Questions and answers


We hope we've covered everything you might want to know here, but if we have missed anything then we're only an email away.

Do you offer samples?

All of the designs you see on the Studio Belle website have been made uniquely for a couple and their wedding day. If you would like a sample pack then there is a £5 charge plus postage. This will be deducted from your final bill when you place an order. Please contact us for details.

Most companies have templates. Do you have templates?

Erm, no. We will start your wedding invites from scratch and won’t try and squeeze your ideas into a template. That said, if you see something you like on our website we can replicate it for you, and refine it to fit with your wedding style.

How do I order?

Email Studio Belle and we will be in touch for a chat about your requirements. The design process section will give you more information on what you will get and how we will plan out your project for you.

When should I order my invitations?

We recommend you send out your invites 3–4 months before the day of your wedding or civil partnership, and allow a further 3–4 months for design and production. So ideally, you need to place your order 6–8 months before your wedding day. If you are getting married at a particularly busy time of the year, or you have left it a bit late, then we recommend you also send out a save the date card. If you are really short of time then we offer an express service.

How much of everything shall I order?

It's very important to get these figures right! For invites, work from your guest list. Remember you will only need one per couple/family, but its best to add a few extra on to your total to allow for mistakes, that person you might have forgotten, to fill a space if someone can't make it, and of course one to keep as a memento!

We would recommend ordering an extra 5% of your total of invites. For items such as your order of service, we recommend one per couple plus a few extras. We can go through all your items with you to get your figures just right.

I need a full package not just wedding or civil partnership invites

We offer all coordinating items to go with your invites - from the ordinary to the extraordinary! If there is something you have seen in a magazine or online that you would like us to create for you then just let us know.

I need a range of invites for my ceremony, breakfast and evening guests

You can have any mix of invitations within your quantity so there’s no need for separate orders or extra cost. As we make everything by hand we can create exactly what you need.

Does it matter where I live?

Of course not! We can work with our clients online and on the phone. We appreciate how stressful wedding or civil partnership plans can be and how busy couples get, so this method suits most couples with a hectic schedule.

Do I get envelopes with my order?

Yes! All invites are supplied with either coordinating or contrasting envelopes. The choice is up to you. We will provide you with a full quote after your consultation which will include all the extras like envelopes.

Do you charge extra for delivery?

All quotations will list everything necessary for your order—that includes things like delivery—so you know exactly how much to budget for, with no surprises.

What materials do you use?

All our invites are handcrafted using the highest quality inkjet printing. We select the card and paper that is right for your job, along with any envelopes, ribbon and accesories to match. We use recycled paper and card wherever possible. If there is a particular type of paper or material you want to use then please let us know.

I’ve left it a bit late! Can you still help?

Yes of course! If you use our express service your job will go straight to the top of the pile. Contact us to get a price for this express service.

Can you help me with my wording?

Yes! If you are stuck with your wording we can help you out with some ideas to match your chosen style and level of formality.

I just don’t know where to start with my invites!

Don’t worry; you couldn’t be in better hands when it comes to winning ideas and inspiration to get you started. Just get in touch.

I know exactly what I want. Can you still help?

Certainly. You may even have gone as far as sketching it out or mocking it up. Just send us over your ideas or sketches and we will use that as the basis for our designs; transforming your ideas into a reality. The Studio Belle Sampler Kit™ is perfect for this!

I’m on a very tight budget, what are my options?

You might like to consider moving your wedding or civil partnership invites online. This way you get beautifully designed invites without the cost of printing & postage. See our digital section for more info. Alternatively; tell us how much you have to spend, and we can work out the best way to stretch your budget without compromising on a beautiful design.

Do you have any offers or discounts?

You can build your own package from our price list. Order 8 or more different items you can save yourself 10%.

What if I need to cancel?

You can cancel your order up to when production begins. However, once materials have been ordered and production has commenced, you are not entitled to a refund. If production has not begun, then you are entitled to a refund of your balance, less your deposit.
