- Can I make changes to my text?
Yes, you can make changes right up until we send your order to the printer. One of the benefits of working with Paradise Invitations is that the team are patient and understanding.
- Are there disadvantages of doing my own printing?
Yes. First of all, you need a very good printer at home or a very good local commercial printer. For most customers things have to be perfect, so inconsistent printing or poor quality paper won’t cut it. There can be quite a bit of work finding and instructing a good printer, liaising with them, selecting the right paper, quality controlling their work, agreeing a “one off” price, enforcing deadlines (or priority from all their other work) and then assembling the stationery, which can be quite finicky. But if you are up for that, go for it!
- How long does it take to get a digital file?
Usually just 24 to 48 hours. It might be slightly longer depending upon how many individualised cards there are e.g., personalised invitations.
- How long does it take for printing?
Usually two to four days. It depends upon the quantities, complexity, and type of printing. If you are desperate for “rush printing” let us know – for a small fee we may be able to accelerate these times.
Paper

TEXT
