WEDDING THEME DISCOVERY
How can I create a theme for my wedding?
When it comes to choosing a theme and style for your wedding, it can be totally exciting or totally overwhelming. There’s a lot of options out there and you might be uncertain what theme to choose. It can be hard to even know where to start!
Do you just pick something?
Perhaps start with the venue, the colours, the dress?
Do you scroll through Pinterest endlessly until something catches your eye?
Do you buy a heap of wedding magazines?
And flick until your perfect style leaps from the page and screams, “This! This is what you’ve been looking for?”
ARE ANY OF THOSE METHODS WORKING FOR YOU, SWEET BRIDE?
In my experience, these method can create even more overwhelm and uncertainty. And I totally understand, you don’t want to make the wrong decision but at the same time, you can’t really see the bigger picture and that makes it impossible to make a decision confidently.
PERHAPS YOU’RE TELLING YOURSELF THERE’S PLENTY OF TIME…
your wedding isn’t for a while yet. There’s no rush, right?
Of course there’s no rush, but if you’re putting off making decisions because you’re nervous and anxious that you wont make the right one, then dear, sweet bride, it wont be too long before you are feeling frantic and pressured to make some decisions!
This is an important day and you’re doing all the things you
think you should:
- You’ve looked for inspiration on Pinterest, Instagram and in magazines.
- You’ve compared against your friends and family’s weddings.
- You’ve even considered hiring a wedding planner.
But the crux of is it that you don’t want to make the wrong decisions and while this day is all about you and your sweetheart, you also want to impress your friends and family and look back on this day as being your dream wedding!
YOU JUST WANT IT TO BE PERFECT!
I want that for you too and I am so incredibly confident that we can get you there! After all you only do this once!
So let’s take away a little bit of that pressure you’ve been feeling. Let’s stop the endless, obsessive Pinterest browsing and trying to run ideas by family and bridesmaids that either have super strong opinions that aren’t your own, or are just as anxious to make this perfect as you are!

FAQS
How do design proofs & reviewing design work?
Once your invitations and wedding stationery is designed and before it is printed, you will be emailed a design proof. You will be required to approve the final proof before it goes to print.
Can I make changes after the order has been placed?
You can make changes to your stationery in the design phase of the project, however we do limit changes to minor changes only (e.g. no major design changes). If you require a redesign, you may be charged a redesign fee however this will be discussed should the situation arise. Changes cannot be made once your order has gone to print.
Do I need to have all my wedding info and guest list/addresses ready at the time of booking?
Ideally, you would have all this info organised and ready to go, however I know that it doesn’t work like that and you may be booking with us well before all the finer details are locked in. It’s ok! The welcome pack that you’ll receive once you’ve booked walks you through what I need from you and by when in order to deliver your stationery on time. You’re not alone, I will coach you through this process! The main thing you’ll need is a good idea about your guest number. This will impact the quantity you order. I can help you to determine quantity requirements on our Discovery Call.
I can absolutely help you determine quantity requirements on our Discovery Call, but here’s a helpful tip: Remember that your guest list is made up of individuals but many of those individuals may be couples or families and you might not require one invitation for each person. This is different for things like place cards, bonbonaire tags and menus if each individual person has their own piece. Keep this in mind when calculating your order quantities. Also, we recommend you print 5-10 spares (especially if you’re opting for letterpress or foil printing as the minimum order quantity is 50).
What shipping/delivery methods do you use?
We use Australia Post and Couriers Please, within Australia or if you’re local to Sydney’s Inner West or Penrith, NSW, then I am happy to deliver or offer pick-up. For International orders, we use Australia Post. For all posted orders, we ensure the package has tracking and do everything in our power to ensure your order is safely packed for it’s journey to you.
If I order printed envelopes from you, can you please pack and stamp them for me?
Absolutely! We have a pack, stamp and even send package upgrade that we can offer you! Once we have quality checked your invites and envelopes we can save you lots of time by packing and stamping your invites before sending to you or alternatively, we can also post them out for you!
Can you print directly onto the envelopes?
Yes, absolutely! In fact, I recommend this! It keeps your invitation suite looking clean and consistent and also saves you a lot of time! If you order printed envelopes, you’ll receive a spreadsheet template in which you can enter all your guests names and addresses and we will take care of the rest! In the print proofing stage of the process, you’ll be sent the full envelope artwork file so you can check each and every one to ensure all the details are correct.
Are there minimum order quantities?
Yes there are. The minimum order quantities (MOQ) differs depending on the printing method you select. For digital printing, the MOQ is 20 whereas for letterpress or foiling, the MOQ is 50. The reason being, is that letterpress and foil printing require press plates to be created for your order and this is very labour intensive and takes a fair amount of time. Keeping in mind the minimums, if you want to order extras, you’ll need to keep the MOQs in mind.
When printing in letterpress or foil, the printing plates are melted down for the next project once your printing is completed so we cannot quickly print extras like we can in digital printing. For this reason, we recommend ordering 5-10 spares in your initial order just in case case you need them.
I want something outside of the scope of your packages, can you help?
Absolutely! Whether it’s a different invitation shape or material, a different ink style (like white ink printing) or perhaps you’re looking for a custom package with a different combination of items included – I would love to hear from you. The best way is to book a free Discovery Call to discuss your needs or alternatively, email me through your ideas and we can go from there.
Can you help me with wording on my invitations, wishing well card etc?
Of course! I also have some resources and guides on wedding stationery wording and can help you select the best option for you. Otherwise you’re also welcome to write your own!
How much time should I allocate to my wedding invitations?
The full process can take up to 12 weeks so it’s important you allow enough time for discovery, consultation, design, revisions, final approvals, printing, quality checks and delivery. We recommend ordering your wedding invitations 4-6 months before your wedding.
How do I contact you while we are working together?
You can access me via email, please just allow 24 hours to get back to you! If you’d like to have a phone or Skype chat throughout our time working together, just send me a quick email and we will arrange a time!
