Frequently asked questions
We recommend ordering a sample to experience the quality first hand. You can request samples on our Sample Page or on the page of your chosen design.
Please note that samples are not personalized, and as they are pre-printed, we may not have an exact colour match for your scheme. However, we will do our best to send the closest shade available.
To keep your planning on track, we suggest ordering your save-the-dates as soon as your date and venue are secured. Invitations, along with any enclosure cards like RSVPs, should ideally be ordered about six months before the wedding. For "on-the-day" items such as menus, programs, or seating charts, aim to place your order around six weeks in advance.
These timelines are what we recommend at Willow and Silk to ensure a smooth process. However, we know that plans can change, and if needed, we may be able to accommodate rush orders, depending on our schedule. Just reach out to discuss before placing a rush order!

Yes,
all of our stationery is professionally printed, which means we follow the minimum order requirements set by our printing partner.
Generally, the minimum order for most items is 20 of each item type. This requirement applies per item, so, for example, 20 would mean 20 day invitations. For larger orders, we may be able to work with our printers to adjust minimums, so please feel free to reach out and ask! Additionally, some on-the-day items don’t have a minimum order requirement.
A standard order usually takes 2 – 3 weeks from order to despatch. This does rely on prompt information and payment from clients.
However, please officially allow 14 working days from proof approval to dispatch.
During our busy times, this may be longer, and out of season this may be less. All orders are produced on a strictly first come first served basis, so orders are better placed sooner rather than later!
If workload allows we may be able to take on rush orders. Please contact us before placing an order.
As you won’t officially know the number of your attending guests when you order everything, you can estimate the ‘on the day stationery’ quantities required. We can alter these nearer the wedding day when you have your definite numbers. Also, when you place your order for everything, you do not need to have all the wording information or guest details etc for the ‘on the day stationery’ . We will request this when we need it.

If an order is cancelled after this time for any reason, as work will have started, any monies paid will not be refunded. Please see a more detailed explanation and any exceptions to this, in our terms and conditions.
Since all orders are personalised, we cannot accept returns.
If your items arrive and do not meet acceptable standards, we will investigate thoroughly and, at our discretion, work with you to find a solution.
