FAQ’S & Booking Notes

  • We recommend booking at least 10–12 weeks before you plan to mail your invitations. This allows time for design, proofing, print, and production — especially for finishes like foil, letterpress or blind debossing. Most couples send invitations 8–12 weeks before the wedding, or earlier for destination events.

  • We suggest one invitation per household, not per guest. Always allow for a few extras to cover keepsakes, calligraphy errors, last-minute additions, or your photographer’s flat lay.

  • Yes — we’re happy to share a tailored quote based on your wedding details. Each quote is dependant on design, print method, and finishing touches.

  • Yes. Every client receives a digital proof for approval before anything goes to print. Up to three rounds of amends are included as part of our semi-custom design process.

  • We do. We regularly work with clients and planners overseas and worldwide.

  • Rush orders may be possible depending on our studio capacity and your chosen print method. Please add in your sending out date when enquiring.
