Congratulations
What a magical time this is for you and your sweetheart!
You have embarked on a truly incredible time in your lives! Enjoy every second!
I believe that for you and your loved ones, your wedding experience starts when you send the very first piece of stationery – it may be your engagement invitation, your save-the-date, or even your wedding invitation. Regardless of what comes first for you, what you send will set the tone for the look, feel and ambiance of your big day.
I became a wedding stationery designer because of this belief that your wedding starts with the first point of communication months before the event and ends with the thank you card some weeks after the day. I believe that tiny details creates a memorable experience that you’ll treasure.
It’s truly a once in a lifetime experience and I am so honoured that you’ve stopped by on this journey! I hope I can serve you well!

I work with only the very best printing partners that specialise in invitation and wedding stationery printing, and use premium card stocks and top-of-the-line equipment and techniques to bring your wedding suite to life. There are three main types of printing that you can choose from, and in many cases you can combine more than one of these techniques to create truly unique designs:
The majority of printing is digital printing and this means that we can print with an endless amount of colours on a huge range of card stock and paper options.
Digital printing allows us to print images, patterns, textures or motifs, including illustrations and watercolour onto your wedding stationery.
Advanced printing technology means that we can produce beautiful, crisp and high quality designs at lower costs than letterpress and gold foil.
Letterpress printing is when the design is pressed into very thick cardstock to create an impression in the surface.
The impression can be left blind (which means it will be colourless – good for patterns or statement text) or it can be filled with an ink colour.
Given the nature of letterpress, it’s common to only have only one or two ink colours. The reason being that a new press plate needs to be made for each colour so with more colours it can become pricey but is a stunning, premium option that’s sure to leave a lasting impression.Â
Foil printing (or foil stamping, as it’s technically called) uses heat, pressure, metal dies and foil film.
A sheet of metallic foil is overlaid onto the design and a custom made, heated metal die is pressed over the top with enough pressure to seal the foil onto the cardstock. Gold foiling is usually applied to statement text, borders of pattern motifs in the design.
Foiling comes in a range of colours including gold, silver and bronze and can look stunning combined with both digital and letterpress printing.
Learn more about my bespoke wedding invitation service and request your free information pack.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
