7. I don't want to order only invitations. Can I order the other pieces?
Of course you can. However, these will always be within the same design line of the invitations you order. To do this, just tell us what you need (menus, table markers, placards - seating plan, etc.).
8. Can I buy your illustrations/ layouts to use on other things?
No. But you can always tell us what you want to do, maybe we can help you out!

If the order has already been taken in there will be no refund.
