Paper & Stuff
About
Overview & Vibe
Paper & Stuff is a wedding stationery studio working from a unit in the Cooranbong Business Park, at the southern end of Lake Macquarie. It brings more than fifty years in design and print, and it is built around taking the stress out of stationery rather than around a single look: planning a wedding can be overwhelming, so the studio offers three options to suit “your budget, your timeline, and how much hands-on you want to be”.
Style & Printing
Artwork, printing, cutting and prep are all done in the studio, including personalising pieces with your guests’ names, and the look is settled in person rather than from a catalogue — the appointment exists so you can handle the papers and see the colours, then change a design to suit your colours, preferred size and budget. The studio also sets out invitation wording in unusual depth, with guides for different tones and for different family circumstances, including separated and remarried parents and a parent who has died, plus how to word gift and wishing-well requests.
Ideal For
Couples who want to be walked through the whole thing, and couples who want to keep the cost down by doing some of the work themselves. The three tiers are the point: a do-it-yourself option where the studio advises on papers and quantities and you print and assemble; “Wedding-in-a-Bag”, where the studio does the artwork, printing, cutting and prep and you assemble at home; and a fully custom option where the studio does everything.
The Need-to-Knows
Pricing is by quote rather than by price list. Every job is quoted after an appointment, which runs Monday to Friday from 9am to 4pm — with after-hours and Sunday sessions for couples who travel or work full-time — takes one to two hours, and is free with no obligation. A $100 deposit secures the booking and the balance is paid when you pick the stationery up from the Cooranbong studio, though posting can be arranged. The studio works with couples marrying across the Hunter Valley, Newcastle, Sydney and the Central Coast.
Standout Feature
The assembly lesson. If you take the Wedding-in-a-Bag option the studio prints, cuts and preps everything, then shows you how to put the first one together and sends you home with cheat-sheets to do the rest — which is how the price comes down without the invitations looking homemade.
