What are "David's Bridal Exclusives"? "David's Bridal Exclusive" invitations are specially designed to coordinate with our color palette and they cannot be found elsewhere. Exclusives may also mean that the style has been designed, manufactured, or sold only by David's Bridal. BACK TO TOP Can I save my personalized invitation so I can come back and finish later? Yes. You can save your work at any time during the Personalization process by clicking on the Summary page and then clicking Add to Bag. Your invitations will remain in your Shopping Bag for 30 days. Please note that your Shopping Bag will only be accessible via the computer you used to create it, and will be cleared if you delete your browser cookies. If you would like a unique number that will allow you to retrieve your invitations from any computer, scroll to the bottom of your Shopping Bag and request a Saved Invitation. BACK TO TOP How do I know what colors are available for each invitation? We offer endless ways to create the perfect invitations to match your special day. While browsing our invitations, look for the "More Colors Available" icon and click for details. On the style detail page you can select and preview the paper and accent colors using the color boxes or drop-down menu, where you can also choose the quantity for each coordinating component. Click "Personalize" to create your unique invitations by choosing your wording (and don't worry, we can help!), font colors and styles, envelope liners, monograms or motifs and more. BACK TO TOP What is flat (or digital) printing? Modern printing methods create invitations that print the ink flat on the surface of the stationery. This technique enables an expanded range of unique and colorful designs. The digital nature of flat printing allows each component to be previewed and proofed online, then sent directly to the press using electronic files such as PDFs. BACK TO TOP How do I "proof" my invitation online? At the end of each step, click Preview to see a sample of how your invitation will look. Remember to check spelling and text alignment (left and right, as well as top to bottom). The Summary page offers a review of the information for each invitation component you've selected. If you want to change anything, simply click "edit". Please note that color representation may vary by individual computer monitors so if color matching is an important concern, we recommend ordering a sample prior to placing your order. If you have chosen a flat or digital invitation, you will be asked to Preview each component and approve the final proof before Checkout. Please review carefully and note that what you see on the final proof is exactly how it will print. It's a good idea to ask somebody you trust to double-check everything for you before placing your order. If you have selected a raised print or thermography invitation, we recommend ordering an email PDF that allows you to review and approve the actual layout before we create your order. This option is a great value, as a professional typesetter will make adjustments, if necessary, to the sizing, spacing and layout to better fit the invitation. The typesetter will also make any changes you request when possible. BACK TO TOP What is a Multi-Purpose Card? As the name suggests, these cards have a variety of potential uses such as accommodation information, directions or transportation logistics. This card is especially helpful if your ceremony and reception are at different locations. Visit our Invitations Glossary for more details. BACK TO TOP How long have you been in business? David's Bridal has been making dreams come true for millions of brides for over 50 years. We have sold more wedding gowns than any other bridal store in the US. We have been offering Wedding Invitations online since 2003. BACK TO TOP May I place my order by phone rather than online, or can you help me with questions?

Please call 1-800-517-1820 for assistance. Our call center hours are Mon-Thu 8:30am - 9:00pm, Fri 8:30am - 8:00pm and Sat-Sun 11:00am - 4:00pm (Eastern Time Zone).

We have an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) connection to wherever we ask you for personal information as name, address, credit card number, etc. SSL is fully supported by Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. BACK TO TOP How long will it take to get my order? Do you offer Rush delivery? On the product information page for each item, we have included the approximate processing time it takes for that specific product, in addition to the delivery time. If you order more than one invitation item, your entire order will ship together. If you are concerned that your order will not arrive in time for your wedding, please contact us before you place the order and we will work with you personally to arrange rush printing and delivery whenever possible. BACK TO TOP Will you send me a tracking number for my order? Yes, when your order is shipped, you will receive a tracking number via email. BACK TO TOP Do you ship invitations outside the United States? At the present time we can ship invitations to addresses in the 50 U.S. states only. BACK TO TOP What is your return policy? Personalized items, including stationery, cannot be returned. If you have any doubts about the style, or would like to see the paper quality and color, we recommend ordering invitation samples. Before confirming your personalized order, please be sure to proof each component carefully. Of course we will replace your order if we made an error or if damage occurs during shipping. You will need to obtain a Return Authorization (RA) Number for any returns. Please see our Return Policy for details. BACK TO TOP What type of assembly is required and how will I know how to put it together? Some invitations will require some assembly on your part. Each order will be delivered with a fully assembled sample and a detailed assembly guide to show you the order of the inserts and enclosures. Please note that most invitations with bows will be shipped with the ribbons flat, but one tied example will be included as a guide. Rest assured that the beautiful result of individually tied bows is worth the effort! BACK TO TOP How do I determine the date for RSVPs on the Response Card? It's a good idea to start with the date your caterer needs the final count for your reception, then add a couple days to give yourself time to organize and confirm. As a general rule, ask for responses 2-3 weeks before the wedding date to allow ample planning and preparation time. Remember to print the mailing address on the Response Card or RSVP envelopes and include a stamp to make it easy for your guests. BACK TO TOP What is the best way to budget for postage? Almost all wedding invitations require more than a standard postage stamp. This is due to the substantial weight of paper stock used to design quality stationery. In addition, the ensemble will likely include multiple enclosures and certain shapes (e.g. square) require additional postage. Take a sample invitation and all enclosures to the Post Office to determine the correct postage. And don't forget to budget for the postage stamp that is customarily included on the RSVP to make it easier for your guests to reply. BACK TO TOP Is it OK to use printed labels for wedding invitation envelopes? Your wedding is a special celebration and your guests should feel special too. To add a personal touch, invitation envelopes are typically addressed by hand (the exception is that the return address is printed on the envelope during the order process). If you do not plan to hire a calligrapher and there are too many invitations for a DIY project (or you're worried about your handwriting), invite a group of friends and make a fun night of it! You'll be amazed how quickly it will go when you have some extra hands to help. BACK TO TOP Do I have to use inner and outer envelopes? Some modern invitation styles feature a single (outer) envelope only. The more traditional or formal wedding invitations include inner and outer envelopes. For these classic style invitations, we include plain inner envelopes free of charge. The addition of a colorful envelope lining creates an extra level of personalization and helps tie together your color theme. Check to see if your chosen design has the option to order color-coordinating inner envelopes (liners). BACK TO TOP |
