*Important Notes on Handmade Paper*

Handmade paper is one of most most popular and loved paper options, but it is important to know the following information about handmade paper before deciding to purchase a handmade paper product:

1. Characteristics of handmade paper:

• Handmade paper is by nature a material that has quite a bit of variance. Each sheet of handmade paper is pulled individually by hand from a vat of pulp which creates inconsistencies in size, shape and weight of each piece. This is part of what makes handmade paper so beautiful and unique! It is and looks like it has been made by hand. We have rigorously vetted more than 20 different brands of handmade paper and the particular brands that we use are the most consistent. 

• The variability of the handmade paper does not only affect the shape and size of each sheet, but it also largely affects the printing process. When letterpress or foil printing on handmade paper, each sheet of paper must be registered by hand. Because the edges are not perfectly straight as a machine manufactured paper would be, this can cause a slight inconsistency in the centering and registration of each piece. Essentially, these small variances are qualities that are innate to printing on handmade paper. 

• The only way to guarantee perfect consistency between each piece would be to choose a non-handmade, straight-edged, traditional paper. 

• We (and so many of our clients) love and choose handmade paper for its totally unique, one-of-a-kind quality that most guests have not seen before, but it is important to be aware of the unique characteristics of handmade paper before choosing it for your wedding paper!

2. Production Time:

• Because handmade paper is made by hand, it generally adds 3 weeks to the production process because the paper must be first ordered, then produced and shipped to the printer. We would be happy to help you work out an estimated timeline with you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us regarding timeline.

Dimensions:

Invitation: Approximately 5x7” (Size varies slightly with handmade paper)

Outer Envelope: 5.25 x 7.25”

Envelope Addressing:

Digital envelope addressing is included with this product, which means that we will print your recipient addresses on the front of your envelope and return address on the back flap. The addresses may be printed in color or in white ink, however, not all envelopes can be printed in white ink and not all envelopes can be printed in color depending on the lightness or darkness of the envelope. We have created a guide for this (to ensure that there will be adequate contrast for mailing) that we will share with you at the beginning of the design process.

Revisions:

Two rounds of revisions to your entire order are included with each invitation suite. Additional revisions beyond those two rounds will incur an additional $50 fee per revision, billed separately before the invitations are sent to production. Please review our collection guide to read more about the revisions process.

Timeline:

After the invitations have been ordered and the new client forms have been completed, the invitations can be delivered to your doorstep in as little as 5 weeks. For invitation suites involving handmade paper, plan for 8 weeks.
