The Semi-custom Process
1. Order
For semi-custom orders you can order directly on our website. You have the choice: opt for a complete suite or by individual elements. We recommend ordering extras to prevent unforeseen events. Then, add the embellishments of your choice. The selection of designs and colors of embellishments will be collected during the next step of your order. Bespoke invitation process is different. Please refer to the relevant process here.
2. Collection
When your purchase has been made, we will respond to you by email within 2 working days maximum. The email will include the contract to be signed as well as a form to collect the wording and the information needed to prepare the proof (such as colors, designs...).
3. Proofing & Revision
After collecting all the information, we will create the proof with your details and send it to you for revisions. You can expect to receive your realistic proof within 10 days maximum. The semi-custom collection includes three proofs with two rounds of revisions. Each additional revision will incur a fee. See semi-custom FAQs.
4. Production & Delivery
When proofing is officially approved, the production of your order will begin. Impressions will be made, embellishments added and your suite will be sealed. The production time takes approximately four to six weeks depending on the printing methods chosen but also on the type/number of embellishments added. Your order is finally sent directly to your guests or to you if you request it.
