cards and pockets custom printing

[Firefly09]

Wonder if anyone who has used them can help answer this: do they send you a print sample before the full order?

Thanks!

A lot of brides on here have used that company. I'm sure if you do a search of the board, you'll be able to find specific planning journals that mention them. Have you looked in the invitation sticky thread yet?

Yes I've read through the invitations thread. NO mention of whether C&P sends you a sample of your invite before running the full order.

I found this in the FAQ section of the Cards and Pockets site.

I just ordered my invitations from Cards & Pockets. Once you send them the art, you can have a printed sample sent to you before they print the entire order. I think the printed sample was $5 - $10 and there was no shipping charge.

I ended up making some small changes to our invitation art after receiving the first printed sample and they couldn't have been easier to work with!

Just wanted to come back and say that yes there was the option to order a sample print for $5. Probably varies depending on how complex the invitations are, ours were simple panel cards. I went ahead and just placed the full order as I had printed off a copy at home with the paper samples I had ordered the week before.

The service was wonderful. I had to send them my files multiple times just because I kept sending them the wrong ones and they graciously handled it all. I placed my order on Friday and got it the next Wednesday with 2 day shipping! The only regret was not letting C&P mount the invitation to the panel card and doing it myself. Doing it myself saved 30 cents a card but added more stress.
