Can I change the color of an invitation?
Many of our invitations include the option to change the color for part if not all of the design. Colored ink is available on all invitations and can be viewed when you begin personalizing. Invitations that are tagged as having more color options often give you the ability to change not only the wording, but the design as well!
I have my own wording I’d like to use on my invitation. Can I use that instead of choosing your verses?
Absolutely! The majority of our invitations can be personalized using any wording you'd like. For no extra charge, we'll print your original wording on your invitations. If you have questions about invitation wordings, verses or formats, email our customer service team at service@AnnsBridalBargains.com or call us at 800-821-7011 and our friendly representatives will be there with the answers you need.

Can I make changes to my order after I've submitted it?

A $10.00 fee will be applied for changes and/or cancellations. If your order is already in production, you will be charged in proportion to the work already completed.
Can I place my order over the phone?
Absolutely! Call us at 800-821-7011 and we’d be happy to assist you.
Where's my order?
You will receive an order confirmation email to verify your order has been submitted. You will then receive a shipping confirmation email once your order has shipped. You may use the tracking number listed in your shipping confirmation email to track your order.
Do you ship internationally?
Outside of the United States, we ship to Puerto Rico and Canada.
Do you ship to FPO & APO addresses?
We do! Orders shipping to APO, FPO or P.O. box addresses can only be shipped through the U.S. Postal Service.
Can I save my personalization and come back later to finish it?
Yes! You’ll need to create an account to ensure your changes are saved and accessible from any device (including mobile and tablets). To save an item while you’re personalizing, click on the Save for Later button in the upper right corner of your screen. If an item is in your Cart, it will automatically be saved to your account’s Saved Projects.
How can I find items I’ve personalized and saved?
To see your saved items, sign into your account and navigate to the My Saved Projects link.
Do you print invitations in languages other than English?
Yes! You can personalize with any language using the English alphabet in our online personalization tool. Need help using a language that does not use the English alphabet? Call us at 800-821-7011 and we’d be happy to assist you.
How do I add special characters, underline, italicize, bold or align my wording?
A. Referencing the list below, type the characters found next to the special command you would like to apply.
For example:
To add a bullet type \b\
To bold your name, type <O2>YOURNAME<O0>
Can I change the font size?
Absolutely! You can do this a couple different ways. For each area of text, you will see an "M" and an "A". "M" stands for Main Style Font. "A" stands for your Accent style font. You will see an option to adjust those text sizes to S, M, L or XL. If you want to get a little more creative with your font size, you will want to add the command <p10> before your text on each line. This will make it smaller. You can adjust the number 10 up or down to the size you would like. Then, click the 'preview my design' button at the top of the personalizer to see the updated preview. It's that easy!
If you would like us to make the change for you, simply make a note in the Design Request field before proceeding to the cart. We will make the change and send you a proof to review and approve the update.

What is corner copy?
Some couples will choose to include information in the lower left or right corner of their invitation. This could be reception, respond or dress code information. Corner copy appears in the bottom left or right corner depending on your design.
What kind of paper do you offer?
Because we offer such a wide range of invitation styles, we also have a wide range of paper. Please refer to the Description and Details for each item to learn more about the paper used. Many of our invitations and enclosure cards let you choose what kind of paper you would like us to print on. View the options here.
What's the difference between white & ecru paper?
Invitations are often printed on white paper because the crisp, bright white color is a great foundation for creating a design that stands out. However, the cream color of ecru paper lends a soft, elegant look to any invitation.
Is it possible to change the size and/or color of the invitations you show?
Usually the invitations shown on our website are available only as shown but you can still make the invitation uniquely you by selecting your fonts, ink colors and wording. There are some exceptions to the "As Shown" option. If you are interested in finding out about a specific invitation, please e-mail us at service@AnnsBridalBargains.com or call toll-free 800-821-7011 to speak with a Customer Service representative.
Can I customize my invitation with my own artwork?
We would be happy to assist you with this. Please contact Customer Service by emailing service@AnnsBridalBargains.com or calling toll-free 800-821-7011 to speak with a representative.
Can I have our picture printed on my invitation?
We offer a large selection of photo invitations for you to choose from but if you find an invitation you like and it doesn’t feature a photo, you may call Customer Service to see if adding a photo is possible for an additional fee. Please e-mail us at service@AnnsBridalBargains.com or call 800-821-7011 to speak to a representative.
Can I order an invitation proof?
Digital proofs are available during checkout for an additional charge, which means a digital rendering of your invitation will be emailed to you for your approval prior to printing. PLEASE NOTE: your order will be placed on hold and you will not be charged until we receive your approval of the proof. Once approved, your order will be processed.
Can you assemble my invitations for me?
Yes, we can! Contact our Customer Service team at 800-821-7011 to speak to a representative about assembly charges for your invitation.
Will you address my envelopes for me?
Yes, we can professionally print your envelopes with your return address and/or recipients' names and addresses. It's easy! Simply begin personalizing your invitation online then follow the simple steps on the Envelope Options page. View more details here.
Will you stamp and mail my invitations for me?
Sorry, we currently do not offer this service.
How many invitations should I order?
We suggest you have your guest list finalized before you place your invitation order. Then you will know how many invitations you will need and not have to guess at the number. You will send one invitation per household unless there is a resident of the household over 18. Young adults should receive their own invitations. Be sure to order invitations for the wedding party as well as for keepsakes. We also suggest you order an extra 10% to cover anyone that you may have missed.
How do I word my wedding invitation?
The wedding verse you choose is determined by who is hosting your wedding. Once you begin personalizing your invitation online, you'll be able to choose from a wide range of verse options. Often, family situations determine how your invitation should be worded.
How many napkins should I order?
For wedding celebrations, it's typical to order two cocktail napkins and two dinner napkins per guest. However, the number of wedding napkins needed may change depending on the style of celebration. For example, a cocktail and hors d'ouevre reception would need four cocktail napkins per guest. A plated meal with cloth napkins would only need two cocktail napkins per guest. For all other celebrations, it's best to order two cocktail napkins per guest. We even suggest ordering three per guest if the celebration involves a fair amount of food and beverages.
How many wedding programs should I order?
To determine how many programs you need, count up exactly how many guests will attend. Order one program for each guest plus a few extras for guests you may have overlooked, as well as keepsakes for yourself.
When should I send my wedding invitations?
We suggest sending wedding invitations out 6-8 weeks before your wedding. Be sure to request that your guests have their rsvp back to you 3-4 weeks prior to your wedding or several days before your caterer needs a final head count (whichever comes first). Is your wedding over a holiday weekend or are you having a destination wedding? Be considerate and send your invitations 12-15 weeks prior to your big day! Since invitations should be sent 6-8 weeks before the wedding, we recommend ordering at least 10-12 weeks prior. For holiday and destination weddings, we recommend ordering at least 17-19 weeks prior.
When should I send my save the dates?
Six months before your wedding is a good rule of thumb when sending out save the dates. If your wedding is over a holiday weekend or if you're having a destination wedding, we suggest sending your save the date 9-12 months prior to give your guests time to book travel and accommodations.
How do I invite only a few guests to our wedding ceremony but many to our reception?
Send everyone an invitation printed with such wording as: "Mr. and Mrs. Jacob R. Jones request the pleasure of your company at a reception in honour of the marriage of their daughter Brenda to Mr. Peter L. Hansen date, time, place..." For those few you’d like to invite to the wedding ceremony, enclose what we normally call a "reception" card printed with the ceremony information: "The honour of your presence is requested at the ceremony date, time, place..."
