FAQ STATIONERY
There are so many details to think about when planning an event — my job is to make your stationery and signage simple, smooth, and beautifully handled.
You’ll find helpful info below, and if you still need clarity, send me a message. I’m here to guide you through it.
GENERAL
CAN YOU PRINT MY DIY DESIGN?
I only print designs created in-house. This helps me maintain consistent quality and ensure everything prints exactly as intended.
If you have an idea or concept though — I’m more than happy to bring it to life for you.
DO YOU PROVIDE DESIGN PROOFS?
Yes, Always & Forever — every order includes a digital proof before anything goes to print. You’ll have the chance to review, request adjustments, and approve your design with confidence.
Nothing is printed until you’re happy.
CAN YOU HELP WITH WORDING?
Absolutely. If you’re unsure what to say or how to phrase things, I can guide you. From classic and formal to fun and personal — we’ll make sure the wording feels right for your event and your style.
HOW DO I GET A QUOTE?
Easy — just click the enquiry LINK, fill out the form, and you’re all set.
Once submitted, I’ll review your details and come back to you with a tailored quote. I aim to respond within 2–3 business days.
WHAT INFORMATION DO YOU NEED FROM ME TO GET STARTED?
To get started, I’ll need your event type (wedding, product launch, etc.), event date, theme/style/colour palette, and what items you’re looking for — invitations, RSVPs, signage, or a full suite.
Your budget is also very important. It helps me recommend the right materials, print methods, and finishes from the start, so I can design within a range that makes sense for you — without wasting time on options that don’t fit your expectations.
CAN YOU MATCH MY EXISTING WEDDING BRANDING OR MOODBOARD?
Absolutely. Send your moodboard, colour palette, or inspiration through to sales@ohmydesignstudio.com.au and I’ll design to align with your overall look and feel.
Working with an existing visual direction always helps create a more cohesive result.
CAN YOU DESIGN TO MATCH MY FLORIST / STYLIST / PLANNER BRIEF?
Yes — and it often makes the process even smoother. I’m happy to work directly with your planner or stylist to ensure everything feels cohesive across your event.
CAN YOU MATCH MY EXACT COLOURS?
In most cases, yes — especially when CMYK values are provided. CMYK is the colour formula used for professional printing and gives much more accurate results than screen colours alone.
Without print colour values, exact matching is harder to guarantee.
DO YOU TAKE LAST-MINUTE ORDERS?
It depends on how close the deadline is and what you need produced. The best thing to do is email me at sales@ohmydesignstudio.com.au and I’ll let you know honestly what’s possible.
CAN YOU INCLUDE ILLUSTRATIONS OR CUSTOM GRAPHICS?
Yes — I can include custom illustrations, icons, monograms, and graphic elements as part of your design. Let me know what you have in mind and I’ll advise what’s possible and what suits your style best.
WHO OWNS THE FINAL ARTWORK?
The final artwork remains the intellectual property of the studio. It may not be resold or reused commercially.
CAN I GET THE DESIGN FILES AFTER PRINTING?
Final print-ready source files are not included as standard. If you require licensed artwork files for a specific reason, this can sometimes be arranged for an additional fee and usage agreement.
WHAT AFFECTS THE PRICE MOST?
Print finishes and materials have the biggest impact on price. Standard digital print is the most cost-effective option, while foil, letterpress, specialty stocks, and layered finishes increase production costs.
DO YOU REQUIRE A DEPOSIT?
Yes — the design fee is paid upfront to begin your project.
Once your artwork is approved, the remaining print and production balance is due before items are sent to print.
WHEN IS FINAL PAYMENT DUE?
Final payment is due once artwork is approved and ready for production, before printing begins.
STATIONERY
WHEN SHOULD WE START STATIONERY?
Invitations & RSVPs:
Ideally 3+ months before you plan to send them out.
On-the-day stationery & signage:
Around 2+ months before the event is recommended.
Some items — like menus — are naturally finalised later due to tastings and last-minute changes. In those cases, we can design the layout first and insert final details once confirmed.
Please note this timeline is a guide. Final timing also depends on how quickly approvals and feedback are received, and how many proof rounds or adjustments are required along the way.
WHAT IS THE TURNAROUND TIME FOR STATIONERY?
Turnaround depends on the print method and finishes selected.
