Thoughtful Designs for Meaningful Moments

When you think about it, stationery is simply ink on paper or a card folded in half. So why would I invest my time, effort, and creativity into crafting these simple items? Because stationery is so much more - it’s the foundation for connection, celebration, and expression.

A card isn’t just paper; it’s the canvas we use to wish someone well, give thanks, say I love you, or share a heartfelt apology.

Event stationery isn’t just décor; it’s the elegant thread that ties together the story of a special day, setting the tone and leaving a lasting impression.

I began Carded to remind people that in this digital age, there is an unmistakable power in the tangible and personal. A card or a piece of beautifully designed stationery chosen, written, or displayed with intention speaks volumes.

Whether it’s a card filled with heartfelt words or event stationery that brings a celebration to life, I hope what I create for you to share becomes a meaningful and memorable part of your story.

 Happy Carding.

Our Process

  • THE FIRST MOVE

    Before we book a consultation to go over your requirements for your special day, I’ll ask you to send me any inspiration or ideas you might have, as much detail as possible on the items you require, as well as your rough budget, to allow me to understand the look and feel you are wanting to achieve. 

    This ensures I can tailor your quote as close as possible to your needs.

  • THE FIRST DATE

    We meet up over a coffee so we can discuss the various options in depth, to ensure you have a solid understanding of what you have in mind versus what is possible.

    We look at paper options, printing styles, colour ways, envelope options, stationery set combinations and if you’re going to choose an existing design or have a bespoke design in mind that you’d like created.

    Within 4-5 business days of this meeting, I will provide you a quote.

    This is a no obligation consultation.

  • MAKE IT OFFICIAL

    After you’ve had time to process the quote and decide to accept, you’ll confirm via email and a deposit will be required. From here, the design process will begin. 

    If you have chosen a pre-existing design, this process will be completed within 5 business days.

    For bespoke designs, this process will be a 2-4 week turnaround.

  • LOVE LETTERS

    From here we will communicate via email, I'll send you drafts and you'll send feedback. It will be like a long distance relationship that will result in beautiful stationery!

    Once the invitation design is signed off on, the accompanying items will be finalised (EG - RSVP card, wishing well card, map of venu etc.)

    This process is usually 1-2 weeks after the initial draft is sent for review and approval.

  • THE ENGAGEMENT

    Once all the items are designed and sent to you for review, you will provide a final approval for the items to be sent to print, or for final digital output. 

    Payment is required prior to production, therefore, any delay in this will push out the final deadline.

    Printing requires up to 6 weeks, depending on your chosen method and finishes. This should be accounted for when deciding the date you wish to have them sent out. 

  • THE BIG DAY

    We recommend you begin planning the event day requirements. 

    Depending on the number of items you require, print turnarounds will vary and deadlines will be different for each item. We aim to have all items ready and in your possession 1 week before your event date.
