Free artwork check on every order. We confirm with you before we print, and we email your invoice before anything goes on press.
Sending files: attach them above, or paste a Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or WeTransfer link. If the file is too big for the form, email it to info@walthamprint.co.uk and we will pick it up from there. Please send the original file rather than a screenshot or a photo of it, because we print from whatever you send us.

Bought a design on Etsy or made one in Canva? Perfect, that is most of our wedding work. Send the files and we will check the sizes, bleed and colours before anything prints, then run a proof so you can hold it first.

We print three main things for a wedding, and each one is priced on its own below: invitations, the order of service, and the seating plan. Everything else, from menus to place cards, we quote the same day.

Seating plan

Mounted on foam board and ready for an easel. Names change late, we are entirely used to it, so a plan booked before 12pm can be ready the same afternoon.

A2 on foam board£40
A1 on foam board£55

A1 is the size a queue of people can actually read from a few feet back.

Price my seating plan

Also on the day. A4 card prints for welcome signs, table plans and menus are £3.50 each on 350gsm silk or matte, with a £25 minimum order, which works out at 8 prints. Place cards and unusual shapes are cut in house, so see custom sizes and unusual jobs. Envelopes are off the price list because sizes vary too much, but we still print them, just ask. You can see wedding and event work we have printed, and what couples said about it in our reviews.

Before it prints

Etsy and Canva designs, printed properly

Most wedding stationery that comes to us was bought on Etsy or made in Canva, and that is completely fine, because it is the majority of our wedding work. But three things catch people out between downloading a template and holding a printed invitation, and all three are easy to sort if you know about them.

US sizes wearing A size names. A lot of Etsy sellers are American, so a template called A6 is often actually 4 x 6 inches, against a true A6 of 105 x 148mm. Close, but not the same shape. Printed as is on A6 card you get uneven margins, and stretched to fit, your type distorts. We resize properly, adjusting the layout rather than warping it.

Editable templates that were never exported. Corjl and Templett designs need downloading as a print ready PDF, not saved as a JPEG or screenshotted. Export at the highest quality option and include bleed if the seller offers it.

Colours that looked different on screen. Blush pinks, sage greens and dusty blues, the standard wedding palette, are exactly the colours that shift most between screen and ink. We check these before printing and, where a colour is going to move, we tell you and show you rather than surprising you on the day the box arrives.

We proof everything. For wedding work we always send a proof, and for anything you are nervous about we will run a single printed sample so you can hold it before we print fifty. Names are worth checking twice, because we can catch a print problem but we cannot catch a spelling your guest list got wrong.

If a file needs more than a resize, artwork work starts at £15 and we quote before we touch it.

Sending your files. Email to info@walthamprint.co.uk or a Dropbox, Drive or WeTransfer link gives us the original quality. If you have a sample you would like us to match, email a photo of it as well and we will work from that alongside your file.
Planning it

The full set, and when to order each part

Save the dates, six to twelve months out. A6 or A5 on 350gsm, often as a postcard format so they can go in the post without an envelope.

Invitations, three to six months out. 25 A6 cards are £55 and 50 are £70, with A5 at £65 and £80. Order about 10% more than your guest count, because there is always someone who gets missed off and a set that gets lost in the post.

On the day stationery, two to four weeks out. Menus, place cards, order of the day and table numbers. A4 prints on 350gsm silk or matte are £3.50 each with a £25 minimum, and place cards and unusual shapes are cut in house, so see custom sizes for anything non standard.

Order of service booklets, two to four weeks out. These print on our premium stock as standard, so an eight page booklet is £215 for 50 or £260 for 100, and twelve and sixteen page versions are priced in the calculator at the top of this page.

The seating plan, last, always. A2 on foam board is £40 and A1 is £55, and A1 is the size a queue of people can actually read. Names change late, because someone drops out the week before or a plus one appears, and we are entirely used to that. Same day or next day on a seating plan is normal for us, so do not panic print it early and then need it redone.

For funerals and memorials, our order of service page covers that properly, and those jobs always go to the front of the queue.

Good to know

Questions about wedding seating plan & cards

I bought my invitation design on Etsy. What do I send?

Download the files (PDF is best), send them over with your quantity, and we will check sizes and bleed before printing. This is one of our most common jobs.

Can you print the seating plan the week of the wedding?

Yes, the A1 seating plan is £55 and can usually be same day or next day, names always change late and we are used to it.

Can you print on coloured or textured card?

Tell us what you are picturing and we will quote it. Textured and coloured stocks are available beyond our standard silk and matte, including a cream card, and for wedding work they are often worth it. See the paper weights guide for how weight affects feel.

Can I order 30 invitations rather than 25 or 50?

Yes. The priced steps are 25 and 50 because they are the common ones, but we will quote any quantity, so just ask.

How late can I leave the seating plan?

Later than you think. Send us the final layout and we will usually turn an A1 plan around same day or next day. Book before 12pm if you need it that afternoon.

Do you do envelopes?

Envelopes came off the online price list because sizes and quantities vary too much, but we still print them. Ask and we will quote the same day.

Can you match my invitations to my order of service?

Yes, and it is worth doing: same stock, same colour build, same fonts. We keep your files, so the on the day stationery matches the invitations that went out six months earlier.

Can we see a sample before printing all our invitations?

Yes. A test print costs £15 per design and is usually ready the next day, and the £15 comes off your total when you go ahead. It is the best way to check the card, the colours and every name before the full run. Foam board seating plans are not sampled.

How long do invitations take to print?

Usually 2 to 3 working days once you have approved the proof, and a sample can be ready the next day. If you are short of time, same day is possible when you book before 12pm, at a higher price.

What size should folded place cards be?

We find 110 x 55mm is the ideal size for folded place names, printed on 350gsm card so they stand up properly on the table.

Is A6 a good size for an order of service?

A6 is quite small, and we do not get many orders of service at that size. Send us your files and we will recommend a size, along with card options to suit the style.

How many pages will our order of service be?

Count every side, including the front and back covers. A single card folded in half gives you four sides, which suits a short ceremony. Stapled booklets go up in fours, starting at 8 pages, and we will tell you which fits once we have seen your content.

Can foam board signs be printed on both sides?

No, foam board is printed on one side only. If you need a double sided sign, for example one hanging in an entrance, 5mm Foamex can be printed on both sides.

Should we choose cream or white card?

Cream card gives a soft, classic feel, but it tints everything printed on it, so full colour designs and photographs come out warmer and a little muted. For colourful designs choose white. For simple text and line designs, cream is lovely. Our cream card is also a lighter weight than our 350gsm white card.
