FAQ's
Can I pay over the phone?
The most accurate and secure method of placing your order is via website. However, we understand that in certain situations it may be better for our customers to place their orders over the phone. Phone orders are accepted Monday - Friday, excluding holidays, 11am-7pm, Eastern standard time. Call our office at 360-694-5202 or Toll-Free 1-877-268-7117. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
Can I pay by check?
Yes. Please click the CHECK ORDER FORM link and follow the instructions.
Can I get a sample?
We carry several brands of save-the-date-cards and many of them provide the option to order a sample. Unfortunately, though, not all designs provide a sample option. Prices and delivery times vary. Please click on the design you wish to order and view the product information page for details.
Do the cards come with envelopes?
Yes. All of our cards, including pre-printed and do-it-yourself, come with matching envelopes. Please read the product description for detailed information.
Do you print return addresses on the envelopes?
Most of the brands we carry offer return address printing for a fee, but some do not. To determine if return address printing is available, please read the product description page for the design you wish to purchase.
Some of the brands we carry offer proofs for a small fee. A proof is a digital image of your final design that is sent to you via e-mail. If you order a proof, it typically takes 2-4 business days to receive. Please ensure that you check your e-mail inbox as well as your junk mail and / or bulk mail folders. We find that proofs are often erroneously delivered to the wrong folder. Your proof will come with detailed instructions and it will be necessary for you to reply with your approval for printing. Your order cannot be printed until we receive this approval. Do-it-Yourself cards obviously do not allow for proofs as you will have to create the design on your own computer. You will be able to determine if a proof is available by reading the product description for the item you wish to purchase.
Can I customize a design?
Yes, you may customize a design. The on-line order form will automatically display the text that is shown on the sample magnet. You may chose to keep the text the same and replace the names and date with your information. You may also delete all of the text and create your own customized card. Cards can be used for weddings, anniversaries or special events. If you decide to replace the wording, you will be responsible for ensuring that all spelling and punctuation are correct. We will not refund or replace an order that was submitted with errors. We advise that you scroll through the order form and carefully review the information before you submit the order and that you also review the confirmation e-mail that you will receive shortly after placing your order. If you are requesting significant modifications and proof is available to purchase, we highly recommend purchasing the proof. You may always request changes to the proof and updated proofs are free. We have graphic designers that will take the information you provide and place it into the design that you have chosen. We reserve the right to make spacing modifications to accommodate the text you have submitted.
Can I change the color of the font?
Some of the designs allow font color changes. Please review the product description page for the design you wish to purchase to see if color changes can be made. If changes are allowed, please write your detailed request in the "special instructions" box on the order form and our graphic designer will update your design. Click here to view available color options for all cards printed by New and Blue.
Can I change the font style?
We carry several different brands of save-the-date cards and many of the brands allow you to change the font. To determine if the font can be changed, please read the product description page for the design you wish to purchase. The New and Blue brand allows you to change the font on all of the designs but you will be responsible for e-mailing the Windows true type font file (.ttf) to our graphic designers if they do not already have access to the font you have requested. If you decide to order a New and Blue card, please write your request in the "special instructions" box on the order form and e-mail your font file to admin@newandblue.com. Please make sure that you write the name of the person who submitted the order on the e-mail so that we can match the request to the order.
Can I change the color of the paper?
Most of the brands we carry do not offer alternative paper colors. Our house brand, New and Blue, allows you to choose creamy white paper or ivory paper. All New and Blue orders will automatically be printed on our creamy white paper and will come with matching envelopes. If you wish to change the paper and envelopes to ivory, you will need to write your request in the "special instructions" box on the order form.
Can I add or delete text?
Text may be added or deleted via the on-line order form. If you wish to make changes, please delete the text that is displayed on the order form and replace it with the text you wish to have. You will be responsible for ensuring that your modifications are spelled properly and punctuated properly. Please do not write words in ALL CAPS unless you want it printed that way. We do not offer refunds or reprints on orders that were submitted with incorrect information.
