Our printed Reserved signs are a great way to show your guests where to go (or not to go)! Each one is printed onto your choice of smooth 330gsm White card or onto our Premium 350gsm Cream lightly textured card. These small signs are available in sizes from small A7 to A5.  If you have had invitations or other stationery from us with a custom design, we can match them. This listing is for a reserved sign with minimal text only.

The one question everybody asks us is “Can we change x, y or z?”. The answer is YES! We fully customise everything so if you’d prefer to word your signs differently from those pictured, just tell us when placing your order. Need the font or design tweaking? Just let us know when ordering. A reserved sign requires less editing than individual signs so please use our other listings for anything more complicated.

VARIATIONS EXPLAINED
CARD COLOUR: Choose from a smooth white 330gsm card or our lightly textured Premium Cream card. The beautiful pale creamy coloured Premium card is noticeably thicker at 350gsm and has a wonderful lightly textured finish.

CARD SIZE: Choose the size you would like your finished cards to be and whether you’d like them to be flat or folded. Please see the Sizing tab for sizes and measurements. Available in sizes ranging from a small A7 through to a flat A4 (see Sizing tab for full info).

CORNER OPTIONS: Have us round the corners for you or leave them square.

ORIENTATION
You can opt to have your Reserved signs portrait (vertical) or landscape (horizontal). 

INDIVIDUALLY PERSONALISED: Choose whether you’d like all the signs to be identical or if you’d like any of them to be individually personalised with a name and/or title. If it’s a single name or title on each card, you can provide a simple list in an email or Word document without any preceding bullets/dashes/numbers etc. We need to be able to copy and paste the list in full. Please do not write the word Reserved again as that is already part of the design. We just need your variable text. If you require a name AND a title on separate lines on each card, please provide a spreadsheet with the names in one column and the corresponding titles in the second column. Please email us for a template if you’re unsure.

ACTUAL EVENT DATE: Please tell us the actual date of your event (not an earlier date)! This date is important as it helps us to keep track of the order and ensure you’ve selected the correct shipping option. Don’t worry, you can also tell us the date you’d actually like to receive it by, even if it’s months in advance!

WHEN DO YOU NEED THIS BY?
As well as the event date, please tell us the date you would like this to be delivered by but only if you genuinely must receive them earlier. Please don’t put a random early date. We always process ASAP anyway. :)
We understand that sometimes customers travel to the wedding venue in advance or perhaps you’re just super organised and want to be sure you have everything well before the event. This date is important if it differs from the actual event date as it helps us to keep track of the order and ensure it will arrive in plenty of time. Please remember to take processing and shipping times into consideration when selecting your postage option during checkout. Please allow an additional 2 - 3 weeks for 2nd class delivery AFTER processing time and your order has been sent to print (we all know how post can be delayed).

PROOFS: If you’re simply having the basic wording with no personalised text, you can save time by sending them straight to print. If you’re happy with having the shown text replaced with your own in the same layout and font, you can also save time by having them sent straight to print. If you’ve made changes or just aren’t sure, you can opt to have proofs drawn up (please allow an extra 3 days for processing). Please note that if we are unsure about the information you’ve sent, we reserve the right to draw up proofs regardless.

YOUR WORDING
This is where you write out the text for your card(s) and any other notes for your order. Alternatively, you can email us afterwards at contact@vintageprints.co.uk. Whichever is easiest for you.

PROCESSING
Please try and allow at least 2 - 3 weeks for any amendments, proofs, printing, and delivery. If you need a really quick turnaround, please select the Priority Processing option from the first checkout page as well as a faster shipping option (courier is the fastest as Royal Mail is NOT guaranteed in any way). Please see our information on Delivery for further details. Please contact us in advance if you are unsure of the timescale.

Please send us an email with all the details you would like on your sign(s). All text (spelling and punctuation) should be typed exactly as you would like it to appear as we will copy and paste. If requested, we will create electronic proofs for you so that you have plenty of opportunity to make changes. Nothing goes to print until you are happy with it, and we do not limit the number of changes you can make to your electronic proofs within reason.

If you have any other requirements, please drop us an email and we will get back to you as soon as possible with a quote.

If you would like other individual signs, please use one of our Small Signs A5, A4 & A3 listings. This listing is for Reserved signs only!

All sizes are approximate:
*(A7 approx. 7.4 x 10.5cm/Folded = A6 folded in half)
A6 approx. 10.5 x 14.8cm/Folded = A5 folded in half
5x7” approx. 12.7 x 17.78cm/Folded = 10x7” folded in half
A5 approx. 14.8cm x 21cm/Folded = A4 folded in half
**A4 approx. 21 x 29.7cm, flat

*If you would like a mini A7 size, please order the A6 and add a note requesting it to be trimmed down to A7.
**If you would like a large flat A4 size, please order the A5 Folded and add a note requesting we leave it as a flat A4.

Folded cards are made from double-size cards and will have the same finished size as listed above. For example, an A6 Folded card is an A5 card folded in half.

Select the type of sign you would like by selecting the relevant options from the drop-down menus. Either include the information for them with the order or email it to us afterwards at your convenience. If you are providing names and/or titles, please read the instructions on the Product Information tab to ensure you send them in the correct format. If you need 4 cards that say Bridesmaid for example, you must write the word Bridesmaid 4 times in your list. Please do not add annotations after the names as they will print.

Once we receive your order a member of our design team will only create electronic proofs if these have been requested. Otherwise, they will go straight to print using the information you have supplied. If you require proofs, they are usually drawn up within 2 – 3 working days. The proofs will be emailed to you. Unlike many companies, we do not limit the number of changes you can make to your proofs within reason. Once you are happy with them, let us know and we will send them to print. If after placing an order you haven’t heard from us within 3 working days, please get in touch.

We normally print an order within 3 - 6 working days after you have approved any proofs.
