After your proofs have been approved changes may not be able to be made. Please refer to 5.0
5.3 It is in everyone's best interest for proofs to be thoroughly checked and checked again for spellings, particularly names or post codes and surprisingly wedding dates, years, so please take your time to ensure that no mistakes are made.
