All wording shown on the website are just suggestions. These words will not appear on your invitation unless you type them in the text box. Of course you are welcome to use our wording or use anything you have come up with.

Return Address Option
Because of program restrictions, we had to separate the Return Address Option in two parts.
If you would like return addresses printed on your envelopes, first enter the address in the boxes. Next, in Step Five: Choose Yes, in the dropdown. Sorry if this is a little confusing. We didn’t have a choice on this.
Step Four: Choose either black or colored ink. If you are choosing a color, we will match that color to coordinate with something on the card, or make sure that the shade is complimentary to the design.
Step Five: Choose: Yes, if you would like return addresses on your envelopes and enter the address in the boxes above.
The next option is for our “No Stress Party Plan”. We will address, stuff, and mail your invitations to your guests. Choose: Yes, if you would like this option.
Enter the quantity in the box. Everything is sold in sets of 10. Enter 1 for 10, 2 for 20, etc. All invitations include envelopes.
Now click the pink “Add To Cart” Button.

1. Review and Approve Proof
Within 3 business days (please see our business schedule), a proof will be sent to the email address you provided at the time the order was placed. Carefully review your proof for any errors or omissions. Make sure you have included all the important party information like the date, time, address, RSVP information and any special instructions for the guests (attire, where to park, etc.) When reviewing your proof, you can make any corrections or changes before you make the final approval and it goes to printing. If you make a change, you will get a free 2nd proof for your approval. There is no charge for a 2nd proof, however it is only provided if you are making changes to your original proof. This 2nd proof is provided to avoid misinterpretations in your changes. A 2nd proof in not provided just to see another version of the invitation so you have a choice between the two. For instance, if you would like to change the ink color or font style, that is fine. However the invitation will be printed with your new choice. You do not have the option of going back to the first font style as we replace the templates and it is no longer saved. Your order will not go to printing until you make the final approval.

Preorders
A preorder is a process used to reserve the stock you like before you know all of the important information for your event. It is most commonly used when ordering birth announcements before the baby is born or before all the party details are available. To place a pre-order simply choose the stock you like and start the order process. In the text box, type “this is a preorder”. At this time, your credit card will be charged and the stock will be pulled and held for you. When you know all of the information for the birth announcement or party, simply email the information to: preorders@thepartystartshere.com. Please include your order number, name and phone number.
