Yes — we ship custom wedding signage and personalized goods anywhere in the U.S. upon request. Whether you’re a former Phoenix local now planning from across the country, or you simply fell in love with our work from afar, your custom pieces can be designed with you remotely, produced here in the Valley, and shipped straight to your door.
At The Details and Story Co., we work with couples all over Arizona — from Phoenix and Scottsdale to Sedona and Tucson — and with destination couples planning from out of state. So this question comes up a lot, and we love answering it. Here’s everything you need to know before you order.
What can ship — and what stays in Arizona
Anything custom-made or personalized can ship nationally. That includes welcome signs, bar signs, UV-printed acrylic pieces, linen and lace signs, menus, programs, program fans, name and place cards, acrylic and wood name plates, luggage tags, and other personalized goods. If we made it just for you, it can travel to you.
Two things stay within Arizona: our rental pieces and our delivery, setup, and pickup services. Rentals need to come home to us, and our setup team works at Arizona venues only. If you’re marrying outside Arizona, we’ll focus your order on custom-made pieces — which, honestly, many couples prefer anyway, because they become keepsakes you get to keep long after the last dance.
How does the design process work if I’m not local?
Beautifully, and mostly from your phone. You share your vision — Pinterest boards, color palettes, your invitation suite, anything that captures the feeling you’re going for — and we design digital proofs for you to review. Nothing goes into production until you’ve approved the final artwork, so you see exactly what you’re getting before it’s made. Distance doesn’t change the level of care; it just changes how the finished pieces reach you.
And the details we can pack into shipped pieces go far beyond flat printing. Our raised-texture UV printing brings detail to life — the fur on a couple’s pet, the salt rim on a margarita, the orange-rind garnish on a cocktail. We also offer laser engraving on vow books, luggage tags, journals, champagne flutes, wine bottles, charcuterie boards, wood bottle openers, and more — all of which ship wonderfully.
How far in advance should I order?
Turnaround depends on complexity. Simple custom signs — like a signature drink sign — can be designed, produced, and shipped within two days of artwork approval. Mid-complexity items like menus, table numbers, and welcome signs typically take about seven days. Fully fabricated pieces, such as a custom-built seating chart or escort display, can take several weeks. If you’re shipping out of state, we recommend adding a comfortable buffer for transit time so your pieces arrive with peace of mind to spare, not a race against the calendar.
What does shipping custom signage cost?
Rather than quote a number that goes stale, here’s what genuinely drives the cost: the materials you choose (thick, durable acrylic — clear, frosted, or colored — versus fabric, mirror, or paper goods), the size of each piece, quantity, and design complexity, plus the packaging and carrier costs for the size and weight of your order. Larger acrylic pieces cost more to pack safely than a box of place cards, for example. Current pricing for our work lives on our services page at detailsandstory.com/services, and we’ll quote your shipping alongside your custom order so there are no surprises.
What if I’m a destination couple marrying in Arizona?
Then you get the best of both worlds. You can plan everything remotely, and because your wedding is here in our home state, the full menu opens up: rental pieces, our detail and decor rental packages, and delivery, setup, and venue pickup as add-ons — so your signage appears at your Arizona venue without you lifting a finger, and disappears afterward without a garage full of decor following you home. We’ve styled the details at venues across the Valley, from Lindsay Grove to The Wigwam, and we travel statewide, including Sedona and Tucson.
The wrap-up
So yes — wherever you are in the country, we can bring your vision to life and ship it right to you. Custom signage and personalized goods travel nationally; rentals and setup stay here in Arizona. Start with your inspiration, give yourself a little lead time for the more intricate pieces, and let us handle the rest. That’s affordable luxury, delivered — literally.
Frequently asked questions
Do you ship rental signage or decor packages outside Arizona?
No — rental pieces and our delivery, setup, and pickup services are available only within Arizona. For out-of-state couples, we focus on custom-made signage and personalized goods, which ship anywhere in the U.S. and become keepsakes you get to keep.
Are custom shipped items refundable if I change my mind?
Custom-made items are non-refundable — once you approve the final artwork, your pieces go into production. That said, if a print error occurs that wasn't part of your approved artwork, we absorb the cost of reprinting.
What materials ship best for wedding signage?
Thick, durable acrylic — including frosted and colored options — travels very well when packed properly, and linen and lace signs, paper goods, and engraved keepsakes are all easy to ship. We'll recommend the best materials for your design and your timeline.
Can you ship personalized goods like place cards and menus, not just signs?
Absolutely. Menus, programs, program fans, name and place cards, name plates, luggage tags, and other personalized goods all ship nationally, along with custom signage.
I live out of state but I'm getting married in Arizona — can you still deliver and set up at my venue?
Yes! Because your wedding is in Arizona, you can use our full offerings: custom pieces, rentals, our detail and decor packages, and delivery, setup, and pickup as add-ons at your Arizona venue — all planned with you remotely.
