My Sunflower Expressions

Because your order is customized and want to get as much info as possible to make the perfect invitation for you, we suggest calling in your order so that we can get all of the details correct. We will ask you to pick the paper colors, ribbon colors, wording, etc and then we create your product from there. We send you one complete invitation, exactly as specified, for your final approval. (make changes if you'd like) After the approval, we will start the production. We stay in email or phone contact at each step, so no need to worry! You can also email an order or question and we can call you when it's convenient for you.

We are currently working on the shopping pages of our website, but until then you may call in your order and we will send you a Paypal invoice for payments. Please call (541)607-9009 or send an email to orders@mysunflowerexpressions.com

Samples are available for any of the cards on our website. If you are interested in ordering a sample ($5 each including postage), send an email to orders@mysunflowerexpressions.com and give your name, address, phone number and the name of the invitation sample. Also include any changes you wish to see such as paper color, ribbon color, etc. We will send you a paypal invoice. When you place an order, the cost of the samples will be deducted from your invitation order.

Invitations should be ordered at least three months before the wedding. All of your wedding details, such as date, time, approx. number of attendees and locations should be confirmed prior to placing your order.

Typically, wedding invitations should be mailed 6-8 weeks prior to the response date for a formal function and 3 weeks prior for a very informal wedding.

A save the date card is typically sent anywhere from 3 to 12 months in advance of the wedding. It is not an actual invitation to the wedding, but it should include the pertinent information, such as the bride and groom's names, the wedding date and the location. For a wedding to which many people will be traveling, it is helpful to include suggested hotel names and numbers, as well as airline suggestions. You have a choice to add a magnet to the back for guests to place the cards at home as a reminder of the event.

Blank envelopes are included in the price for all invitations. Some invitations have inner & outer envelopes. Refer to the specific design for details. Your outer envelopes will be printed with your return address on the back. We will use the same font as the invitation unless otherwise stated by you. If you do not want the return address printed, please let us know. Your order will always include 5 extra envelopes (not invitations) because we know mistakes happen when addressing them.

After placing your order, an actual proof will be mailed to you, using your desired text and typestyle, paper and ribbon colors, etc. You will be able to see and feel the paper & materials before giving the final approval before production starts. This will be mailed within 1 week of your order. If there is a rush order, color photos can be emailed to speed the approval process.

We recommend that you order 10-20 more invitations than you think you need. You will need extra invitations for any mistakes and last minute additions to your guest list. It's also nice to save a few as keepsakes! Your order will always include 5 extra envelopes (not invitations) because we know mistakes happen when addressing them. To place a smaller additional order after your initial order has been completed, let us know how many more you need and we will get them to you as soon as possible (usually 1 week). Just email or call us!

Sure! You can order just a few or as many as you need! Most companies only sell in increments of 25. Why be forced to buy 75 when you really need 52? (Exception: Envelopment products have a minimum of 10 and increments of 10)

The invitation and enclosure cards are placed in the envelope in order of size and importance. The largest enclosure cards are placed closest to the invitation. When enclosure cards of the same size are used, the card that is most important for your guest to see would be placed on the top of the ensemble. When you place the invitation and enclosure cards into the envelope, they should all be facing toward you, so that when you remove them from the envelope, you are able to easily read all pieces of the ensemble. While holding the envelope so that you are looking at the back of it, we recommend that you stuff the envelope in the following order:
1. Invitation
2. Reply Envelope
3. Reply Card (tucked under reply envelope flap)

If you are using "double envelopes", you would place the invitation ensemble into the "inside" unsealed envelope. You would then write your guest's names on the front of this envelope. This envelope is then inserted into the "outside" gummed envelope. The front of the "inside" envelope should be facing you and inserted into the back of the "outside" envelope.

TIP: Take a sample of your entire invitation -- completely assembled -- to the post office to be weighed to ensure proper postage.

Because of our location in Oregon, all orders placed within the United States are exempt from sales tax.

Yes, all you need to do is address the envelopes (or done by us for an additional fee), insert rsvp card & envelope (if ordered) into outer envelope, stamp them, and mail.

Tip: Square envelopes cost more to ship. We suggest that you bring an assembled invitation to your Post Office to have the exact postage determined. It is also a good idea to have them hand-canceled instead of going through a postage machine.

Although this is extremely rare, if any changes to the order are necessary, contact My Sunflower Expressions as soon as possible. We will do our best to accommodate you. For example, if you changed your mind on the ribbon color after you received your order, we can replace the ribbon for you if you ship your order back (there is a charge for re-shipping & $25/hour production time) OR we can ship you new ribbon and instruct you how to change it out yourself. Contact us to see what we can do to make it right.
