Frequently Asked Questions

How much do your wedding invitations and collection items cost?

Please call 800.788.0611 with any questions about additional fees.

Are envelopes included with my invitation order?
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. If you would like to receive your envelopes ahead of your order, you must place and pay for an additional envelope order.

Will you print the addresses on my envelopes?
Please call 800-788-0611 for details. Click here to see available fonts.

Are envelopes included with my RSVP cards?
RSVP Cards are set up like a postcard, so envelopes are not automatically included. However, if you would like an envelope to accompany your RSVP card, you can order it as an add-on product. The style code is ENV-754W (white linen) or ENV-731 (ivory linen). These envelopes will ship with your order.

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.

How much do the invitations cost to mail?
Calculate your mailing weights by adding up the weights of items you will include.
Including your own additional inserts may increase the postal rate. Check with your post office for the exact weight and current rates.

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 invitations and collection items is 25.

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 number cards should I order?
You'll need one table number for 8 people, depending on how you arrange your seating. You receive table numbers 1 through the quantity you order in multiples of 8. Table number cards are ordered in multiples of 8; therefore, you may receive more table card numbers than you need. For quantities not shown in this chart, the formula used is the number of guests divided by the number of people per table = how many table cards you need rounded up to the nearest mulitple of 8.

Can I change the font on a design I see on the website?
Yes. Fonts can be changed at no additional charge. Available fonts are viewable through the Design Studio or by clicking here 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. If your chosen design comes with vellum, you may change out the artwork on the vellum for initials. The font used will be the same font used for your names on the invitation. If a different font is desired you will need to specify this and select from the Font Guide.

Can I change the color on a design I see on the website?
Generally, yes, colors can be changed at no additional charge. Make your color choice using the Design Studio or indicate your choice in the Additional Notes for the Designer text box. To ensure that colors reproduce as expected we have printed color palettes. 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 color palette?
Yes. Our color palette includes a wide range of options, representing today's most popular wedding colors. However, 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 (for the Postcard Address) and the optional backside of the enclosure card, which are printed in black. The front of these cards are printed in full color. If you would like to change the standard one color black backside imprint to a color, make your color choice using the Design Studio or indicate your choice in the Additional Notes for Designer text box. A $25 fee will apply.

Can I include a map on the enclosure card?
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 you. When you order a custom design on our website, these additional charges are automatically included. Artist Series Artist Series Invitations cannot be ordered as Custom Design for You.
Please call 800.788.0611 with any questions about custom design for your products.

Please refer to our graphic standards for specifications and acceptable submission formats. To ensure your complete satisfaction regarding color accuracy, graphics and fonts, we require you to purchase a printers proof for an additional charge of $50. This charge is automatically added in and reflected in the per piece price online.

If your artwork has not been prepared according to our graphic standards, we reserve the right to charge a "Custom Design for You" 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 * 3890 Pheasant Ridge Drive NE, Suite 190 * 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) with 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

Will I receive a proof before my invitation order is printed?
If you ordered invitations using the Design Studio and did not include any special design instructions, you have already reviewed and approved your design as part of the design process and will not receive an email proof. However, if you added special design instructions, our designers will make the changes you requested, and in most cases email you a proof for approval. If you want to make sure you receive a proof in this instance, request one in the notes for designer section of your order.

For all other orders using the traditional order form, you will receive an email proof for approval after your order is complete. Proofs will be emailed within 3 business days unless specified otherwise in the product description or in your order confirmation email. In the proof email there will be a link to a PDF file--this is your proof. View your proof by simply clicking on the link. For the most accurate display of the layout, make sure you view your proof at actual size and print it out.

If you request two layout styles, ask to see two different photos on a layout style, or change your layout style after the first proof has been reviewed, a $25 proof charge will apply. To rush a proof, the fee is $25 per item with a maximum of $75.

After you have received your proof, you must give us your approval for printing to begin. Please carefully check for any errors before sending your approval. MagnetStreet will not send your order to print until we have received your final approval.

Do I need to order and approve all the pieces of my invitation ensemble at the same time?
Yes. You must approve all the pieces in your order at the time of purchase. If you would like to wait and approve your reception or thank you items, you can place another order when you're ready. 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?
After you have sent your final approval for the proofs/designs for all of the items in your order, they will go into production. Production will be completed within 7 business 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. There are rush options available for an additional fee. Please call 800.788.0611 for details. You may also upgrade shipping at an additional cost (no shipments are made on major holidays).

How will my order be packaged?
Your items will be shrink-wrapped for shipping. (The exception to this is notepads which will be boxed separately.) The items will then be placed in a brown corrugated box with bubble wrap to fill any voids. Depending on the size of the order there may be two boxes. For example, if 250 magnets are ordered, they would go in their own box. An envelope with extra items will have no more than 5 per item. Item numbers will vary. The Packing slip will be in a clear packing envelope on the outside of the box.

What is the cost to ship my product to me?
Shipping cost is based on UPS published rates and is determined by the package weight and your address. Call 800.788.0611 for further details.

How do you ship to Alaska and Hawaii?
Orders are now shipped via UPS Ground to the 48 contiguous states and Alaska and Hawaii.

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 a FREE sample. 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. You may request up to 3 additional designs, for which we will include samples of the invitation piece only. Order your sample kit now!

When can I expect my FREE sample package?
Your FREE wedding packet, including samples, will be mailed the next business day from the time your request was submitted. Order your sample kit now!
