Invitations: By the Night of the 1st BUSINESS Day. M-F

Time Zone: Please take into consideration we are in the Mountain Time zone when your files are due. We will always send it by the end of the day MST. Sometimes this means a late night for me if I am working after my kids are in bed that day. (Please order a rush if you need it ASAP.)

Invitation Rush:
Within 12 hours (including weekends)

Party Packages:
By the Night of the 5th Business Day (MST)

Week Day E-mail Hours:
We will always respond to e-mails as quickly and efficiently as possible. Our standard response time during the week days is within 12-24 hours. 

Weekend E-mail Response Hours: 
In an effort to maintain a better work-life balance, weekend replies aren’t always within our standard turnaround time, and e-mails submitted after 7 pm MST Friday may be answered on the following Monday. I understand that needing help with printing and questions aren’t always limited to Monday through Friday, so neither is our help and support. However, I do try to give my family some undivided attention on the weekends, and I am respectful of the time our designers need for time with their families on the weekends as well. I know you understand so thank you!

I love that my job allows me to work from home to be with my children and I have all of my wonderful customers to thank for this. It has been an absolute pleasure to "meet" and work with so many wonderful people from around the world for the last 8 years. Thank you for supporting my business! -Renee

Coupon codes that are given can only be used one time and cannot be applied to custom designs or packages.

ORDER DELIVERY
All orders will be delivered via email to the email address provided when the order was placed.

The turnaround time for your order begins only once I receive ALL the information and photo (if applicable) that is needed for your design. Please keep this in mind and have everything ready to send when you place the order.

Once you have received your invitation you have the chance to look over it and see if you need any changes. I will make all these changes within Please keep in mind I don't work very much on the weekends as I reserve this time for family. If you request changes on a Friday, it may not be until Monday that you receive any revised files. For rush orders I will always try to make changes as quickly as possible, especially if it is my mistake. However, if they are changes you are requesting that are not a mistake I will send your order with changes made within 15 hours of receiving your e-mail. Please understand I have young children and I typically work at night when they are sleeping, so most orders are done at this time.

All files are sent in high resolution 300 dpi, nothing smaller. If it prints blurry or is low resolution, the problem lies within how it was downloaded and saved. Please be sure to NOT right click or drag and drop the attachment, this will compromise the resolution. You must select the download option and allow it to completely download to your computer, open the file and then save.

If you do not see an e-mail from us within our turnaround time (end of the next business day), please check your spam folder.

FAQ

HOW LONG DO YOU KEEP MY DESIGN FOR?
Due to the high volume of orders I receive I only keep your invitation order on file for 2 months and party packages for only 3 weeks (these take up a lot of space). PLEASE be sure to look over you order to ensure you do not need any changes made, save them and make a back-up copy of your final design(s), as I am unable to retrieve designs once they have been removed from my files. A new order will need to be placed if you would like a copy of the design.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO CONTACT YOU?
As a virtual business and parents of 5 noisy (but oh so sweet) little ones, we prefer to communicate via email or our chat window available on the website. This allows us to keep an accurate record of the correspondence between both parties and eliminates any confusion regarding what was discussed. Email also allows the design team to remain focused on the design projects we are currently working on. Please feel free to always e-mail us at dazzleexpressions@gmail.com and we will respond as soon as possible. 
 
CAN I GET MULTIPLE PROOFS IF I AM UNSURE WHICH PHOTO I WANT TO USE?
We will send you proofs with up to 2 different photo options to choose from for no extra charge.
 
IS IT REAL GLITTER ON THE DESIGNS?
Many of my designs have glitter or metallic foil patterns and textures on them. These patterns are part of the digital file and not real, but do look very realistic when printed. A tip I always give people is if you print on white pearl cardstock paper it really makes these elements pop and look even more real! 

CAN YOU SEND THE EDITABLE FILE TO ME OR SELL A TEMPLATE?
No, we do not send the original design file. Final designs are sent as flattened JPEG or PDF images only. We do not sell templates. All files sent to your are for personal use only and cannot be re-sold or edited.
 
WHAT RESOLUTION DO YOU NEED MY PHOTO TO BE IN?
Please be sure to send a high resolution photo to be added to the design you are purchasing. We are not responsible for invitations with blurry images. 

WHAT IS YOUR REFUND POLICY?

We do not offer refunds once a digital product has been designed and sent to you. This includes if the theme has changed, you want a different design, party is cancelled, etc. If you need a new invitation, another order must be placed. While we are responsible for the design itself...we are not responsible for printing errors, colors not printing correctly or mistakes in wording that were not caught by the customer. We strongly suggest triple checking and proof reading your invitation prior to printing. Any mistakes we make will gladly be changed ASAP and resent. Refunds will not be given when a mistake is made during the saving process or printing process of your design. All images are sent in high resolution. If an image prints blurry there was an error with the saving or printing process.

We strongly suggest printing a sample of your design. Due to the different screen resolutions on computer monitors, colors may vary on the final printed product.

Please note that bright colors like blues and greens will not print as vibrant as you see on your screen. Monitors have light behind the screen making colors appear brighter. For the brightest colors we recommend printing at a photo lab.
 
CAN YOU MAKE CHANGES TO ANY OF YOUR DESIGNS?
Most designs in my shop can be changed with new fonts, colors and wording, but please contact me prior to ordering to make sure the changes you'd like can be made. 
 
CAN CHANGES BE MADE AFTER I RECEIVE THE FINAL INVITATION?
Yes, of course! I understand that dates, times and venues often need to be changed and I am happy to make those adjustments for you. For all other color, photo, fonts or any other changes, I allow up to two free changes, and after that there will be an additional fee to continue making changes. 
 
DO YOU TAKE CUSTOM ORDERS?
Yes, I love creating custom designs! Custom invitations start at $15. I will send you a list of questions to make sure I know exactly what you are looking for. I will then create up to two invitation designs for you. On the invitation you choose I can make up to five changes and then after that there will be an additional fee for further changes. Not including changes to dates, times and venues. Please e-mail me with any questions you have!
