Wedding Stationery FAQs

Q. How do we get the photos to you?

Once you place your order, we will set up a gallery for you on our stationery site where you will be able to upload photos of your guests as you get them. You can pull photos from facebook, instagram or elsewhere online. You can alternatively ask your guests to each send you a selfie by a certain date. You can then upload the selfies to our stationery site as you receive them.  The photos do not have to be high quality but please do bear in mind that the better the photos, the better the caricature will be.

Q. How does payment work? Do I pay the full amount when I place the order?
