Re: time frame

It took me 2 weeks from the time I found the ones we wanted until they were printed & delivered. My FH's friend did them for us for free with matching programs as a wedding gift so we just looked through his book, and we found them in one night

Re: time frame

It took us about 2-3 hours to pick them out. And our order came in 3 weeks.

Re: time frame

It took just over a week to get them and about one day to make a decision. (Actually it was a little longer than 1 day, I was going to this one place because i knew the person but I didn't really like any of his stuff so I was trying to pick something from things I wasn't crazy about. I ended up looking at some books that my photographer offered in his studio and it popped right out at me).

My advice, go to a couple of places - or one place that has a big selection of books.

SORRY SO LONG!

Re: time frame

mine were in in 10 days. It took me quite a few hours with many people helping me to decide to find the 'Perfect One.'

Re: time frame

We found ours in the first sitting. But it took us a few weeks to order them. Once we ordered them, it took about two weeks for them to come in.

Re: time frame

Mine took a little over 2 weeks from the day that I ordered them, but I lost three days due to President's Day and the blizzard. So I probably would have had them back in 2 weeks if it wasn't for the 2 feet of snow on the ground.

Re: time frame

We found ours in our first sitting, but we're having a medieval theme and knew EXACTLY what we wanted....something with a castle on the front. So that really narrowed us down. We looked for them right after we were engaged, so we waited about 7 months after that to order them. After we ordered them, they were ready in less than a week! I was shocked. We used Patchogue Floral's Fantasyland and ordered from a Birchcraft book. They even called us to tell us that they had printed one and the ink color we chose was not really matching the invitation colors and did we want to pick a different ink! We changed it to black, since you can't go wrong with black ink. I highly recommend them!

Re: time frame

Mine are taking about 4 months because they are handmade. I'm very glad I found and ordered them way ahead of time.

Re: time frame

Mine are taking about 3 months because they are custom made (this also includes the envelope addressing). It took me about 3 months of leisurely looking to find what I wanted, basically because I was looking for something a little different that wasn't super expensive.
