Announcement
Cyan & Sepia • Printable invitations and save the dates, notecards and thank you cards - as well as custom orders! Specializing in retro and antiqued looks, with a variety of themes and styles. Fast turnaround time: Most orders are placed, a proof sent, and final files ready within a day or two! Text is customized to whatever you'd like (including extra lines and title changes), files are optimized for whatever your sending plans are: Printing online, locally, at home, posting to social media, SMS, etc.
==COVID-19==
For now, the only change to my shop is possible delays in response times to messages (school's a little pickier about sick kids in class), and whatever weirdness USPS is going through. Nobody in our contact circle is symptomatic - if/when that changes, or anyone in my household is under quarantine after being a close contact, I will pause sales of physical items out of abundance of caution. (Digital listings unaffected!) I've always washed my hands before packing up orders, and inventory is stored in airtight containers. (Kid + pets will get you in these habits lol.) I ship from home, so no delays there either. So far, I've been finding USPS to be delivering mostly on schedule for me.
* IF YOUR EVENT DATE HAS CHANGED! * and you ordered invitations/other items from me, there is no charge to change date/time! I hang onto customer files...well, tbh, essentially forever, so I'll still have the setup handy to edit your file. (If several lines/large revisions need to be made, there may be a small fee.) I can also do Change Date cards on a custom basis, just let me know what you need!
<3 THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING SMALL! <3

*ORDERING NOTE!* I'm in the middle of adapting listings to Etsy's new Digital Listings and Personalization options. If something seems odd during your order process, please reach out to me directly - I've absolutely had the new system "eat" information and have it vanish between buyer typing and seller receiving! Feel free to use the good ol' Note to Seller box during checkout, or you can send me an Etsy Message, or email cyanandsepia (at) gmail (dot) com, as always. :)

FAQs:
* TURN-AROUND TIME * Just a few days! :) I'm usually able to customize and send proofs within 24-48 hours of the order being placed (excluding the occasional weekend off) - once a proof is approved, I'll send a print-ready file within another 24-48 hours. (In some cases, it may be quicker, but I am not in the office 24/7, so I can't promise to accommodate anything needed in less than 48 hours. Check the shop's Twitter page at twitter.com/cyanandsepia for latest schedule updates.)
* Invitations are PRINTABLE, digital, print-your-own files! This means I do not print them - I'll send you the customized image file, for you to print as many as you'd like, whenever and however you'd like! :)
* Wording changes of any kind are included with purchase of any invitation or enclosure card listing! You're welcome to use a bridal shower invitation for a wedding, a baby shower invitation for a birthday, etc.
* I always send a proof first, for you to check for spelling or other changes before emailing a final copy.
* Instant download files (gift tags, recipe cards) are sold as-is - no customization is included with purchase. Send me a Conversation message with your request, and I can let you know pricing for alterations. :)
* Custom work: I'm usually available for custom orders! Whether it's a brand new design, or a matching item you don't see listed (programs, water bottle labels, party circles, etc), send me a Convo about what you have in mind! :) Please note that they do take extra time to complete, though usually within a week.
* Old designs: In an effort to ensure more prompt completion of orders (as well as a little housekeeping!), I occasionally remove older designs from the shop. If there was one you wanted that you don't see anymore, PLEASE just let me know! I still have all the files accessible, and can get it re-listed for you if desired. :)
* The only items I have available as already-printed items are note cards and thank you cards - every listing specifies if it's a printed item or digital image. (Though I may be able to help you navigate the world of ordering prints online if you need it!) Any questions, feel free to contact me directly!
* Please check the Shop Policies for additional information, see the full "Item Details" description on the listing you're interested in, or, as always, feel free to Convo me with your questions!

5 out of 5 starsExactly what I wanted and needed!! My son wanted a “Mars Rover” themed birthday party and these invites were perfect. Most thorough printing instructions I’ve ever received, very fast service, and easy/quick to make an adjustment after the first proof.

5 out of 5 starsWorking with Melissa on our daughter’s e-birthday card was a breath of fresh air. She was incredibly responsive, helpful with great suggestions. The stunning card was named “one of the best one’s yet” by my dear friend. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. She even helped me format to my desired paperless invite (Green Envelope).

Literally a mom with a side-hustle in the basement. ;) I do all the things here! Designs in the shop are all my own work, it's me you're chatting with for customer service, I pack the notecard orders, etc etc etc.

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders
All printable designs can be customized any way you'd like! You don't have to use my sample wording, or even use it for the same event - just let me know what you'd like it to say!
I do a limited amount of from-scratch new custom designs - contact me with what you're looking for, and I'll see what I can do! :)
Custom printed notecards have a turn-around time of several weeks, I don't regularly offer them (but can design print-your-own).
I do NOT refund completed customized files. (I've already put in the time!) I can, however, make alterations at a later date if your event details have changed. :) Also, if your order is still in-progress or you haven't received your first proof, I may be able to do a partial refund if contacted promptly.
Gift wrapping and packaging
Notecards are always packed in plastic sleeves (for safe travels), tissue paper and cute string/yarn (for happiness), and ship in a sturdy cardboard mailer. I'm happy to include a gift note if you'd like, just let me know when ordering! :)
Designs
I can accommodate most design changes (color, font, etc) for an additional fee, contact me regarding details. :)
FONTS: Any you see in my shop can be used on other designs too! (I can often find something similar, but can't always use any specific font you request, depending on its terms of use.)
COLORS: Every screen and printer processes color differently. I do my best to ensure consistency, but your phone and my monitor and Kinko's printers will never be exact.
PHOTOS: Must be high enough resolution - send original unedited file whenever possible. Photos with watermark or photographer's logo cannot be used without permission from photographer.
IMAGES: Want to swap a heart for a star, add a bird to a branch, etc? I can look into it!
Proofs
I send review proofs for every customized order within 24-48 hours (often less), so you're able to review for any spelling corrections, information changes, etc. A few rounds of alterations are included in your original purchase price (and we can do more for a small fee if you have additional requests). Once approved, I'll email the print-ready final copy in whatever format/setup works best for your printing plans.
Legal/Copyright
I retain the rights to any and all design. Listings are for PERSONAL use only. You're welcome to use a purchased image to your heart's content, but you are NOT entitled to, for example, re-use the border and fill in different information for someone else's party. Custom designs may be re-worked (with info altered :) to sell in my shop at a later time.
I use a mixture of original content, paid-for images/tools, and publicly-available design resources. I do the BEST I can to ensure all design resources (font, brushes, textures, etc) I use are legal for commercial usage, but if you spotted one I goofed, please contact me and I'll happily fix! I've put links to some of my most frequently used design resources in the shop's profile.
Returns/Refunds
I cannot refund purchase of customized items/files. (I've already put in the time!) I can, however, make alterations at a later date if your event details have changed, and send you a new version. :) Also, if your order is still in-progress or you haven't received your first proof, I may be able to do a partial refund if contacted promptly.
For physical notecards, I may accept returns on regular-priced items - please contact me regarding your concerns.
