Semi-Custom Design Policy

I. DESIGN & PERSONALIZATION

Each semi-custom piece of stationery is intentionally designed to evoke a mood, style, or theme. While elements of the overall product can be personalized, the integrity of the design cannot be changed. 

In general, the aspects of each product that can be altered include:

  • Names
  • Event Details (location, date, time, websites, etc.)
  • Content for information cards and timeline cards
  • Color palette (paper, envelopes, and ink)
  • Foil color, if applicable

Aspects of the product designs that cannot be changed unless otherwise detailed within the product listing:

  • Fonts used in the design (unless approved by Hampton Paper Co.)
  • Layout of the design
  • Flourishes and decorative elements included in the design
  • Variations of printing methods once your order is placed

 

II. PROOFING & REVISIONS

PROOFS
Your ordered products will be personalized and shared for approval via digital proofs. Hampton Paper will send your first digital proof in 2-5 business days, after your wedding information form is completed. 

All semi-custom orders include three (3) rounds of digital proofs. If more than three (3) proofs are required, additional fees may apply.

FEEDBACK
Your feedback on the design must be submitted via the digital proof. Feedback shared by other methods will not be accepted.

Once your feedback is shared via the digital proof, a follow-up proof will be shared within two (2) business days, if necessary.

 

III. COMMUNICATION

As stated above, all proof feedback must be shared directly in the proof approval form.

Please direct all questions and concerns to your design contact via email, and if necessary they will offer availability for a conference call to discuss your questions, needs, or concerns.

Please refer to our cancellation policy.

IV. PRINT & PRODUCTION APPROVAL

Due to the nature of the design process for personal event stationery, there may be names or places that are not familiar to the Hampton Paper Co. Design Team. We will provide you with a Print & Production Approval Form to review all personalized products for spelling errors, grammar errors, or other errors that need to be corrected.
