A: Yes and No. No, we can't "copy" other's designs per se (that is illegal), but there is a way around that. You can describe what you want us to do (what you liked on their example).

We will then make a proof for you based on your requests, which will probably be close to what you want. You can help us tweak it bit by bit by going through the proofing process.

This way neither of us break the law, and the announcements are truly customized to you.

Most customers who wanted a design copied, end up with something more suited to them.
