Common Questions
Q
How Long does the
process take from
start to finish
A
We normally take about two weeks from when we take your order to when you’re picking up your invites.
There are a few factors that can affect this timeline, they are :
How long it takes to approve the proofs, if you require a printed proof or any specialty printing (letterpress, foiling, laser cut cards).
Q
How does this
all work?
Part 1
A
Our process is tried and tested. Have a look through our beautiful invitations or send us some designs you really love. You’ll also need to let us know what you’ll need (i.e. invites, detail cards etc.) and how many.
We’ll then send you a quote. If you accept then all we need from you is your wording and a deposit.
Q
How does this all work?
Part 2
A
From there, we do up a digital proof for you. If you have any changes or notice any errors we make these few changes and then either send the design to print or do up a printed proof for you (see the next Q).
From there, it only takes a few days and your beautiful designs will be in your hands!
Q
I’m a very visual
person, is there a way
to print a copy first?
A
Definitely! We do this all the time, but we understand that you do not – meaning you often need to see the design in person to know whether or not it’s what you wanted.
We can do up a printed proof on request (these will incur additional costs) so that you can see exactly how the finished products will look.
Q
I like some of your
designs but i don’t like
the colours / graphics,
can i have something
else?
A
You definitely can – let us know what designs you liked and what it is that you would prefer and our talented designer can create it for you!
Q
I already have
a design, can you
print it for me?
A
Because we are a part of a large scale printery, it means that everything we offer is designed and printed in-house. Meaning if you send us through your designs, we can print it for you.
Q
do you do ’embossed’ invitaitons?
A
Yes we do! You can either have your invitations ’embossed’ (where the ink or image is raised), or ‘letterpressed’ (where the ink or image is pressed in).
This is a beautiful handmade, very traditional way of printing which uses our 100 year old Heidelberg machine.
Q
Do you do order of service, menus, etc?
A
We do indeed – check out our reception stationery here. For a range of what we have on offer! We personalise these designs to fit seamlessly with your wedding day. So have a look through some of the designs we’ve done previously, or let us know your ‘vibe’ and we will create something just for you.
Q
Are Save the Dates Essential?
A
No definitely not!
Often, bride’s will send out save the dates if they have lots of guests that live in another city, state or country. Often these are sent more than a year out from the wedding so that these people can spend that time saving and planning their lives around your big day!
Q
What should we
put on our save
the dates?
A
Your average save the date features three main things:
Your names
The wedding date
The wedding venue
But if you have lots of travelling guests, we recommend putting any crucial information on the back (i.e. accommodation suggestions, whether kids are invited or not, etc.)
Q
When should we send out our wedding invitations?
A
Traditionally, invitations would go out about 3 months before the wedding – however we’ve now found venue’s are requiring numbers approximately 4-6 weeks beforehand, meaning it’s becoming more popular to send out invitations around 6 months out from the wedding.
Q
How do we avoid uninvited guests?
A
Our biggest suggestion is to print the guest’s names onto the invitations – which we offer free of charge!
Other options are to make sure the names are clearly written on the envelopes. You can also include some simple wording in your details card to confirm this. Let us know if you need some help with this, our experienced staff always have some helpful ideas.
