When should I order my event stationery? How long does the process take?

You should allow as much time as possible when it comes to planning your event stationery. A typical event stationery order will take approximately 8-12 weeks from start to finish, depending on whether you have chosen a Semi-Custom or Custom suite. Please get in touch with us at least 12 weeks before you would like to send your stationery to your guests in order to ensure we can meet your deadline. If you are short on time, rush orders are available (dependent on workload) but do incur a rush fee.

When should I send my invitations to my guests?

It is always best to give your guests as much notice as possible. Below is an approximate timeline guide for sending out invitations.

Destination Wedding – Minimum 12 Months
Save the Date – 8 to 12 Months
Local Wedding – 3 to 6 Months

How many invitations will I need?

As an estimate, you should allow approximately 75% of the total number of guests. It is also highly recommended to order 10% more than you require. This ensures you have more than enough for unforeseen circumstances such as last minute guests and lost/damaged mail. It also avoids you having to pay for pricey extra set-up costs for additional invitations you may require. It is very expensive to print small quantities as suppliers have minimum set-up costs. Plus we’re sure you’ll also want to hold on to one for yourself as a keepsake!

How do I obtain a quote for my event stationery?

Please fill in the form on our Enquire page to get in touch with us and request a quote. This information helps to ensure we quote you as accurately as possible for your specific requirements. Once we receive your request, we will be in touch with you within 48 hours.

I’m happy with the quote, now what?

Once you’re happy with the quote and ready to place an order, a 30% deposit is required to secure your booking, confirm a design start date and begin the design process. The balance of the invoice is due upon approval of the final design, which will be emailed to you directly for official sign-off.

Do you offer personal consultations?

Unfortunately due to the pandemic personal appointments have been suspended until further notice. Personalised service is a key part of the Studio Nard process, and we hope to offer this again as soon as possible. When these recommence, we offer a complimentary personal appointment with us after you have received your quote. This appointment gives you the opportunity to meet with us directly, view our work, paper samples and discuss your event requirements in further detail. However, the design process can be done completely online also. You have the option to purchase a sample pack to view our work, and all communication can be achieved over phone, email and zoom. This means we have the flexibility to work with you no matter where you are situated in Australia.

How much do invitations cost?

The price of a stationery suite is based on a number of variable factors. The main element that determines price is the print finish. Please visit our Print Finishes page to view all the available print finishes and gain an understanding of the expense of each finish relative to each other. Below is an indication of costs based on a standard invitation suite for a quantity of 50.

Digital printing (main invitation only) – From $500
Foiling (main invitation only) – $1000-1500
Letterpress (main invitation only) – $2000-2500

Other factors that affect pricing is the paper stock selected, how many pieces the suite comprises of and how many invitations required.

When requesting a quote, it’s great to have a budget in mind. This will help us design to suit your requirements.
