Melbourne Wedding Invitations & Stationery

It’s recommended to order your Melbourne wedding invitations at least 3 to 6 months before your wedding. This allows time for design, proofing, printing, and delivery — and ensures you can send them out around 8 to 12 weeks before the big day. For save-the-date cards, start even earlier (6 to 12 months ahead).

When choosing your Melbourne wedding invitations think about:
– Your wedding style: Do you want the stationery to reflect your theme (rustic, modern, luxe, vintage, boho)?
– Budget: Custom design costs more than ready-made or DIY templates. Be clear on what you want to spend.
– Printing style: Letterpress, foil, digital, calligraphy — each has its own look and price point.
– Materials: Card stock thickness, envelope quality, embellishments (ribbons, wax seals, liners).
– Consistency: You may also want matching place cards, menus, signage and thank you cards.

Melbourne wedding invitations should be sent six to eight weeks in advance of your wedding. Invitations for destination weddings should be sent 3 months prior. You might like to send a save the date to important and interstate guests up to a year prior.

Absolutely! Many Melbourne wedding invitations suppliers cater to engagement parties, birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, and corporate events, as well as weddings.

Order at least 10–15% more invitations than your guest list, to allow for mistakes, keepsakes, and last-minute additions.

This depends on the style and designer. DIY or online templates can be ready in days; custom invitations may take 4–8 weeks or more — especially if specialty printing or hand-finishing is involved.

Costs for Melbourne wedding invitations vary greatly depending on your choices:
– DIY or online templates: from $1–$3 per invitation (plus printing costs).
– Digitally printed invitations: typically $3–$8 each.
– Letterpress, foil or specialty printing: around $8–$15+ each.
– Fully custom design with luxury materials: can range from $15–$25+ per invitation.
Remember to factor in extras such as RSVP cards, envelope addressing, embellishments, and postage.

Most Melbourne wedding invitations designers provide sample packs so you can assess the quality, paper types, and printing techniques before committing to a full order. This helps ensure the final product meets your expectations.
