how to send names for envelopes
EXCEL FORMAT / NUMBERS
As the spelling of names can vary between cities and countries, the texts will be copied directly from the Excel file I will receive, it is up to you to check that all the spelling is correct.
Envelopes with any errors (i.e. written differently from what you have indicated) will be redone free of charge.
What to write? It depends very much on your wedding, whether it is formal or more informal. For a more classic and elegant wedding use the formulas Gentilissima, Gentilissimo, Gentilissimi, if necessary also write the address. For a more informal wedding you use just write the names.
The important thing is that all envelopes follow the same rule, remember that each Excel line corresponds to an envelope, so follow the guide file carefully.
Recommendations: invitations should be sent according to actual or cohabiting households, all guests over the age of 18 should have their own envelope even if they live with their parents; avoid using “and family”, as this could be open to interpretation.
Second Block
You can order the graphic co-ordinates for the wedding day (menus, place cards, table cards...) at a later date, but at least 30 days before your wedding date. Graphics and layout for each additional product costs €10, plus printing and shipping costs. Again, there is no minimum order and are including a maximum of 3 DIGITAL PREVIEWS.
Digital files are only provided in exceptional cases, at an additional cost of €25 per file.

Ceremony booklet

You can choose to print just the cover of the booklet and print the inside pages yourself, or opt for the complete print that includes both the cover that the inside pages, all bound with a classic double staple. In both cases, your name, place and date will appear on the front cover. On the back cover, you will have the option of writing a sentence or a thank you, while the second and third covers will remain blank.
If you have chosen the cover + inner pages option, it is important that texts are sent in PDF in A5 format. We ask you to send us the final file, with the texts already approved by your priest or celebrant, as no changes in content are planned. To make it easier for you, we provide a downloadable Word file on which you can work.
In terms of materials, the cover is printed on 250g Tintoretto Neve paper. The inside pages, printed front and back with black ink, can be printed on 80 gsm handmade paper or on 95 gsm Tintoretto Neve paper, the same type of paper as the cover but with a lower thickness.
The double-staple binding requires the total number of pages to be a multiple of 4. If necessary, we will add blank pages at the end. The price includes a booklet of up to 32 sides, including the cover (which already counts as 4 sides).
The booklets are A5 and are delivered with visible staples. The price does not include any additional ribbon or cord.

How to compile the file for table markers
Each table must correspond to a column in the Excel file.
In the first line indicate the name of the table (e.g. Lavender, Sage, etc.).
Below, list the names of the guests who will sit at that table, in the order you want them printed.
Repeat the same pattern for all tables (adding new columns if necessary).
Files that do not respect this structure will not be accepted.
If you have any doubts, please contact me directly: I will be happy to help you.
The recommended size for table cards is 13×18 cm, but can be modified to suit your needs.
Single panel tableau
EXCEL FORMAT / NUMBERS
Table names for the single panel must be sent differently depending on the type of table(s).
SMALL TABLES: Each table corresponds to an Excel column. In the first row you write the name of the table, below you must enter the names of those who will sit at that table. The order of the names will be respected in the printout. Repeat the process for all subsequent tables. (Add columns if necessary).
IMPERIAL TABLES: For each table there are two Excel columns; left and right side of the table, if there are more imperial tables add the necessary columns.
TABLE A U: As with the imperial tables, per each table there are two Excel columns; left and right side of the table.
Files that do not follow this pattern will not be accepted. You can call me if you need further explanations.
The recommended size for the single panel tableau is 60×80 cm, but can be modified to suit your needs.
Table markers
EXCEL FORMAT / NUMBERS
Write the list of all tables in one column. If you want to insert phrases or thoughts under the table name. These must be entered in the second column next to the corresponding table.
The recommended size for table markers is 10×10 cm, but can be modified to suit your needs. They can also be printed in “cavalier” format, i.e. self-supporting.
Menu
WORD FORMAT / PAGES
The menu must be sent in Word format, complete with all the texts to be included: names of the bride and groom, date, courses (starter, first course, main course, wedding cake, etc.).
If you would like to place the name of the guest on each menu (option available at an additional cost), please send the list of names by following the instructions in the placeholder section, indicating the corresponding menu in the column next to it.
The recommended dimensions are: Single place menu: 9.5 × 20 cm - Table menu: A5 format. All sizes can be adapted according to your needs.
Fan
WORD FORMAT / PAGES
The fan will have your names and the date of the wedding on the front, on the back you can decide to insert a sentence or quote or the programme of the day, I should receive that text in Word format.
If you have chosen the programme for the day, please let me know whether you would like the icons or just the text, and let me know which type of fan you prefer with stick or triangle (ribbon to be purchased separately)
Placeholders
EXCEL FORMAT / NUMBERS
You will understand that paginating an average of 100 names can become a very high risk of error. So if you have any doubts on how to compile the file, please call me without hesitation.
First names must be written in the first column and last names in the second column, leave the cell empty if you do not wish to write surnames. Pay attention to the correspondence, each first name must have the corresponding surname in the cell next to it.
Names must contain accents or special characters, because the texts you have provided will be inserted directly.
The recommended size for place cards is 8×5 cm, but can be modified to suit your needs. They can also be printed in “cavalier” format, i.e. self-supporting.
Thank you
I care a lot about my clients and my work, I always want the graphics of your event to be perfect, mistakes don't please you or me. So thank you very much for your cooperation.
Digital drafts of all chosen elements will be sent to you, you can of course inform me of any typing or spelling errors, no files are sent to the printer without your approval.
If your printed invitations and coordinates have errors, and this error was present in the preview you approved, be it spelling or typing errors, you will have to bear the reprinting costs. Digital proofs serve not only to assess the aesthetic side but also to verify the information and texts contained therein.
