We always recommend to order in advance as spots fill up fast. At a minimum, we advise that you get in touch at least 6-8 months before your wedding. As soon as you have arranged details, contact us at your earliest convenience so we can secure you a spot within our schedule. We need to allow enough time for the design stage, printing and shipping, so the earlier you secure your spot, the better.

Save the dates, wedding invitation suite and ‘on the day’ stationery are considered as separate orders, and deposits will need to be paid for each.

This is based on personal preference, however we suggest the following:

Save the dates: once you have your date and location confirmed, we think it’s never too early to send out save the dates! However, at a minimum, we recommend approx. 9-12 months before the wedding and 12 months at the minimum for a destination wedding.

Wedding suite: approx. 3-6 months before wedding or earlier for a destination wedding.

We also recommend that the RSVP date is at least 6-8 weeks before the wedding to finalise numbers for on the day stationery. This might also depend on your venue as they might need numbers earlier.

Yes! Printed samples are available for purchase.

We order in quantities of 10. When you do your count, keep in mind that couples and families will only need one invitation. Therefore, account for number of households rather than number of individuals.

We strongly recommend to factor in an additional 10 for keepsake and last-minute guests. The cost to print an extra 10 to your current order is significantly lower compared to the cost of ordering only 10 in a new order due to high set up costs.

We do understand that guest counts fluctuate throughout the wedding planning process, which is why numbers do not have to be finalised until we are ready to send to print. If we haven’t yet reached the production stage and you need to amend the number of invitations you require, please let us know.

Unfortunately, once your order has reached the production stage, we cannot reduce or add to the quantity. For this reason, it is important that upon approval and finalising remaining payment, you are certain on the quantity ordered.

Once your deposit has been paid, your confirmed booking will be slotted into our schedule, depending on how far in advance you need your stationery. You will be contacted to submit your wording and commence the design process.

The design stage varies between different orders and is also dependant on the time of year. Once we have received your details, we will endeavour to be in touch with a digital mock-up of your design as soon as we can.

It is important to consider that design revisions and delay in responses and feedback will also delay the process.

Once you are 100% happy with your proofs and your stationery, your stationery will be sent to print.

Slightly overestimated timeframes (so we don’t disappoint):

• Digital printing: 5-6 business days + shipping
• Letterpress, foil or embossing: 14-15 business days + shipping

This does not include the design process.

Digital print orders: Please allow 4 weeks for design, printing + shipping.

Letterpress, foil + embossing orders: Please allow 6-8 weeks for design, printing + shipping.

For on-the-day stationery & signage: please order at a minimum of 8 weeks before your wedding. Any later we may not be able to accommodate.

Important to note:

• Orders are not confirmed and will not commence until we have received your deposit AND your wording.
• Our timeframes are a guide only. Dependent on the time of year and capacity at the time. It is important to note that design revisions and delay in responses, feedback, approval and payment may also delay your stationery order. It is your responsibility to order in advance.
• Bespoke orders generally take longer depending on what’s required.

Yes, please get in touch as soon as possible and we will endeavour to prioritise your order depending on capacity at the time. If this is confirmed possible, a rush order fee will incur.
