Our Ready-to-Wear Stationery

To order our Ready-to-Wear stationery,  please select  your favourite design in our ONLINE-BOUTIQUE and email us your design choice and quantity you wish to order to harperlittle@yahoo.co.uk. After we receive your final order email, we will send you a PAYPAL invoice where you can purchase and pay online. 

If you would prefer to see a sample before committing fully, you can purchase just one card to ensure it meets your every expectation.  All the additional orders will be typeset and a PDF proof sent to you via email for your approval. We will start to print and make your order once approval and payment received (either by Paypal or by cheque). 

Orders will take 4-6 weeks to complete, with some designs requiring longer lead times. Since most invitations are sent 3 months before the even, we suggest that you contact us regarding your invitations at least 4 months before your event. For rush orders, please contact us, this is available at an additional charge.

Our Haute Couture Stationery

Our Haute Couture Stationery is a full service custom stationery design focusing on luxury correspondence. We will work with you to explore your vision and review every detail to design an invitation, save the date, program, thank you card and other stationery that reflects your individuality. We are passionate about making your dream a reality. 

We have a minimum of a 12 weeks design and production process, with many designs requiring longer lead times. Since most invitations are sent 3 months before the even, we suggest that you contact us regarding your invitations at least 6 months before your event. Because our invitation designs are highly customized, pricing is individual and our minimum order size is £800.00. If you would like to begin working on our Haute Couture service, a £120.00 non-refundable design fee would apply.

How We Work

Communications:-

Style - Tell us about the design you have in mind, specific words that describe your style, your vision for your wedding or event, dominant colours you are considering, and any other details about you that we might find helpful in designing your perfect invitation.

Wording - Please e-mail us the wording for each piece of stationery you would like to order, including the wording for the response cards. On the response card, please remember to include a response date, and any menu choices your guests will need to make in advance. 

For wording etiquette and options, visit our WORDING page or review the samples you have purchased from us.

Quantity – Tell us the quantity of the invitations you will order and the total gusts you are expecting to attend your event.  

Designing and Sampling:-

After we receive your design fee, we will design your stationery and two design choices will be presented to you by email or by post with a formal price quote..

Changes will be made to your chosen design based on the feedback you provide. Final design sample will be sent to you.

Final Approval and Proofreading:-

When your designs are final, review them carefully, note any changes clearly, and sign off before faxing the proofs back to us.

*Please PROOFREAD CAREFULLY. Harper-Little Paper Crafts is not responsible for  types or mistakes once you sign off with your approval to print, and will not incur the costs of reprinting orders, nor will we refund your deposit or final payment. Your signature on a proof indicates to us that you have approved all artwork, text, illustrations and colours, and we may therefore proceed with printing.

Production Schedule:-

After you send back your approval for the final sample, a 50% deposit will be required to initiate the production process. The balance will be due two weeks before the delivery of all pieces outlined in your invoice.

We will then provide you with your production schedule.

Producing:-

When we receive your deposit and your returned proofs with your approval signature, paper and other material will be ordered and computer files will be sent to the printer to begin producing of your order. It generally takes 6 to 8 weeks. For rush orders, please contact us, this is available at an additional charge.

Packaging and delivery:-

Local orders will be collected free of charge. 

For on-line and postal orders, standard goods are sent at a cost of £6.00 per dispatch. If you require rush shipping, please let us know, this is available at an additional charge.  We will contact you beforehand to arrange a suitable delivery day.

We pack invitations with great care and detail and we have never encountered damages due to shipping or packing.
