BUDGET
Flat printed invitations are great quality and a great value. Flat printed cards are now available printed on the same wonderful 100% cotton paper stock that we letterpress on!

If you have your heart set on letterpress and are trying to make it fit your budget, consider one of our letterpress packages which bundle together common pieces for great value. Also consider letterpress printing for just your main pieces such as your invitations and rsvps and flat printing for your other pieces such as place cards, menus, programs, etc.

Consider unprinted envelopes instead of printed. White or colored envelopes are just 25 cents each.

Consider foregoing some of the extra details such as envelope liners or place cards.

TEXT
We have dozens of examples of wording from formal and traditional to fun and casual for you to reference as you create your invitations. To view text examples for any piece, click on the "see more text examples" link on the customize page.

Due to differences between computers and web browsers, some text and fonts may not appear perfect in the customizer preview. (Please don't worry, your invitations will not be printed until they look perfect and you approve them.) A Delphine designer will review your order for proper design, spacing and layout. We will email you final pdf proofs for your approval before printing.

If any of your wording will not fit in the alloted space on the customizer, please simply note it in the special instructions block; we will include it on your proofs.

COLORS
Darker colors tend to work better for text.

Don't be afraid to use color! Backgrounds, names, accents, and design elements can be used to get the look and feeling that you want.

Please note that letterpress and digital printing are very different printing methods; colors will appear different when flat printed or letterpressed. Please note that colors can also vary slightly between different press runs (within the same print method), we recommend ordering all of your customized pieces together (invitations, menu, thank you, etc.) whenever possible.

ENVELOPES
Colored envelopes and/or liners can be a great way to introduce color to your invitation suite.

Most other invitation companies don't even offer colored envelopes or only in a couple of colors. Boring!

Outer/inner envelopes are available either printed or unprinted. Pricing is the same as standard envelope sizes. Please note that outer envelopes are available only in white.

Pleas note that letterpress and digital printing are very different printing methods; colors will appear different when flat printed or letterpressed.

PROGRAM COVERS
Delphine offers program covers that you can use to create your own programs.

You can print your program text onto a sheet (or sheets) of text-weight paper which can be folded and inserted into the program cover. The text pages can be attached to the cover any number of ways depending on individual preference and the number of pages: with a few dots of glue at the crease for a single page, it can be stapled saddle-stitch style, hole punched and tied through with a ribbon, or simply tied around the spine of both the cover and inside pages.

SAVING DESIGNS
Create an account to most easily work with, save and review your customized invitations.

To save different versions of the same piece, first move one to your wish list.

You can customize and save any/all pieces of your invitation suite at your convenience but order them only when you are ready. Simply move pieces that you would like to order later to your wish list before proceeding to checkout.
