells us that Invitations are typically sent out 6-8 weeks before the date of the wedding.
Save the Date’s, which are becoming increasingly popular, can be sent anywhere up to a year in advance.
It’s really up to you though. If your friends and family have full diaries we’d suggest the earlier the better! This also allows your guests to book any travel/ accommodation early if necessary.

HOW MANY SHOULD I ORDER?
Invitation numbers vary greatly depending on your guestlist- but a general rule of thumb is that you will not need as many Invites as you have guests- as many will be invited as couples/ families etc. (many people forget this in the excitement of planning everything!)
It is always good to order a few more that you would expect as it is amazing how many extra guests you will think of/ be asked to invite as your big day draws closer. It’s also good to have a few spare incase of any mistakes/ accidents which could happen and for you and family to hold onto as keepsakes.
We’d suggest you work through your guestlist- figuring out how many you think you may need- and then add a minimum of 10 extra and you should be good to go. Reprinting is pricey (as it’s the setup of the job which is the costly bit) so it’s better to be safe than sorry and have a few spares just incase.

ORDERING SAMPLES
If you see something on our website which you like the look of and would like a closer inspection, we can certainly arrange for samples to be sent to you.
Samples will be charged at £5 to cover postage costs, but will be fully redeemable against your order if you choose to go ahead and order your stationery from us.

WHAT SHOULD I CHECK ON MY PROOFS?
Is everything spelled correctly?
Is all of the punctuation correct?
Are all the fonts correct?
Is the text spaced properly?
Check all dates, names, titles, addresses, email/ web addresses, telephone numbers and make sure you have included all of the information your guests will need.
Check that there are no incorrect abbreviations.
Please note: Once you have given final proof approval, you bear final responsibility for the design and typographical elements of your invitations.
E.Y.I.LOVE cannot bear the costs of reprinting and delivery of orders due to any errors you have approved.

CAN I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO COME TO THE STUDIO?
Absolutely, of course!!
We love meeting up with the couples we work with, so, if you are within travelling distance please do come and see us.
We generally try and stick within a fairly 9-5(ish) routine, although we understand this is often the working routine of many of our couples too. We therefore dedicate Thursday evenings for customer appointments, where evening appointments are more suitable.
