Wedding Stationery Questions, Answered
Planning wedding stationery can raise lots of questions, particularly if you have never ordered professionally designed stationery before. Here are the answers to the questions couples ask most often.
What is the difference between bespoke and a House Collection?
Bespoke stationery is designed completely from scratch around your wedding. A House Collection begins with an existing Bellapeach signature design, which is then personalised with your wording and the options available for that suite. Bespoke offers greater creative freedom; House Collections offer a simpler journey and a lower starting investment.
When should we order our wedding invitations?
Ideally, begin the conversation around 12 to 9 months before your wedding. This allows time for choosing your design, preparing wording, proofing, printing and posting. Bespoke projects and handmade finishing details may require longer.
How many invitations do we need?
Count households, couples and individual guests receiving their own invitation, not the total number of wedding guests. Add a small number of spares for late additions, keepsakes or postal problems. I can help you review your estimated quantity before quoting.
Can our day and evening invitations have different information?
Yes. Wording, timings, RSVP details and information cards can be adapted for different groups of guests. This is particularly useful for pocketfolds, gatefolds and invitation bundles containing tailored inserts.
Can you help with our wording?
Yes. I can provide guidance and examples for traditional, modern, informal, hosted, divorced-parent and multi-event invitations. You remain responsible for confirming that all final information is correct.
Do we receive a proof before printing?
Yes. You will receive digital proofs and nothing will be printed until you have provided written approval. Please check every name, date, time, address, phone number, web address and piece of punctuation carefully.
Are revisions included?
Your quote includes up to two rounds of reasonable revisions. Further changes or a change of creative direction may be charged separately.
Can you print guest names on invitations?
Yes. Guest-name personalisation is available for many invitation styles. Names must be supplied in the requested spreadsheet format by the agreed deadline.
Can you create stationery for several wedding events?
Yes. I can organise and design information for multi-day and multicultural celebrations, including events such as a Mehndi, Sangeet, Jago, Haldi, Choora ceremony and wedding reception. We can tailor inserts for different guest groups where required.
Can we order on-the-day stationery if our invitations came from elsewhere?
Yes. I can create a complementary design using your wedding colours, flowers, venue and overall styling. I cannot copy another designer’s original artwork, fonts or layout, but I can create something that sits naturally alongside it.
Do you provide samples?
House Collection samples can be ordered from £10.00 each. Bespoke samples are normally created after the design has been agreed and may carry an additional production cost.
Can we see the paper and colour choices?
Available papers and colours will be discussed as part of your order. Physical samples may be available where colour or texture needs to be seen before making a final decision.
Do you offer digital invitations?
We offer digital invitations that can be adapted for email or messaging. Digital files are supplied for personal use and may not be altered or resold.
Is there a minimum order?
The minimum order quantity for invitations is 30.
How long does production take?
Timescales vary according to the service, quantity and finishing details. You will receive an estimated schedule with your quote. Production begins only after final written approval. Printing is complete once the final invoice is paid.
Do you deliver across the UK?
Yes. Bellapeach is based in Cheltenham and works with couples across the UK. Orders can be securely delivered or collected by arrangement. Larger and fragile signs may require collection or a specialist delivery quote.
What happens if our guest list changes after approval?
Contact me as soon as possible. If printing has not begun, the file may be updated subject to the agreed revision terms. If production is under way or complete, replacement items and delivery will be charged separately.
How do we book?
Complete the enquiry form with your wedding date, venue, approximate quantities and preferred service. Your booking is confirmed once the required payment and information have been received.
