FAQ
Below is a list of our most Frequently Asked Questions. If you have additional questions, please e-mail them to info@howinvitingltd.com.A: No, currently How Inviting! is not a mail-order business. We will work with you to set up a complimentary consultation to begin discussing the details of your event. You may request an appointment by e-mailing appointments@howinvitingltd.com or by calling 614-557-4826. You may also submit a request by filling out the required information on the Contact Us tab.
A: We encourage you to set an appointment and place your order as far in advance as possible. Typically, wedding invitation orders should be placed at least 4-6 months before the event. Please allow a minimum of two months for the completion of an order from 50-200 invitations. A turnaround time of 3 months is required for orders of more than 200 invitations. Orders placed after the minimum time requirement will be subject to a 20% rush fee.
A: You will need one invitation for each couple, family, or individual that you plan to invite. We recommend that you order at least 10% more than your total count. This allows for anyone you may have forgotten or anyone on your "B" list. There is no minimum order, we can make as many or as few invitations as you need. Likewise, we do not require you to order in multiples of 25 or 50.
A: Each household that you invite should receive one invitation. The exception to this rule is for any adult children still living at home. They should receive their own invitation. For unmarried couples, the invitation should be addressed to both individuals. Single friends or family members should receive one invitation addressed to that individual and a guest.
A: You'll need one place card per guest or couple, depending on how you want to arrange your seating. We recommend that you order 20-25 extra in case you need to make changes.
Q: How many wedding programs will I need? A: Wedding programs are most often passed out by ushers seating guests, but can also be placed in baskets or other containers at the entrance of the ceremony location or on the pews or chairs. One program can be given out per couple or individual. In either case, be clear about how to distribute programs with whoever is passing them out. We recommend that you order 25 extra for guests as well as a program for each person in the bridal party to keep.
Q: Will I get a sample or proof of the product(s) before my entire order is printed?
A: Absolutely! We will provide you with a proof of your item(s) prior to mass printing. The first proof for each item is free. Any additional samples requested will cost $2.00. This will give you the opportunity to verify design, paper & ink color, spelling, etc. We will not begin printing the entire order until the proof(s) have been signed off on. If any changes have been requested, we will gladly create an additional proof to reflect these changes. Any errors found after the proof has been approved will be the responsibility of the client.
Q: Do I need to pay for everything up front?
A: No, a non-refundable 50% deposit is required upon ordering. We will not begin printing the order until the deposit has been received. The deposit will be applied to the order total. The remaining balance will be due at the time of final pick-up. All orders will be subject to the Ohio sales tax of 6.75%.
Q: What methods of payment do you accept? A: We currently accept cash, check and online bill-pay. A $30 fee will be asessed upon the return of a personal check. This fee will be added to your final balance. We are hoping to be able to accept credit and debit cards in the near future.