Can I get a card for a bar mitzvah, anniversary, company party or other occasion?
Yes, you can modify the text on any of our designs to accommodate your event. Text may be added or deleted via the on-line order form. If you wish to make changes, please delete the text that is displayed on the order form and replace it with the text you wish to have. You will be responsible for ensuring that your modifications are spelled properly and punctuated properly. Please do not write words in ALL CAPS unless you want it printed that way.

Do you sell wedding invitations too?
Wedding invitations can be ordered via our partnership with Carlson Craft. Please visit http://newandblue.cceasy.com to view our large selection of wedding invitations and gifts. We offer our customers a 15% discount off the list price of Carlson Craft's designs and the discount will be applied at the end of the order process. Please email us at admin@newandblue.com to find out about ordering custom invitations.
Can I see a card before the order is printed?
Many of the designs on our website allow you to purchase a non-personalized sample so you can feel the weight of the card and inspect it up close. Unfortunately, none of the designs allow you to receive an actual card with your information printed on it. The designs are printed in large batches and it is impossible to print just 1 card. However, most of the designs allow you to purchase a "Proof" with your order. The proof is sent via e-mail in JPEG format and allows you to view the design and check for spelling and punctuation errors. There is typically a small fee to receive the proof and it can be ordered via the on-line order form. To determine if the design you wish to purchase offers the option of an e-mail proof, please read the product description for details. Please note... your credit card will be billed for your entire order, including the proof charge upon submitting the order. Our designers do not create proofs without payment in full being received first. You may request a cancellation after viewing your proof and the entire amount that was billed to your credit card will be refunded. Orders cannot be refunded after you have e-mailed an approval.
How long do proofs take to receive?
Proofs take 2-4 business days to receive. They are sent via e-mail and require you to respond with approval to have the order printed. The proof will be sent with detailed instructions so please read through the information carefully. A business day is Monday-Friday, 11am to 7pm, EST. We are closed on all US Postal Service Holidays.
I ordered a proof and need to make changes. How can I?
Your proof will be e-mailed with detailed instructions that will explain how to approve the design or how to request modifications. Please read the e-mail thoroughly. If you have received the proof and you request to receive an updated proof, please expect to wait 2-3 business days to receive the updated proof. Updated proofs for the New and Blue line can be requested at no additional charge.
What kind of printing is used?
The type of printing used on our cards varies from brand to brand. Please read the product description for details.
Will my cards look exactly like my proof?
Your order will look very similar to the proof that was sent. However, due to the wide variance of monitor settings we do not guarantee that the color that is displayed on your monitor will be the precise color of the final product.
How long will it take to receive my order?
Shipment times vary depending on the brand. Please review the product description page of the design you wish to purchase for more details. Some brands allow you to "RUSH" print and ship your cards for an additional fee.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship internationally to Australia, Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. All international shipments can be made via the order form. International orders do not come with shipment tracking and are subject to customs inspections, so please be prepared for delivery to take up to 3 weeks. International orders will be shipped via UPS or the US Postal Service, and rush delivery is not available. Shipping charges on this website do NOT include possible taxes or customs charges that may be added onto delivery. Additional duties are the responsibility of the customer.
Can I check on the status of my order?
Order status cannot be checked via the website. Please review the product description page for an estimate of proof, printing and shipment times. If you have not received your proof or order and the delivery window has been exceeded please carefully review your inbox, junk mail and bulk mail folders for an e-mail from our company. Most of the status requests we receive are initiated because an e-mail was erroneously directed to a junk mail folder instead of the inbox. If you have checked all of your e-mail folders and still not received your proof or shipping notification and the time frame has been exceeded, please send your e-mail to admin@newandblue.com. Please provide as much information as possible with your request and include your name, order date and order number so that a member of our staff can quickly reply.
