Do you send out samples?
Papillon Designs will provide up to 2 samples at a cost of £1.75 per sample including delivery (with exception to design WE029 “Hepburn” which is £2.00 per sample) to any genuine sample request in the UK only. Overseas clients may request  samples but are required to pay the appropriate postage costs required to send the sample(s) to their chosen overseas address, this is at the discretion of the management. Any further samples required may be ordered upon receipt of specific permission from Papillon Designs. If the client requires a bespoke design, Papillon Designs will issue a quote for the final product based on the client’s chosen design.

All sample requests will be assessed individually and are sent out at the discretion of the management. If there is reason to believe that the sample(s) may be used for purposes other than as a genuine client needing to see a sample(s) prior to ordering, Papillon Designs will decline the sample request(s).

Samples can be paid for online via the secure payment system by PayPal® or alternatively you may pay via post by cheque/postal order. Please click here to see further details regarding sample requests via post.


Can you match my wedding stationery to my chosen colour scheme or theme and personalise them?
Yes we can, if you provide us with a colour sample or give details of the theme you have in mind, we will try to match it a closely as possible. We are very flexible with our designs / colours / schemes so please ask.


Does the price include printed inserts and envelopes?

Yes, prices shown include quality envelopes and printed inserts (where appropriate), but not the printing of guests names, though this is available at an additional cost of 0.20p per invitation as outlined on our order form.


How much wedding stationery should I order?
Generally allow one invitation per couple / family / single person as well as additional invitations for spares for day and evening guests. We can provide extra cards if you run out (charged at standard price and subject to further delivery charges if required after the full order has been dispatched).

Once we have received your order and the 50% payment has cleared our accounts, we will then send out the proof and a proof approval form. Please then send back the proof (amended if necessary) and signed proof approval form and we will then confirm delivery dates etc with you and proceed with making the order.

We would then require the outstanding balance just prior to dispatch. We will send you an invoice in the post nearer the time.

Can I order some of my wedding stationery at a later date?
Yes, some customers initially order the day invitations, evening invitations and RSVP cards first then the remaining items at a later date.

How far in advance should I order my wedding stationery?

This depends entirely on how much wedding stationery and accessories you need to order. We recommend you contact us with your estimated requirements and dates then we can give you an accurate timescale based on what our availability is.
If you require your stationery as a matter of urgency this is not a problem, we have frequently produced orders for clients who have a very short timescale to order their stationery, again we advise that you contact us for our next available production time.

When should I send out my wedding invitations?

It is recommended that wedding invitations should be sent out approximately 6-8 weeks before the wedding. Please note for weddings abroad and in the summer (busy) season, a little more time should be allowed to give your guests as much notice as possible.

Can you help us with the wording for our wedding stationery?
Yes, we can give guidance on the type of wording appropriate to your wedding and this will be sent to you in your order form pack along with lettering styles to choose from if you require this. The wording and lettering style will be shown in your proof prior to production or the order. VIEW WORDING EXAMPLES (pdf file)

Can I amend my order?
We will do our best to accommodate alterations in the order as we do understand that sometimes plans change. If changes are to items that we have already made or printed (i.e. inserts etc.) then charges may occur, but we will try to help as best we can. We do send out proof prints prior to ordering and require that you sign these proof copies and return them with amendments. If there are errors on the proof and we are not informed when you return the signed proofs / proof approval form we cannot be held responsible for these errors. Please view our Terms and Conditions for further details regarding amendments & errors in orders.

What happens if I have to cancel my order?
If in the unfortunate event you have to cancel your order we will try to help as much as we can to come to an amicable agreement. This will depend on how far we have progressed with the order with regards to production and materials purchased to make the wedding stationery. If you have paid the deposit and we have made the stationery ready to send out and are awaiting your final payment then unfortunately we cannot cancel the order at this stage and full payment will still be required.

Any refunds are to our discretion. Please view our Terms and Conditions for further details.

(See our terms and conditions for postage specification). For very lightweight orders we will charge less for postage and deduct this from your final payment accordingly. We will advise you of this at the time of dispatch and final invoice.

If you are local to us, we may be able to arrange to deliver the order ourselves to your chosen address.

For deliveries and to European and international destination - please contact us direct for costs as this will be dependant on your postage address / country etc.
