About

Overview & Vibe

Tango Design, trading as Invitations by Tango Design, is a Gold Coast studio that designs, prints and assembles wedding invitations and matching stationery in-house. The studio describes its work as handmade and not mass produced, and it sells themed ranges such as rustic, boho, vellum, acrylic and rose gold to couples across Australia and overseas.

Style & Printing

Most orders are printed digitally, which the studio calls its most economical option, with digital foil, hot foil stamping, letterpress and thermography on offer for a more tactile finish, plus UV and silk screen printing. Papers run from handmade and kraft to vellum and pearlescent mill stock, and designs can be flat, folded, pocket fold or laser cut, in classic, modern, rustic, boho or luxury looks.

Ideal For

Couples who want a personal, hands-on stationer and are ordering at least 50 pieces, with the theme, paper and colours changed to suit, or a design of their own. Orders ship Australia-wide and worldwide, so it also suits destination weddings and couples living overseas, and couples near the Gold Coast can visit the studio.

The Need-to-Knows

  • Prices are quoted on request: send your guest numbers and preferred style, and the studio replies with a personalised quote.
  • Every order needs at least 50 pieces and must total at least $1,000 in one transaction. Prices are in Australian dollars.
  • Allow about four to six weeks of production after you approve your proof; a rush service is available.
  • A non-refundable 50% deposit starts the work, and the balance is due when you approve the proof.
  • Delivery takes two to five days to the east coast of Australia, seven to ten days to the west coast and five to seven business days express to the USA.

Standout Feature

Consultation, design, printing and assembly all happen in-house on the Gold Coast, and the studio says couples voted it Queensland’s best wedding stationer at the ABIA awards on five occasions.

Appointment Policy

  • Send a quote request with your guest numbers and preferred style, and the studio replies with a personalised quote; you can also phone, email or message the studio.
  • The studio says it usually answers the phone after hours, at weekends and on holidays, and otherwise replies within 24 hours.
  • Couples near the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Tweed, Mount Tamborine and the Northern Rivers can also visit the Gold Coast studio for a coffee and a chat.

Areas Serviced

  • Serving couples across Australia and worldwide.

Booking & Deposit

  • A non-refundable 50% deposit is required once you place your order, no work starts until it is received, and the balance is due when you approve your proof and before printing begins.

Delivery & Postage

  • Orders ship Australia-wide and internationally, taking two to five days to the east coast of Australia, seven to ten days to the west coast and five to seven business days express to the USA.
  • Shipping insurance is built into the shipping fee and cannot be removed, and most parcels need a signature, so a work address is a good delivery address.

Minimum Order

  • The minimum order is 50 pieces for all stationery.

Nearby Landmarks

  • Surfers Paradise Beach, the long surf beach below the high-rise skyline at the heart of the Gold Coast.
  • Burleigh Heads National Park, a rainforest headland reserve with a coastal walking track at the southern end of Burleigh Beach.

Price Notes

  • Prices are quoted on request after you send your guest numbers and preferred style; no invitation or suite prices are listed.
  • Every order must total at least $1,000 in one transaction, and all prices are in Australian dollars.
  • Envelopes come free with your invitations, and a return address is printed free on RSVP envelopes you buy; printing guest addresses on envelopes is $1.20 per envelope.
  • Cancelling after the digital proof stage costs $110 per digital proof plus the cost of materials bought for your order, and asking for a whole new design during proofing is a $110 design fee on top of the order cost.
  • If you reduce your numbers after ordering there may be no reduction in the overall price, because materials are bought as soon as the deposit is paid.
  • Non-personalised sample invitations are available on request from $55 per piece.
