We recommend ordering your stationery around 3-6 months prior to the big day. Exactly when will depend on several things, including if it is a destination wedding, the requirements of your RSVP date (dependent on your venue and caterers), and the number of guests you have.
Generally speaking, we suggest you post your invitations 2-3 months before the wedding, with RSVP dates approximately one month before to allow time for you to chase anyone you haven’t heard back from.
If you know the date of your wedding well in advance, or you are having a destination wedding, we suggest giving your guests some notice by sending Save-the-Date cards.
We absolutely can! We would happily chat to you and help bring your ideas to life – our limit is your imagination.
Please note that custom designs may take up to 2 weeks to design and also may incur a small design fee. Please contact us for more information.
Our business is home based, currently in a small town in southern NSW (we’re moving back to Melbourne soon!). We do however ship nation-wide and will gladly send through multiple photos to assist you with your choices.
We suggest you count mailing addresses and then add an extra 5-10 invitations to account for any last minute additions or guests who lose their invitation.

The short version, is YES! Most of our invitations come standard with address labels too!
The primary invitation envelope, when ordering a wedding invitation, comes with our unique Luxe labels, including a return address on the reverse.
Other invitations (and all RSVP envelopes) usually come with a matte, clear sticker address label. There are some exceptions to this (ie. Save the Date envelopes), so if you’re unsure, check the product listing or contact us – we’re always happy to assist.
You may opt to have a white label instead (just notify us when booking).
For an additional fee, you may also choose to have a return address label on the reverse.
Of course!! If you would like us to take the stress away for you and post your invitations direct to your guests (with any additional invitations posted to you) then simply contact us prior to placing your order.
Our invitation orders have a minimum 2 week turn around time, and generally, the average is 3-4 weeks. The time taken to create your order includes communication with you relating to your wording and design, then developing and waiting for approval on digital proofs, ordering stock and special papers and embellishments where required, in addition to printing, cutting and assembling your order. Finally, no order can be dispatched until full payment is received, so we suggest that payment for your order be prompt to eliminate unnecessary delays.
We aim to complete each job as quickly as possible, but pride ourselves on quality. Our products are handmade and not mass produced, and therefore time is required to ensure our quality standard is maintained. We will keep you updated throughout the process and are always available via email or phone to discuss your requirements.
Priority orders are often available, however do attract an additional fee.
If you miscalculated invitations and require additional, unfortunately your order will be treated as a new order and you will loose any bulk discounts applied initially. We therefore suggest, that you count carefully and finalise your guest list promply to avoid any errors.
We have a guest list template available that can help you organise your list. Simply contact us if you would like us to send you a copy.
Your invitations will be packaged pre-assembled but where you select guest name personalisation, will not be in their envelopes. Your package will include your envelopes (labelled if you select this option) and invitations with your approved artwork design, ribbons and embellishments secured (if relevant) ready for you to put together into the envelopes and post to your guests.
This is done so that you can ensure the right invitation is sent to the right person.
Our invitation orders are shipped via standard Australia Post Parcel Post at a flat fee of $20.00, including tracking and signature upon delivery. The tracking number will be provided to you. As a signature on delivery is required we recommend having your order posted somewhere it can be signed for during business hours, or it will be sent to your local post office for collection.
Postage for cards, save the dates, some accessories and prints are dependent on your order and will be calculated accordingly.
Australia Post Express Post is also available, please let us know if you wish to include this option. Please note that this does not reduce our turn-around time, only the postage time (which is subject to Australia Post).
