information 1 - the life cycle of an order
We advise you to place an order as early as possible to ensure you secure your date, this should be no later than 8 weeks until your wedding day and can be as far in advance as you wish; 6 months, 12 months, 2 years, 10 years.
If you do decide to wait until 8 weeks prior to your wedding before placing an order there is every possibility you will have missed your opportunity to make a booking. Please do consider booking early to avoid disappointment.
Once an order is placed we give you two key dates working backwards from your special day.
The first date is when to expect delivery of your favours which will normally be two weeks prior to your wedding day and the second date is when we’ll have completed the design which will normally be 5 weeks before your delivery date.
As an example if an order is placed in January 2023 for a wedding on 2nd October 2023 the delivery date would be 18th September 2023 and the design completion would be around 14th August 2023.

information 2 - why we do not take deposits
The reason we do not take deposits and ask for payment upfront and in full is that a large majority of the order value is in the design process.
I understand suppliers such as DJ’s, bands, photographers and florists will all take deposits and then the balance is paid within six weeks of your big day. This is because you are booking a date in their diaries and apart from a small amount of administration, no other work is being carried out until your wedding day or very near to it. By the time we get to six weeks out from your wedding day the order will almost be complete.

information 3 - small order vs large order
Something to bear in mind - whether you’re ordering 10, 100 or 1,000 the elements involved in created and making your favours are still the same.
The main ingredient for all our favours is the design;
The Design - all designs are firstly hand drawn to capture each couple or anything else they wish. Once I have hand drawn them I’ll produce a graphical design of the sketch.
If you already have a CAD design you'd like to use for your favour then the process should be easier, however, I would still need to re-design this for compatibility when creating the manufacturing tool (the die).

We require at least 5 weeks from receiving an order to delivering your favours. However, we ask that you consider placing your order at your earliest convenience to allow sufficient time to schedule your design and to avoid missing the opportunity of giving your guests these special wedding favours. We currently have commitments for next October, November and December. Designs shall be complete with sufficient time to deliver your favours, normally 35 days until your big day.

Myself and my husband (!) could not have been more thrilled with the amazing favours Sam made for our wedding or for the fun, friendly and professional way that Sam dealt with every stage of the design and order process. Everyone loved the pins and they captured us so perfectly. I will absolutely be returning to place another order as soon as I can think of an occasion worthy of Sams totally unique work. Thank you so much again, Sam!
