What's included with your Wedding Invites & Save the Dates?

Personal attention to the design & wording of your invite

This includes changing colours, and any tweaks required to fit the design to your preferred wording. Your personal designer will help ensure your wedding invitation says just the right thing, guiding you on appropriate etiquette if needed. We’ll help you nut out all those little details needed on your wedding invites!

Fast turnaround

You should allow around two weeks for your wedding invitation process, and about a week for your Save the Dates. This time encompasses the design process, any revisions you request, printing and courier delivery. More info here.

We recommend placing your order at least four to six months prior to your wedding, to give your guests enough notice. A detailed wedding invitation timeline is available here.

Check a draft before we print

You’ll receive an electronic draft mockup of your wedding stationery before it goes to print – so you can see how everything looks, and request any changes or tweaks. Up to two rounds of revisions are included.

Professional finishing

I’m so serious about giving my clients fast turnaround and high quality prints that I bought the printery!

All of Be My Guest Design’s celebration stationery is professionally printed on a high quality, colour calibrated commercial digital production printer in Mosgiel.

Free guest name printing on your wedding invitations

If you’ve got terrible handwriting or want to personalise wedding invitations with guest names printed directly onto the invite, you can! This optional service comes at no charge for wedding invitations, or at a small additional cost for your Save the Dates.

More information on printing guest names on your wedding invites is available here.

Reverse side printing included for wedding invitations

Printing on the reverse side of your wedding invitations and any RSVP/insert cards is included if you want it – at no extra charge for your wedding invitations. Reverse side printing is available for a small additional charge for Save the Date cards.

Matching envelopes included

Each invitation comes with options for high quality white or kraft envelopes. Black, silver and other coloured envelopes are available too for a small additional cost.

We are really proud that our high quality envelope range is entirely New Zealand made. We understand that budgets can be tight – so where available, we offer a basic white envelope (also NZ made).

SHARE YOUR GRATITUDE

THANK YOU Cards

Communicating your gratitude to your wedding guests by sending thoughtful thank you cards is the final piece of wedding admin most couples need to look after.

The thank you card is the most important piece of wedding stationery after the actual wedding invitation. Your guests have given up their day, dressed to the nines, and probably bought you a generous gift. The absolute least you should do is send them a thoughtful token of your gratitude.
