Quality

We are very proud to be known for ourĀ outstanding quality and we would like to offer you the best service we can. As all of our stationery is handmade there will be slight variations in each order. Whilst we will make every effort to supply your order exactly as sampled, we may have to substitute materials (colours of ribbons or insert paper) from time to time. If such circumstance shall occur you will be contacted immediately and advised about alternations and available options.Ā 

Repeats and reprints

We always recommend ordering slightly larger amount of invitations than needed to allow for mistakes when printing invitations, or for guests you may have overlooked. Cartalia will be happy to print extra invitations for you if you run short, however there is a 50 unit minimum so it is better to ensure that enough invitations are ordered at the outset, as prices may increase after the initial order.Ā
