Our Story
We are a wife and husband team who launched our own website,
PaperfishDesigns.com, after having trouble finding cool, affordable
handmade invitations for our own wedding.
Shortly after we launched Paperfish Designs, two of our gay siblings got
married, and we realized how few invitation options existed that were
really aimed at the gay and lesbian community. As the campaign for
marriage equality began to gain steam, we launched PrideVite to fill the
growing need for LGBT couples looking for original, hip options. We are
proud to support gay and lesbian couples as they recognize and
celebrate their lives together.
Our Invitations
Each of our invitations is created by hand using materials imported from
around the world. Your invitations will arrive fully assembled; all you
need to do is seal the outer envelopes and drop them in the mail! We
can even mail them for you. We recommend sending out your
invitations between six and eight weeks before your event.

our gallery page.
Custom Orders
If you like our designs but don't see exactly what you want, we'd love
to work with you to create a unique design. You can use our Custom
Orders page to tell us what you've got in mind. Our design fee
depends on the complexity of the order. In many cases, we can
exchange colors or patterns you see on the website for free.
Payment
We use PayPal for all of our transactions to ensure your privacy and
security. We do require full payment at the time of purchase. We also
sell samples of any of our lines for only $3.95, plus postage.
Postage
Many of our invitations can be mailed at the current U.S. Postal Service
rate for letters 1 ounce or less (currently 42 cents), but some of our
designs, such as the square invitations, require more postage. Be sure
to take your invitations to the post office to determine correct postage.
Alternatively, we will be happy to stamp your outer envelopes or RSVP
envelopes for 15 cents per envelope, plus the cost of postage. If you're
in a rush, we can even drop your invitations in the mail for you.
Shipping
We carefully package all orders and mail them to you using the shipping
method you select during checkout. A typical order of 100 invitations
and thank you cards costs between $10 and $15 for ground shipping,
between $20 and $25 for priority, and between $40 and $50 for
express.
Delivery Time
Please allow one week between the time you place your order to the
time your proof is ready. We will ship your invitations between 2 and 3
weeks after you approve your proof, depending on the size of the
order.
Changes and Returns
We know how important your special day is, and we strive to make each
of our handmade invitations perfect. In order to make sure that your
invitations look just the way you want, please carefully review your
online proof to ensure that all the information you've sent us is correct,
such as dates and spellings. We are happy to make any changes
necessary before you have confirmed your proofs. Once you have
confirmed your proofs, we can no longer make changes.
Addressing
We can print return addresses on envelopes or RSVP cards for a $20
set-up charge, plus 40 cents per envelope. We can also print guests'
addresses on envelopes for a $40 set up charge, plus 40 cents per
envelope. Addresses must be in an Excel spreadsheet and can be
e-mailed to us at orders@paperfishdesigns.com. Please make sure that
all names and addresses are correct; we can't be responsible for any
incorrect information we receive. At this time, we do not offer
calligraphy or hand-addressing.
