WHAT DOES IT COST?
Every wedding is different so there is not an absolute answer, especially for bespoke designs. Once we have had an initial consultation with you and have an idea of what you want and what your budget is, we can then work from this to provide you with an estimate. Some of our own designs show a cost estimate based on current prices for cardstock and other embellishments, which will give you an idea of what items will cost, but these prices may change slightly, depending on what is available from suppliers at the time. We always endeavour to acquire the best price for the components required for your stationery.
WHEN SHOULD I SEND OUT MY INVITATIONS?
Save the dates should be sent anywhere from 8-12 months before your wedding date. Invitations should be sent approximately 8-10 weeks before your wedding date. Keep in mind that if you have guests that will be travelling long distances to attend or if you are having a destination wedding, they should be sent out even earlier to allow guests enough time to book accommodation and make travel arrangements.
HOW MANY INVITATIONS DO I NEED TO ORDER?
It is important to note that you do not need an invitation for each person – you only need 1 invitation per household. It is also advisable to order a few extras for any last minute additions, one for the vicar/celebrant, one for the photographer and videographer, and a few for keepsakes.
WHAT ABOUT ASSEMBLY?
Your invitations and envelopes will be packaged in separate groups. Some invitations such as laser cut pockets with stacked insert cards will come assembled. Additional pieces such as wax seals and belly bands may be placed separately in the package if they are too thick and might damage the invitations if assembled.
WHEN SHOULD I ORDER STATIONERY ITEMS FOR THE DAY?
Order of services should be ordered as soon as your ceremony details have been finalised. Order of the day and programs should be ordered as soon as you have finalised the ceremony and reception details. On the day items such as place cards, table names/numbers and table plans need to be designed and ordered after all the responses have been returned.
WHEN SHOULD I SEND OUT THANK YOU CARDS?
Thank you cards should be sent within 2-3 weeks of receiving the gift. It's a good idea to order your thank you cards at the same time as the invitations so that you have them on hand just in case you receive gifts prior to the wedding. If you prefer to send all your thank you cards out after the wedding, or have thank you cards that include a wedding photo, then these should be sent out 3-4 weeks after the wedding.