I work exclusively on bespoke (fully personalised) projects, and the typical timeline is around five weeks for design, printing, and shipping.
For more luxe finishes such as foil or letterpress, please allow an additional 14 business days for production and processing.
If you’re working with a tight deadline, let me know — I’ll always be upfront about what’s realistically achievable.
Please note this timeline is a guide. Final timing also depends on how quickly approvals and feedback are received, and how many proof rounds or adjustments are required along the way.
HOW MANY INVITES SHOULD I ORDER?
Most couples need more invitations than they first expect. A good rule is to order at least 10 extra invitation suites beyond your final invite count — this helps cover any last-minute changes or additional guests you may decide to invite.
When calculating quantities, remember you’re counting households — not individual guests. Couples usually receive one invitation, and families share one as well.
Numbers often shift closer to the date, and it’s also lovely to keep a few suites as keepsakes. Many couples choose to have their invitation suite photographed on the wedding day or framed afterwards.
For menus and place cards, ordering at least 5 spare copies is always recommended.
CAN I ORDER MORE AFTER MY INITIAL ORDER?
Yes — reorders are possible. Just keep in mind that smaller follow-up print runs usually cost more per piece, plus shipping. This is because print pricing works in tiers — the higher the quantity, the lower the unit cost.
If you think you might need extras, it’s usually more cost-effective to include them in your initial order. I’m always happy to help you estimate quantities upfront so you feel confident ordering the right amount.
DO YOU HAVE A MINIMUM ORDER?
There is no minimum for signage.
For paper/cardstock stationery (invites, menus, place cards, rsvps), I can absolutely cater for small weddings and elopements as well — just note that the design fee remains the same regardless of quantity.
If you’re unsure what makes sense for your event size, I can guide you.
HOW MANY PROOF ROUNDS ARE INCLUDED?
Most projects include two main proof rounds.
You’ll first receive an initial mockup — this is where wording edits and direction adjustments usually happen. Then you’ll receive a refined version for final approval.
If needed, I’m happy to include one additional minor revision round. Larger redesigns or full concept changes after approval may incur an additional design fee per extra round.
DO YOU OFFER MOCKUPS BEFORE I COMMIT?
Mockups are provided after the design fee is paid.
From there, if you decide not to proceed, that’s completely fine — however the design fee remains non-refundable, as it covers the time spent creating your concept and layout.
WHAT PRINT METHODS DO YOU OFFER?
I offer a range of print finishes including standard digital print, foil stamping, letterpress, and debossing.
I’ll guide you on which method best suits your design and budget.
CAN I MIX FINISHES (FOIL + DIGITAL, ETC.)?
Yes — mixed finishes are absolutely possible and often look beautiful. I’ll help you choose combinations that work visually and financially. Final options will depend on your budget and material selection.
ARE COLOURS GUARANTEED TO MATCH SCREEN EXACTLY?
Not exactly. Screen colours and printed colours behave differently because screens use light (RGB) and printing uses ink (CMYK). While I work carefully to achieve accurate print colour, slight variations are normal in professional printing.
CAN YOU PRINT WHITE INK?
Yes — white ink printing is available on selected materials and stocks.
DO YOU COORDINATE FULL WEDDING SUITES?
Yes — I can design fully coordinated wedding suites including invitations, RSVP cards, menus, place cards, welcome signs, seating charts, and other signage so everything feels cohesive and intentional across your event.
SIGNAGE
WHAT MATERIALS DO YOU USE FOR SIGNAGE?
I work with a range of quality signage materials depending on the look and finish you’re after. The most commonly used options are PVC. Foam board, acrylic, and fabric.
If you have something specific in mind, feel free to ask — I’m always happy to explore options and recommend what will work best for your design and venue.
WHAT IS THE TURNAROUND TIME FOR SIGNAGE?
Because all signage is custom made to suit your event, timing depends on the design complexity and materials selected.
Most signage projects are completed within about three to five weeks, including design, production, and shipping. Acrylic 3D lettering and specialty finishes may require additional time.
If you’re on a tighter timeline, let me know — I’ll be upfront about what’s achievable and help you prioritise what matters most.
Please note turnaround can also vary depending on how quickly proofs are approved and how many revisions are requested along the way.
DO SIGNS COME WITH STANDS OR FRAMES?
Yes — signage includes a strut stand for support, regardless of size.
