Whether you need wedding invitations, engagement invitations, place cards, save-the-date cards, and other types of wedding stationery – you can never go wrong with choosing Giant Invitations. We offer both in-person and on-the-phone consultations where we connect you to experienced experts in invite printing and design so you can get advice on personalised wedding invites that suit your style and budget.
How many weeks in advance should I order my wedding invites?
There are two main considerations when estimating when you should place an order for your wedding invites; the time it takes to produce the invitation prints and the time it takes to send them to your guests. A good rule of thumb would be one month if you live near your guests. If your wedding venue requires travelling outside the city or the country, an allowance of two to three months is best.
With over thirty years of combined experience in commercial printing and invitation designs, you can trust that Giant Invitations has mastered the art of wedding stationery design and printing. We can complete your invitations within just six to eight days. Because we have our own presses, we have control over the quality of the invites as well as the turnaround time. For couples who have a tight schedule, we even offer an overnight turnaround for a selected range of materials, finishes, and styles.
What is a safe budget to set aside for wedding invitations?
The cost of your invites depends on a number of factors, such as the design, size, material, and quantity of the invitations. As a guide, you can set aside at least 10% of your overall wedding budget just to be safe. This is how much most couples spend on wedding stationery in Sydney and other parts of Australia, but of course, yours could be more or less than that, depending on your needs and preferences.
Giant is where you can get some of the most affordable custom wedding invitations in Australia. We have an extensive range of personalised wedding invitations that suit every budget, from economy to high-end options. On our platform, you can get a customised quote according to your desired material, finish, size, and embellishments of your wedding invites, backed by flexible payment options as well.
Are traditional wedding invites better than digital ones?
For some people, digital wedding invitations are practical and cost-efficient, while others may think that they’re nothing short of tacky. It’s all a matter of perspective, but many would agree that digital invitations are definitely informal. They may be good for informal occasions, such as birthdays and get-togethers, but for formal occasions like weddings, you’ll surely impress your guests and deliver a better experience for them as well as yourself with traditional paper wedding invites.
Giant Invitations aims to make buying custom wedding cards in Australia accessible and hassle-free for everyone. On our platform, you can browse a multitude of invite options and inspirations, such as rustic wedding invitations and elegant wedding invitations to help you plan or design your own wedding invitations. You can then order a free sample pack which includes our signature paper stocks, print finishes such as our laser cut finish, and embellishments to get a first-hand experience of our invites.
Once you have a vision of what your wedding invites look like, book an appointment with us at our showroom located in Sydney Road, Brunswick Melbourne. You’ll be working hand-in-hand with one of our expert designers to ensure that you are satisfied with the entire creative process from start to finish. We don’t do ‘one-size-fits-all’ templates or shortcuts here; we take the time to understand your unique preferences and needs to deliver a quality wedding stationery design that will surely delight you.
Got a creative flair? We also offer DIY wedding invitation kits in Australia. This is a pocket-only option that includes the invitation pocket or the invite casing, envelopes, and sealing stickers for the envelopes. You can insert any invite card you designed and created on your own inside the pocket to showcase your artistic side. This is a great option for creative couples who want to save some money as well.
You’re free to supply us with your own wording for the wedding invites as well if you wish to add a personal touch to your invitations. Don’t worry if this is not your strong suit and you’d rather have someone else do the wording for you; we also offer prewritten templates that you can conveniently browse and choose from.
You may place your wedding invite orders online or in-person during your showroom visit. Book an appointment in our showroom now!
