Your invitation order from Poly Graphics gets the utmost attention by a designer.

A designer who reads your wording & looks for anything that is missing.

A designer that reviews your text for spelling and omissions.

A designer that formats your wording in the font that you select on the design that you have chosen so that it looks the very best that it can.

A designer that takes the time to make your invitation wonderful.

But we may have different ideas of what “wonderful” means.

Your order will be carefully drafted, then placed on a personalized page where you can review what we’ve done.

So if you don’t like what our designer has created, let us know. We’ll change it until you like it*.

There is no automatic, machine generated drafting process at Poly Graphics. And we like it that way. We hope you like it that way too.

Bob

* We will work with you on your draft until you like it – which means several versions of your wording and graphics. Normally there is no extra charge for preparing drafts, but we may ask for an additional design fee if we prepare an unreasonable amount of drafts and no conclusion is in sight. We’re here to serve you, but we need to feed our kids.

Invitation Paper Types Described

When ordering invitations from Poly Graphics you have a choice of two different types of paper.

smooth invitation paper up close

Our normal smooth paper or our linen paper.

These photos give you an idea of what the texture is like for each of these types of paper. These are zoomed-in photos – the smooth is much smoother to the touch than this photo looks. And the linen paper has the “woven” look that you see here, but the weave is not as big as it looks in this photo.

Linen invitation paper up close - from Poly Graphics

The linen paper is nice, has a nice feel, and comes with matching envelopes. Linen invitations and linen note cards cost 10% more than smooth invitations and smooth note cards. The linen paper and linen envelopes cost more to stock, that’s the reason for the 10% upcharge.

Each type of paper is also available in white or ivory (off-white, or natural) colors.

Let us know which you like best for your invitation order.

Bob

P.S. The linen paper works great for both formal invitations and informal invitations. We’ve done kids laser tag party invitations on linen paper and they look great.

The Poly Graphics ladybug moving fast

When you order invitations you usually need to get them fast…. after doing some calendar arithmetic to figure out when your invitation should be mailed sometime there  is not  much time to prepare invitations.

We want you to get your invitations out fast too. At Poly Graphics we are very sensitive to that.

If you are really in a hurry for your invitations we have a Rush option. Orders placed before 10am (Eastern US time) ship the same day they are ordered!  Which means we receive, proof, draft, receive your approval, update (if necessary), re-draft, print and ship your order all in 1 day.

Even non-Rush invitation orders get quick service – a draft of your order is posted within a day if your order was placed Monday thru Friday. Orders placed over the weekend or on a holiday are drafted and ready for review by the end  of Monday. When you approve we print & ship the same or next business day.

We’ll prepare your invitations quickly!

Here’s to speed,

Bob

P.S. Fast Birth Announcements, Fast Announcements, Fast Invitations, all just fast

accurate invitations are our goal at Poly Graphics

When ordering invitations online it is nice to be able to be sure that they are exactly correct.

Most of the time there is no extra time to re-do invitations. There is a deadline to meet so that your guests can receive their invitations and  have enough time to RSVP to your celebration. Usually there is no time to waste.

At Poly Graphics we have a designer work with you to make absolutely sure that your invitation is exactly right. Your designer prepares your draft, which you review on your private page.

When you view your draft we ask for your feedback.

  • Is the wording correct?
  • Is everything spelled correctly?
  • Are the dates right?
  • Do the graphics look right?
  • Are the colors what you requested?

If anything is out of line, let us know. We’ll correct your draft – and work with you until everything is as you like it.

the draft - review - correct - ok process at Poly Graphics

No fears!  The  draft – review – correct  cycle is here …. until you say OK.

Bob

P.S. Did I mention that drafts and corrections to drafts are provided to you at PolyGraphics.com for No Extra Charge?

P.P.S. This process applies to anything you order from Poly Graphics – invitations, note cards, stickers, stationery, & more.

Poly Graphics believes in giving to local and worldwide charities – donations are given to these charities from your invitation orders.

The month of May we happily donate to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization, whose goal is to end breast cancer forever.

Next month we’ll donate to a local charity, the Western Wake Crisis Ministry, whose mission is to provide a helping hand to the Apex & Holly Springs (NC) community – in the form of food or crisis financial aid.

Offering great invitations, providing awesome service with a quality product and making you happy are what we aim for everyday.

Giving back to our community and country a portion of what we’ve earned gives us extra joy.

Thanks for giving us the opportunity to create your invitations – and to give away some of what we’ve earned.

Bob

P.S. If you purchase some breast cancer awareness note cards from Poly Graphics, we’ll give a full 10% of your order  to Susan G Komen for the Cure

Celebrate with balloons, streamer, and party hat

Evelyn called last week and made my day.

She said “My goal is to plan a party that you don’t have an invitation for

Wow!

I know that PolyGraphics.com has a wide variety of party invitations. And we add more all the time.  Many of our invitations came about because of customer request – because we create new designs when you request them, then we make them available on our website so that others may order what you requested.

We’ll even design a matching thank you note card.

But I don’t think we’ve got every possible party covered.

Can you think of an invitation that Poly Graphics doesn’t have?

Bob

P.S. I don’t think that we have a National Cheese Day invitation (yet). National Cheese Day is June 4th, 2010.

P.P.S. Thanks for the call Evelyn!

Bumblebee & Flower Invitation - Blank

Do you want your invitations blank?  With no wording?

We can do that – just don’t put any wording in the “wording” field on the order form at PolyGraphics.com. Or just put “no wording” as the wording.

We will apply a 10% discount to your order if you request no wording.

But, first, let me try to talk you out of it.

Are you worried about how long it will take your order to get to you?

We’ve got some really fast options for you:

1) With a RUSH option we print and ship the same day (M-F, orders placed before 10am Eastern U.S. time), or next day (Sun-Thur, orders placed after 10am Eastern US time). [Typical total time between order and ship - less than 30 hours]

2) Our normal process – within 24 hours (M-F) your order is posted for your review. When we receive your approval we print and ship the next business day, where a business day is Mon-Fri. [Typical total time between order and ship - less than 72 hours]

3) Are you sure about your wording? Order with No Draft. We’ll prepare and ship your order the next business day. [Typical total time between order and ship - less than 48 hours]

Are you not sure about your party details?

Review the list above – we prepare and ship your order very quickly. If you order before you know all the details, then let us know what to add or change, we’ll have a draft prepared and your order printed and shipped speedily.

Can your printer print on heavy card stock?

Our standard invitation is 5″ x 7″ on 80lb cover paper. This paper is heavy, like an index card or business card, and may not go through your printer. Also, your printer is probably optimized for 8 1/2″ x 11″ 20lb office paper. Can it handle the size and weight of an invitation?

Worried that we won’t get the wording right?

The draft process at PolyGraphics is designed to assure you that what you requested and what you see is as close as possible to what you will get. You’ll love to see and be able to comment about your order when you review the design we’ve prepared for you.

Yes, you can order your invitations blank. But do you want to?

Looking forward to serving you,

Bob

P.S. Just today we had a customer tell us ‘I like this “proof” process!‘ (thanks Joe!)

P.P.S. Want more information about the paper that we use? See my previous post about paper weight.
