It can be difficult to choose your stationery with so many different options available. Ordering a sample is a great way to show you the quality, colours and style so that you can make up your mind. These stunning foil invitations are irresistibly eye catching! Even the simplest design will dazzle with this extra-special gilded finish. 

Generic Sample: A generic sample is to show you the size, quality, style and colour of your chosen invitation. We do not personalise them in any way and you will receive a sample as shown in the images. We do not keep all variations in stock so you will receive the invite as shown plus swatches of your chosen foil & card colour. Please add a note if you’d like to see more than one additional foil/card colour. We’ll dispatch your sample as soon as possible, usually within 1 or 2 working days.

Electronic Sample: Perhaps you’ve had a Generic Sample already and are happy with the quality but would now like to see what your information would look like in your chosen design. Perhaps you need to have the design tweaked? Then this is the option for you! We create electronic proofs of your chosen invitation combination. You can opt for an additional small card and printing on the back at no extra charge. You can make changes to your proofs until you are happy with them. If we don’t hear from you for 10 days, then we will presume that you were happy with the most recent proofs and close the order out. Please note that an electronic sample is not suitable for printing at home. It is purely for you to see what your information will look like in your chosen design. 

Proofs - Please note that all proofs are shown on a white background irrespective of your chosen card type. Please always read any annotations on your proofs with regards to card colour, size and quantity.

Personalised Samples: Due to the high cost of producing small quantities, printed personalised samples are not available.

We don’t currently offer size selection for samples at checkout, but if you’d like to see your sample in a specific size, just leave a note in the box when ordering and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
Our standard foil invitation sizes are:

• A6 – 105 x 148 mm (10.5 x 14.8 cm)

• 5 x 7 inches – 127 x 178 mm (12.7 x 17.8 cm)

• A5 – 148 x 210 mm (14.8 x 21 cm)

If no size is requested, we’ll choose the most appropriate one for the design you’ve selected.

Choose the type of sample you would like to receive. Either include the information for your Electronic Sample with the order or email it to us afterwards at your convenience. There is no need to send any information if ordering a Generic Sample.

Generic Samples are dispatched within 1 or 2 working days. If ordering an Electronic Sample, a member of our design team will create electronic proofs using the information you have supplied, usually within 2 working days. The proofs will be emailed to you. Unlike many companies, we do not limit the number of changes you can make to your proofs within reason. Once you are happy with them, let us know and we will close the order out. If after placing an order you haven’t heard from us after 3 working days, please get in touch.
