Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Thank you for your interest in custom invitations and stationery from Little Details. We look forward to working with you for your special event. Please take a moment to read our frequently asked questions. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us.

How far in advance should I order my wedding invitations?
We recommend starting your wedding invitation search 4-6 months before your wedding date. That way you’ll have about 1 month to shop around for the perfect invitation for your wedding; 2-3 months for your wedding invitations to be made; and 2 months advance to send out your wedding invitations.

How far in advance should I mail out my wedding invitations?
Wedding invitations are generally mailed 6-8 weeks before your wedding date. Couples who are having a destination wedding or who will haveg a lot of out-of-town guests usually send out their invitations 8 weeks before the big day. Couples, who have given guests plenty of heads-up on the wedding date, or those having an informal or small affair should have no problems mailing invites 6 weeks before the date.

How long does it take for me to receive my invitations?
From the time you sign off on the proof untill the time you have your invitations in your hands, takes about 3- 8 weeks depending upon your design. Please add on time for shipping. UPS shipping takes 5-7 business days.

How many extra invitations should I order?
After you’ve come up with the total number of invitations you’ll need, we advise ordering about 10% extra invitations. Obviously, if you’re only inviting 25 guests, then this number will be less. You’ll want to make sure you have extra invitations in case there are any last minute guests you decide to invite to the wedding, and that you have keepsakes for you and any family members that request them.

Is there a minimum order?
There is no minimum order for wedding invitations in the modern or classic collections. For the TeeLeeStudio collection the minimum order is 25 and for the Prestigious Collection the minimum order is 50 due to the nature of the designs.

Do you do rush orders?
We are usually able to accommodate rush orders (orders that need to be completed in less than 4 weeks) for a nominal fee. Please email us if you are in need of a rush order and we will let you know if we will be able to complete your order.

What type of samples or proofs will you supply?
When you place your order you’ll receive as many rounds of online mockups as necessary until you’re satisfied and give final approval before printing. If you need further clarification please email us.

How do you ship wedding orders?
We ship via UPS Ground. Once shipped, invitations normally take 5-7 business days to arrive to you.

Do you offer engraving, letterpress, or thermography?
We currently print our invitations with offset lithography, digital and laser only. We can do special orders of engraving or thermograpy at an additional cost.

Do you have a printed catalog?
Because we are constantly updating our designs we do not have a printed catalog. Our website acts as our catalog as it’s the quickest way for us to let couples know about new invitations and products we’ve come up with. If you book a complimentary consultation, we have sample books in our studio for you to review

Do I need inner envelopes and do you sell them?
At this time we do not offer inner envelopes. Inner envelopes are an extra cost that most couples don’t mind eliminating. We like to think of our invitations don’t need 2 envelopes to make them special, because they already are special.

What if I want to change something such as wording, color or font choice after I receive my sample?
Changes can be made during the review process. However, once you have given final approval and your design has gone to print, it is more difficult to make changes and additional fees will apply.

Can I add other elements to my package?
Yes, Little Details will create any items to coordinate with your package including the following:

• Save-the-Date Cards
• Reception Cards
• Maps
• Shower and Rehearsal Dinner Invitations
• Ceremony Program
• Seating Charts
• Place cards
• Menus
• Thank-you Cards
• and more…

Do I have to tie all the bows and assemble everything myself?
We take care of all of those details for you! Your invitations come to you fully-assembled and if you want we'll even apply the stamps for you. Then you just need to take a trip to the post office to send them on their way. Ensembles which are only flat cards, do not require assembly and will be packaged in stacks.

How do I pay for my order?
Once you decide to use Little Details to create your design, we require a 50% non-refundable deposit of your quoted price and a signed contract. Once the deposit and contract are received the layout of your custom design begins.

The remainder of your balance is due once you have given your final approvals on all pieces of your package, color, fonts, etc. Printing and production will only commence once your balance is paid-in-full and you have signed off on the final “digital” proof.

Little Details accepts cash in CND Funds, cheques, or money orders. Please advise us of your payment method in advance.

Does the invitation price include postage?
No, you are responsible for all postage costs including delivery charges, but we will gladly purchase stamps for you and affix them to your envelopes for an additional charge.

If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us.

Little Details looks forward to working with you for your special event.
