The provided source material details the services and pricing structures offered by an online stationery design company, Greetings Island, focusing on wedding invitations. The information outlines a range of design options, including free digital templates and premium services, alongside professional printing capabilities. While the query specifically requested information regarding "free sample acrylic wedding invitations," the source data does not mention the material "acrylic." Instead, it focuses on digital and paper-based invitation solutions. The company provides an extensive library of designs catering to various cultural and stylistic preferences, with pricing that ranges from free options to premium memberships and professional printing services. The source material emphasises a DIY approach for those preferring a virtual experience, alongside options for traditional physical printing and mailing. The availability of free samples is primarily directed towards digital designs and templates rather than physical material samples of specific substrates like acrylic.
The company offers a "Premium membership" that unlocks access to over 5,000 designs across all categories. This membership is priced at $3.49 per month or $26.99 per year, which calculates to an effective rate of $2.25 per month when paid annually. For users seeking a completely cost-free solution, the platform provides free, online invitation templates. These allow users to download, email, and share invitations directly via social media or messaging apps. The company describes this option as ideal for "DIY (and green!) enthusiasts" who prefer a virtual experience.
For those requiring physical items, professional printing services are available. The pricing for professional printing with free shipping is structured as follows: 10 invitations with envelopes cost $18.80; 100 invitations cost $1.34 each; 200 invitations cost $1.24 each; and 400 invitations cost $1.18 each. Additionally, there is an option to remove watermarks from digital downloads for a fee of $8.99, and premium digital invitations are available for $8.99.
The design catalogue is extensive, featuring hundreds of graphic designs with custom fonts and colour schemes. Themes range from classic and traditional to modern and minimalist, including specific styles such as floral, rustic, and boho. The company also caters to specific cultural and religious identities, offering selections for Indian, Chinese, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Spanish, and Mexican weddings, among others. The invitation sizes available for download and professional printing include Portrait 5”x7”, Landscape 7”x5”, and Square 5”x5”. The orientation options are portrait, landscape, and square.
Regarding the content of the invitations, the source material notes that a standard wedding invitation set includes the invitation, RSVP, and envelope. However, full sets can also include save-the-date cards, bridal shower invitations, party invitations, dinner invitations, and thank you cards. The company provides guidance on addressing invitations, suggesting professional methods such as addressing families generally, couples specifically, or individuals with "plus a guest." They also advise highlighting whether children are invited by specifying "adults only" or similar notations.
A unique feature mentioned is the ability to include a QR code on invitations. This allows guests to respond digitally by scanning the code, eliminating the need for a physical RSVP letter. This digital RSVP option is part of the "Create your event page" feature, which offers a full event management service including reminders. The company offers a "full quality invitation experience" and encourages the digital option for sustainability reasons. They also offer a guide to invitation wording for those unsure of what to write.
The company guarantees satisfaction with a "100% guarantee" on delivered products, though the specifics of the return process are not detailed in the provided text. The source material does not contain information regarding free physical samples of acrylic invitations or specific mail-in sample programmes for wedding stationery. The "free sample" aspect appears to refer to the availability of free digital templates and the ability to preview designs online before purchasing premium services or printing.
Design and Customisation Options
The platform provides a robust set of tools for customising wedding invitations. Users can choose between professionally designed options or use an "invitation maker" to design invitations from scratch. This DIY tool allows for customisation of fonts, colours, stickers, and photos. The emphasis is on creating a "tailor-made" invitation that serves as a significant keepsake.
The design process is described as easy, with an international team of stationary designers curating colour schemes and fonts. The availability of themes ensures that couples can find a design that matches their wedding aesthetic. For those looking for specific cultural relevance, the "catered selections" ensure that invitations are appropriate for various ethnic and religious backgrounds.
