We recommend sending out your event invitations 2 – 3 months before your event date.  This gives enough time for notice to your guests, and to receive your rsvp at least 1 month before your event.  For destination weddings, we suggest sending out invitations 3 – 4 months before the event date. 

This means you should place an order for your invitations at least 4-6 months before your event. See our helpful wedding stationery timeline guide:Wedding Stationery Timeline.

Our artwork fee ranges from R1000 for bespoke wedding/event invitations, and from R3500 to R6000 for on-the-day wedding/event stationery designs excluding print and paper costs.

Why?
We are well-versed in print techniques and design accordingly for each indivudual order in the order’s specific style.

While we do custom printing, we do not print other designer’s/online editing software works. We design on high DPI, and in certain softwares. We require high quality graphics and artworks to be able to print high quality cards.

Due to the nature of online editing software, we normally receive low quality artworks thus resulting in low quality printing.  We prefer not to work with these types of artworks (such as canva/zazzle/other online platforms and insist that when ordering through us, that we handle the project from start of design to finish – ensuring you receive the best quality products from us!

We totally understand the need to have wedding invitations or custom orders in a jiffy. Our rush orders allow us to accommodate your order in a specified timeline, and is subject to an additional rush fee.

You have TWO free edits after the final design is submitted.
