Our
Process
1.1
Explore. Gaze. Ponder.
Gaze upon and explore our designs. There are quite a few to choose from, and we tried our best to accomodate designs which will fit to everyone’s style and wedding easily.
Eliminate the designs you don’t like or suit your theme, and ponder upon a smaller selection to choose from. We recommend sleeping on it, rather than making a quick decision and regretting it the next day!
Refer to our Style Guide to explore what shapes, paper colours and printing style you imagine with the design of your choice.
Once you have done lots of thinking and going back and forth, select your favoured designs.
You don’t always have to get all your stationery from one design collection. You are more than welcome to mix and match to your designs!
1.2
Custom
If you can’t find what you are looking for or you would like to tweak and re-arrange some of the designs we offer, you are more than welcome to do a full custom design.
Contact us through our email with all your ideas, inspiration images/mood boards etc, and we can develop a specific quote for your designs.
This quote consists of our tailored design fee, plus the standard costs of print methods, die cuts and quantities will be added on top.

Select & Order
Now it is time to place your order! Once you have selected your preferred options, select the print type, shape, quantity* and any additional extras, add them to the shopping cart and.. tap tap tap your credit card!
Once your order has come through, we will be in touch within 2 business days with some more information for you, including a form for you to fill out with your wording, names, die cuts, paper stock colour, ink, and envelope colours.
* One of the biggest mistakes customers make is not ordering enough invites. If you already placed and payed for your order and realise you need more, you will have to re-order the minimum quantity order (which is 40) again through our website. Please make sure to add at least 10-20 extra cards (eg: you have a wedding of 50 guests, please add more to your order to bring it up to 60 or even 70 just incase you forgot about your long lost cousins or your mother in-law needs you to invite her bookclub friends. It will save you some $$$ and a headache! It is also always nice to have some as a keepsake for you to look back on in the future and for your photographer to photograph on your wedding day.

Designing
As soon as we receive your completed form, we will get started by putting together and designing your wedding stationery. Please allow up to 5 business days to receive your first digital design proof.
If you require some wording changes, you are provided with a further 2 rounds of edits. Any more edits after that will be charged 30% of your original order price. But do not stress, as usually everything is finalised within the first or second edit.
4
Printing & Timelines
Once you have approved all designs, we will send it straight to print. Remember the quicker your wording and design edits are finalised and approved, the quicker it is sent to print.
The following timelines are calculated from when your designs are sent to print, to when they should arrive on your doorstep.
Digital Printing (black & colour ink, white ink,
gold, silver & metallic ink):
Please allow up to 15 business days.
Letter Press/Embossing/
Debossing/Foil Press:
Please allow up to 20-25 business days.
Custom hand crafted design collections (eg: paint streak, sewing):
Please allow an extra 5 business days on top
of the above mentioned times.
It is very important to plan ahead and allow as much time for your stationery to arrive before you need to send it out to your guests.
If there is need for a rush order, an extra 30% fee will be charged on top of your original order price. (In other words, don’t rush it. Save that extra money for something else in the wedding!)

Shipping
As soon as your printed stationery order arrives on our doorstep, we will count and inspect each piece and carefully wrap and pack it into a special box and finally, send* it to your doorstep.
Once it arrives, don’t forget to do photos and an unboxing video of your stationery, and share it on your social media and tag us @avenuestudioco,
so we can “be there” when your heart skips a beat and squeal with excitement for your soon to be wedding day!
*You will receive a tracking number when the courier picks up your package from us. All shipping is done through Australia Post Express shipping with a flat rate of $25, and $35 for signage.
