Frequently Asked Questions

 

 WHAT IS A CUSTOM WEDDING MAP?

Chances are you found us through our distinctive wedding maps and map invitations—but maps aren't just for weddings! They can be designed for any special occasion. As the original creators of custom wedding maps, we've set the standard for these memorable keepsakes. Our custom maps beautifully illustrate a specific area and highlight your event venues or favorite locations, serving as lasting, touchable memories of life’s biggest moments—especially weddings.

Each map is personally designed by Carol, a leader in the industry. She will work closely with you to create a perfect, custom piece tailored to your event. Whether you're enhancing your guests’ experience with a detailed itinerary or showcasing local spots for dining and entertainment, our maps will guide your guests through the celebration, allowing you to focus on enjoying your special day.

Since we specialize in maps, the possibilities are endless—incorporate them into your save-the-dates, invitations, day-of materials, welcome bags, and more!

WHEN SHOULD I ORDER MY CUSTOM MAP OR INVITATION?
It’s best to send your wedding invitations around two months before your wedding. For personalized designs based on previous work, please allow 2-3 weeks for the design and printing process. For custom designs, we recommend allowing 3-4 weeks.

DO YOU OFFER RUSH SERVICES?
Rush orders are available depending on our schedule and may incur additional fees. We recommend giving us as much time as possible to complete your order. Expedited printing and shipping options are also available for an additional fee.

CAN I PRINT ON MY OWN?
Yes, we do offer print-your-own services for select designs. However, we highly recommend using our trusted printers to ensure the best quality for your project.

CAN YOU DO LETTERPRESS OR FOIL PRINTING?
Absolutely! We offer both letterpress and foil printing for custom orders.

DO YOU OFFER CALLIGRAPHY SERVICES?
Yes, we do! Contact us for a quote and to see examples of our work.

CAN THE WORDING BE CUSTOMIZED?
Yes, all wording can be fully customized to fit your preferences.

WHAT ABOUT FONTS?
We have a vast library of fonts, so chances are we have the one you’re looking for. You can browse some of our favorites in our flipbook. If we don’t have your desired font, we can discuss options.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERSONALIZED AND CUSTOM DESIGNS?
Personalized designs are modifications of previous work, tailored to your event. Custom designs are entirely new, unique creations made specifically for you. Custom designs can be anything you imagine!

HOW MANY PROOFS ARE INCLUDED?
We include 3 rounds of proofs after the initial design is sent. This usually covers all changes, but we ask that you carefully review each proof to consolidate any requests. Additional proof rounds are $25 per round.

HOW MANY INVITATIONS SHOULD I ORDER?
To calculate the number of invitations, create your guest list by household, not individuals. A good rule of thumb is to add 15% to your final count for extra invitations. If you’re handing out maps or dropping them off, add 20% to the actual headcount.

CAN YOU ADDRESS ENVELOPES?
Yes, we offer both calligraphy and digital printing for envelope addresses. If you need calligraphy or handwriting services, let us know at the time of order. We can also provide rush services depending on availability.

DO YOU CREATE DAY-OF STATIONERY LIKE MENUS AND PROGRAMS?
Absolutely! We can design and print menus, programs, seating charts, place cards, guest books, door hangers, and much more. We even offer tote bags and other custom items—just ask for details!

CAN YOU ASSEMBLE OUR INVITATION SUITE?
Yes, we offer assembly services for an additional fee, based on the number of invitations and items included in the suite. Contact us for a detailed quote.

CAN YOU MAIL OUR INVITATIONS?
Yes, we offer mailing services, which include envelope addressing, assembly, and postage. We’d be happy to provide a quote for these services.
