NOW TAKING BOOKINGS FOR 2025 – 26
When you place an order to purchase products from Lavender Avenue Wedding Invitations & Stationery, you are offering to purchase goods subject to these terms and conditions. After you place your order, you should receive an e-mail from us confirming that we have received your order.
In these Terms and Conditions “we” and “us” mean Lavender Avenue and “you” means you, the customer. These Terms and Conditions together with your Order constitute the entire Contract between us and you for the supply of Products. No other Terms and Conditions will apply.
To order your wedding stationery with us you need to book a production slot. Slots are based on the calendar months and include 30 days when we work at your order and at the end of which you get your order.
You can secure the production slot with £50 non-refundable booking fee which will be eventually deducted from your order total. Once you’re booked in you’ll receive a confirmation email with further details and form to fill out with your wording details and choices. You will then receive a digital proof in the first week of the month you’re booked in for and once it’s approved we will prepare one invitation to show you the final effect.
Booking a separate slots for ‘on the day’ stationery (table plan, place cards, table numbers, order of service etc.) is necessary if you are not ordering your items in a package.
We take bookings only 6 months in advance*. This is how long we can guarantee the quote we give you when you book a slot.
However, you can still secure a production slot for later than those 6 months. In that case £50 booking fee (non-refundable) will secure only a time for your order in our diary, not the quote, which may be adjusted before the balance is due.
Every quote is custom-tailored. All of the prices presented on the website are for our standard designs. You can customise the design to your specification (extra embossed envelopes, wax seal, card type etc) which may alter the prices.
All prices given are in UK Pounds Sterling.
Quotes offered are only valid for 30 days from the date of issue or from the date of the email/message, after which time contact us for new pricing . Once you’ve made a booking the prices stay frozen.
We reserve the right to end promotions early. In the event that two offers are run simultaneously, they cannot be combined.
Payment must be made in full 10 days before your production slot commences.
If the balance is not paid in full till the 20th of preceding month and if we don’t hear from you then unfortunately we will have to remove you from our client list and release your production slot.
We accept payments by debit or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Maestro) through Stripe – a secure payment facility (we do not have access to your card details), bank transfer, PayPal, ApplePay or GooglePay.
We will send you PayPal invoice to your email address – you don’t need to have a PayPal account though, it can be paid by credit or debit card. Alternatively we can send you the bank details with appropriate reference if you prefer to pay by a bank transfer.
All our products are handmade, cut, stuck and put together by hand. They are therefore never 100% uniform.
Although we try our best to show you colours we offer, actual shades may vary on different screen monitors. In addition, shade variations occasionally occur in different stock batches.

You can order additional invitations anytime you want. However, we can not guarantee the previous price and we won’t honour any discounts and bonuses added to original order.
When ordering under 20 extra invitations you don’t need to book a slot but there is a flat fee of £20 on the top of the price of invitations.
If ordering 20 and over invitations it will require a slot booking as it’s treated as a new order. If there is no available slots at the nearest time, we offer Priority Service which is additional 50% of your order quote (with 1-2 weeks turnaround).
You can cancel your booking within 24 hours without any reason and a full refund of booking fee will be given.
If you want to cancel before the start of production slot month you will receive a full refund of any payments made minus £50 non-refundable booking fee.
For cancellation during the production slot month there is a 25% cancellation fee or £50 booking fee for orders under £200. Cancellation is only available until you approve the digital proofs.
Please review carefully the product customisation and printing capabilities prior to placing an order. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us before placing an order.
If you need to cancel the rest of your package after receiving some part of it, we will recount the quote and subtract the value of sent products (without any discounts). Depending on the work done at the time of cancellation, we will keep 25% of its value as a cancellation fee, or we will refund you the whole quote minus booking fee if you haven’t receive a proof yet.
Due to the custom nature of our stationery, we offer:
To be eligible for refund or reprint you must first return the defective product to us.
You have 14 days to notify us of an issue regarding a delivery. Please open and inspect your invitations in detail and notify us immediately if there are any issues. Claims outside of the 14 days’ period will not be considered.
We highly recommend all customers order samples of our invitations before placing an order to ensure you are completely happy with the quality and appearance of our invitations. Alternatively, after purchase an order and wording confirmation we can send you one invitation (or other item) before completing all order for you to check the colours and quality. Please remember we do this on request only basis.
Refunds can take up to 5 business days depending on your payment methods.
You have statutory rights against us and any warranty applicable to an item is additional to those rights.
