Why order a free wedding invitation samples?

Your wedding day is the best day of your life, and you deserve perfection. Ordering samples allows you to see exactly what your free wedding invitation samples will look like. Pictures alone can be misleading, whereas holding one of your invitations in your hands means there’ll be no surprises when you order the final batch. We do our best to show you the closest version of the real thing online, but the texture, colour and finish are clearest in person. There’s nothing quite like holding it in your hands.

Each sample is fully personalised, not the generic ones most other companies provide, so you’ll see the exact layout and look the final version will have. Ribbons, bows, embellishments and specific design features can all be added to your sample too. Whether you want something glittery and sparkly or pretty and floral – we can do it all!

Our invitations are the highest quality available; so, we want our service to match. Before you order a sample, we’ll chat with you to ensure the free sample we send is as close to perfect as possible. This also makes it easier for you to get in touch again if you want further changes.

Unlike some companies, we usually charge for our samples. This is because we offer a bespoke service with more customisation options, and our samples are made of the same materials as the final product. Many companies cheap out on their samples, something we’d never do! Our stationery is of the highest quality: buckles, bows, diamantes and double satin ribbons – at I Do Designs we never cut corners.

What if my sample isn’t quite right?

With a selection as wide as ours, the choice isn’t easy. If the sample you order isn’t right, you can get in touch with us, and we’ll work together to make any necessary changes and perfect the design you want. If your idea isn’t on our site, we can help you bring it to life. You can also request colour and embellishment swatches or view our font table to help your imagination. If you’re still unsure, you can read our case studies about the brides we’ve helped in the past.

“We’ll work together to find exactly the style you want.”

If you have multiple ideas in mind, you can order multiple samples to compare them. However, any extras cost £5 each.

When should you order a Sample?

Most couples contact us around 12-18 months before their wedding day.  Sometimes later .. sometimes earlier.  It depends on how excited you are!

We can usually turn most orders around within 3-4 weeks, but the more time we have the better. Colour matching and finalising the design can sometimes be the longest part of the process; so give yourself time to really consider your sample and make any adjustments or changes you wish before placing an order.

All we ask is that you have a venue booked and your colour scheme and theme sorted.  However, we totally understand how exciting wedding planning can be, so if you think you’re a bit too early contact us and we can discuss options and ideas.

Is it easy to order a Sample?

We have made it really easy to order a free wedding invitation sample of any of our designs.  Simply find your favourite design by browsing our wedding invitation gallery, click the enquiry button on the product page and fill out the form.  Upon receipt of your enquiry we will contact you via email to discuss your choice and for you to confirm your colour scheme and any other information you would like to include. Don’t worry if you don’t have these details finalised, we can add some generic information, just so you can see what the layout will look like.

If you cannot see a design that you like, or you have some specific ideas in mind we do offer a bespoke design service. Please feel free to get in touch to discuss your ideas and options. We will work with you to create your perfect invitation.
