Frequently Asked Questions

We have a tight budget, can we still afford
a bespoke design service?
Yes, our pricing is very competitive. We will create something that specifically suits your budget and type of wedding. We can advise on ways to reduce costs without compromising quality and individuality.

What is theme design?
The word ‘theme’ is often used in different ways.
At Amethyst we use ‘theme’ to describe the style,
identity and feel of your wedding.

When should we order our stationery?
We recommend getting in touch with us at the start of your wedding planning (as soon as 2 years to 6 months before your wedding date). Destination weddings often require invitations sent out 1 year in advance, to allow guests time to make their travel arrangements. Generally most invitation and website designs take a couple of months depending on the design, sometimes less time if urgent.

What do you include in theme design?
See our Creating Your Design section. We will look at how your theme can be applied across all the elements in your package.

How do we plan our stationery requirements?
We plan and manage your wedding stationery and décor for you. Once your order is in place you have guaranteed delivery of all design elements in your package.

We normally deliver your designs to you in FOUR stages:

1. Invitations & Website
   Delivered from 1 year to 4 months in advance of your wedding date.
2. Ceremony Stationery
   Once your Order of Service is agreed with your registrar or vicar – usually 4 months prior to your wedding date.
3. Reception Design & Décor
   From 6 months to the day before the wedding! When your menu and guest numbers are agreed we can work on the table dressing and reception stationery. Your theme and favour concepts can be produced earlier.
4. Memories
   Anytime, although if you want to incorporate photographs of the special day then we need to wait for your photographer to release the prints or files!
