Linen envelopes measuring 5.5" x 8.125" are included with wedding invitation orders. Either white or ivory envelopes may be selected. An optional outer envelope that measures 5.75" x 8.75" may be purchased if you prefer a traditional double envelope.

Do I need a special kind of pen to address my wedding invitations?
No. Our envelopes are made with porous paper and will accept fountain, calligraphy, ball point, roller ball, gel ink or any other pen of your choice. However, we do recommend that you test your pen first as some may bleed through or require longer drying time.

These mailing weights include all pieces of the invitation package (carrier card, invitation, vellum, RSVP card, enclosure card and return address seal). Including your own additional inserts may increase the postal rate. Check with your post office for the exact weight.

How many invitations should I order?
You'll need one invitation for each couple, family or individual that you invite. We recommend that you order 25 more than you think you need. This allows for anyone that you may have forgotten. It is much less expensive to order extras now, instead of placing a second order later.

What is the minimum number I can order?
The minimum number of invitation packages, reception packages and notepads that can be ordered is 25.

Do I have to order all pieces of the invitation package?
Please call 800.788.0611 to discuss this with one of our Invitation Consultants.

How many place cards should I order?
You'll need one place card per guest or couple, depending on how you want to arrange your seating. We recommend that you order 25 extra in case you need to make changes.

How many table numbers are included in a reception package?
This is determined by the quantity of reception packages that you order (carrier card, invitation, vellum, RSVP card, enclosure card, return address seal). We will provide enough table numbers for tables of 8 or more guests. For example, if you order a reception package for 75 guests you will receive table numbers 1 through 16. See the chart below for details. If you need more numbers than this, please contact us before approving your proof.

Quantity 25-50 75-100 125-175 200-275 300-375 400-475 500
Table Numbers 1-8 1-16 1-24 1-32 1-40 1-56 1-64

Can I change the font on designs I see on the website?
Yes. Fonts can be changed at no additional charge. Click to download a pdf of our available fonts. You can substitute one font for wording (we recommend a serif or sans serif font) and one font for names (we recommend a script font). If you want only one font, it will be larger for the names than for the wording and we recommend NOT using a script font in this case.

Can I change the color of designs I see on the website?
Generally, yes, colors can be changed at no additional charge. To ensure that colors reproduce as expected we have printed color palettes for both magnetic and linen invitations. This eliminates the variation in color which is possible on computer monitors. To request a color palette please call 800.788.0611 or request a sample packet. The only exception is the Artist Series. Due to their hand-crafted nature, the colors on those invitations cannot be changed.

Can I choose a color that is not on the palette?
Our color palette includes a wide range of options, representing today's most popular wedding colors. If you want to use a custom color not shown on our palette, you must provide the CMYK values (e.g. 42/77/24/8). We cannot guarantee these colors as they have not been tested on our printers. To confirm the printed colors, we can design and produce a complete invitation and reception package proof in your custom colors for a $100 charge (Enter Promotional Code: PROOF into your order). If you don't order a printed proof for your custom colors, we cannot be held responsible for the color output. Please sign and submit this color release form along with your order.

Are all of the products printed in full color?
Yes. The only exception is the reverse side of the RSVP card and enclosure card in the invitation package, which have only black print. The front of these cards is full color.

Can I include a map on the enclosure card in my wedding invitation package?
We recommend that you give written directions to your ceremony and reception. Include the full address of the site(s) so that your guests can use an online map service to get customized directions. If you want a map on your enclosure card, you must provide a high-resolution file (300 dpi or higher at the desired printing size). See our graphic standards for acceptable file formats. Maps from online services are not usable because of the low resolution of the file. We cannot create map artwork for you.

Can I order an invitation that matches a Save the Date magnet I see on your website?
Yes. Please call 800.788.0611 to discuss this with one of our Invitation Consultants. You will need to allow 3 additional weeks for design and product testing before design will be shown on the website. At that point, you can request a sample, which you'll receive about four weeks after the original request.

Can your designers create a custom design for me?
At the rates listed below, our graphic designers will create a new custom design for your invitation or reception package.

Please refer to our graphic standards for specifications and acceptable submission formats. To check for color accuracy, we recommend you request a press proof for an additional charge of $50. If your artwork has not been prepared according to our graphic standards, we reserve the right to charge a "Design-Your-Own" setup fee. You will be notified before this charge is made. Please note that our MagnetStreet.com trademark may be added to your design if your print-ready artwork closely replicates one of our original designs. The trademark will appear on your emailed proof.

How should I submit my personal photo?
You can either send your photo via our website or mail your photo to:
MagnetStreet Weddings * 4325 Pheasant Ridge Drive NE, Suite 602 * Blaine, MN 55449. Please specify your submission method on your paper order form or your online order.

We recommend mailing an original photo to our office (from a film camera, not a printout of a digital image). It will be professionally scanned, allowing us to guarantee an industry match to your original. If you want your photo or artwork returned, include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Please include your name, phone number, and order number (if known) on the back of the photo.

Digital photos must be at least 300 dpi at its desired printing size to print clearly. If using a digital camera, your camera should be at least 3 megapixels and set at the highest quality setting possible. This will result in a larger file size and will produce a higher quality image.

Professional photographers may require authorization to use photos they have taken. Click here for a photo release form

Do I need to approve all the pieces of my package at the same time?
If you have ordered an invitation package, nothing in your order will be printed until all pieces of your proof have been approved. If you have ordered both an invitation and reception package, you may wait and approve the reception package later if necessary. Keep in mind, however, that products printed on separate days may not have an exact color match.

How long does it take to receive my products?
A proof of your invitation or reception package will be emailed within 4-5 business days unless otherwise stated on your confirmation email. After all the items in your package(s) have been approved, they will go into production. Production will be completed within 10 days after final proof approvals. Transit time is 1-5 business days via UPS ground. Click here for details on shipping to your location.

Can I rush my order?
Yes. For an additional fee of $250 (Enter Promotional Code: rushfee250 into your order) we can guarantee that your invitation and reception packages will be shipped within 5 business days after proof approval instead of within 2 weeks. If you need to rush only a reception package or only a notepad, the additional fee is $100 and your products are guaranteed to ship within 5 business days after proof approval. You may also upgrade shipping at an additional cost.

How do you ship to Alaska and Hawaii?
Orders from Alaska and Hawaii are now shipped via UPS Ground. Additional charges will apply; these will be reflected in your order. Free shipping offers are only for the 48 contiguous states- call for details.

What is your cancellation policy?
Orders can only be cancelled before final proof approval. After that point there will be no refunds. All orders cancelled pre-production will incur a $150 charge to cover the cost of design work.

Can I get a sample of your invitations and place cards?
Yes! We're happy to send you our FREE sample invitation and reception package. The standard package includes a brochure and one complete set of samples. We recommend that you request a sample before placing your order, so that you can view the colors accurately.
