FAQs
Thank you for your interest in custom invitations and stationery made for you by D&D Designs, Inc. We look forward to working with you to designing your every occasion FABULOUSLY!!!
Please take a moment to read our frequently asked questions. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us.
How long does the design process take?
-
The length of the design process varies depending on the complexity of the custom stationery order. We want you to have your dream stationery package at the end of this journey and we will work with you to accomplish this. Four to six weeks is a good estimate of time required from start to finish for a custom stationery set for your wedding and/or upcoming event. In special circumstances, this time can be shortened. Check out our gallery sample page for an estimated timeline.
Do you have an order minimum?
Do your invitations include inner and outer envelopes?
-
Yes and no. Our basic packages are quoted with Outer Envelopes only; however, if you would like inner envelopes, we can upgrade your package accordingly. You may also choose to upgrade to a custom-lined envelope using a coordinating paper. You can also choose to update to a printed envelope lining as well.
Do you print addresses on the outer envelopes and RSVP envelopes?
-
Yes, we print the return addresses on the back of your outer envelopes and the front of your RSVP envelopes at no additional charge, it is part of our standard package.
-
We also offer computerized calligraphy to assist your addressing of your invitations. We will supply you with an excel spreadsheet for you to complete and will do the rest for you. Please inquire for a reasonable custom quote!
Are extra envelopes included?
What type of samples or proofs will you supply?
-
You will receive a mocked up proof once your design and wording has been finalized and approved. You will receive a complete mocked up package of your wedding stationery, if all the materials are currently available. If there are special-order items, you may only receive a portion of your stationery, or a color swatch for your final approval.
Can I add other items to my package?

Do you offer thermography (raised printing)?
What type of paper do you use?
-
Our paper does fluctuate because each order is custom and each design has different needs. All our white base invitations use a elegant, yet sturdy, 140# paper. The majority of our colored cardstock is from the 65# cover family. Our shimmer paper is typically #110 in weight. We will only use papers that look FABULOUS and will be sensible for your wedding stationery.
Do I have to assemble all my invitations and/or stationery?
-
What?! You are planning an event and you have tons of extra time? No way, you are paying us to make your custom stationery that includes ALL assembly. We know how valuable your time is, that is why we do the hard part for you.
