Here at the Little Paper Pantry, we have done our best to make our ordering process as easy as using a recipe! Our number one priority is pleasing you so if you have a particular budget or timeline in mind, we are happy to help! The best way to begin is by having a browse through our Custom Made page. If there is a design that tickles your fancy simply click on the Enquire Now link. This will take you directly to our Enquiry Form which you need to fill out and simply click send.

If you don’t find a design that you love and want something completely different, you can go directly to the Enquiry Form. Once you’re there, tell us a little about yourself, your personality and your personal style. Even the tiniest details can help us in creating a perfect invite for your special occasion! Some information that you can provide that can get our designer started includes:

• Theme
  
• Colour Scheme
• Favourite flowers
• Venue Location
• Cake decor
• Attire

Once we receive this email, we will respond to you within 1 – 3 working days and will begin the design process.

If you would like us to send you a sample of one of our designs (or the free design we created for you), this can be purchased for $30 (plus $15 postage) per invite. This would be refunded to you as soon as you return it to us after placing an order. Please note that the postage is non-refundable.

If you’re completely happy with your design and your quotation and would like to place your order with the Little Paper Pantry, we require a minimum deposit as indicated on the bottom of your quotation.

After your payment has cleared, we send you out The Perfect Invite Text Pack. This includes a guest list spreadsheet, wording choices, font options and a template that we require you to fill out. Once you've completed the text pack and sent it back to us, we format your invitations. We send you an electronic PDF proof of your invitations in your chosen font and style.  This shows you exactly what we will print and it is then up to you to inform us of any corrections that must be made. We make any changes required and send you back the corrected proof for review. Please keep in mind that we merge the wording you send to us with our design files, so ensure everything is spelt correctly and all punctuation is accurate.

We work in two stages when it comes to bespoke stationery. Stage 1 is when you receive all the items that you need 2-3 months prior to your event such as your invitation cards, rsvps, wishing well cards, couture maps, envelopes and so on.

So when you're completely happy with everything and you’ve sent through your final Approval Form, we require the full payment for Stage 1 and your order will go into production! At this point, no further changes can be made. Production generally takes up to 2 – 4 weeks. Please contact us so we can arrange a pickup time and date. If you require your items to be delivered, please take into account up to 2 weeks for shipping.

The Little Paper Pantry recommends that you order 10 to 15 extra invitations for those unexpected guests that pop up, and also for keepsake purposes. This will be less expensive than reordering extras at a later date.

After that, you will need to contact us 1 month before your wedding and we collect everything we need for Stage 2. That is, all your wording for menus, order of service booklets, place cards and anything else you will need on the day of your event. Once all of that is approved, the full balance for Stage 2 is due and your items will be ready 1- 2 weeks before your event. If you decide to order anything for Stage 2, keep in mind that everything is designed to suit your invitation of course!
