How many free samples can I order?
If you have not already placed an order with Olive Weddings or discussed your order in more detail on the phone or email there is a limit of ten free samples per couple. Due to the free nature of Olive Wedding's samples service, we cannot offer more than this unless you have a specific interest in a design and would like to see more formats/colours, in which case please get in touch and discuss your requirements. If you would like to sample more designs/colours than ten, you can purchase a day invitation via the individual design pages. If any free sample requests exceed this limit, the first ten will be sentHow long do I have to wait for samples?
We aim to get samples out within 10 days of your sample request. Samples are prepared once a week on the same day so if you order several small sets of samples and get some quicker than others it may be that you ordered a set just before a sample day! Occassionally it takes longer to get samples out, if a card colour, type or size needs to be restocked.I had an email saying my samples were despatched but I haven't had them. What should I do?
Samples are sent second class by Royal Mail. Please allow 7 working days from your despatch email to receive them. If they have not arrived after this time, please email us quoting your free sample order reference and we will send a replacement batch.

Once we have received your order, we aim to get PDF proofs to you within three days. Once approved, your finished stationery will be delivered in two weeks, on average. You can pay a rush charge of £50 to have your stationery made top priorty, this allows us to pay for expedited postage from our suppliers and work outside of normal hours to get them sorted for you. These time-scales are from when payment is received. Every effort is made to get orders processed and sent as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, these timings may change due to circumstances beyond our control, but we will always keep you updated on your order. Lead times also vary depending on the time of year. We are busy all year round but Mid November to May are particularly busy with orders for spring weddings so please be sure to allow enough time for your order from sign off/payment to delivery. Please note, lead times on more simple invitations such as those in the Contemporary Range will be shorter than invites with more finishing involved (pockets and wallets).Is there anything I can do to speed up the lead time?
Yes. If you pay in advance your card can be ordered before sign off. Provide required quantities, card types and colours as early as possible. This allows Olive to order in what they need in advance of the wording being agreed and proofs checked, meaning once the designs are signed off, the hand-making process can begin immediately.Can I ask for more than one type of sample?

RSVP postcards are able to be sent in the post with the simple addition of a stamp, like a holiday postcard. They are printed with your desired return address and function as a freestanding item. They have space for simple RSVP responses and sometimes more information can be fitted on but if you require more space a double sided RSVP might be better. This can have information or response requests on both sides but will require an envelope (which can be source by the guest or supplied by you with the invites) in order to be returned. Olive Wedding Stationery sells envelopes at a suitable size for all our double sided RSVPs so that you can supply them with your invites.Yes! We supply envelopes printed on the highest quality FSC 135gsm paper - We would not recommend printing on darker colours so try our envelope wrap labels if you need an addressing solution for dark envelopes.
