About

Overview & Vibe

Jem&I Designs is a boutique wedding and event stationery studio based in Melbourne, creating and delivering globally. It runs nine semi-custom collections alongside a bespoke service, so the same studio can handle a couple who wants to choose a ready design and change the colours, and a couple who wants something drawn from scratch. The studio sums up its own outlook plainly: “we are firm believers in less is more and that everything should be done for a reason.” In practice that means confident type, a strong colour sense and close attention to paper and finish, rather than ornament for its own sake.

Style & Printing

The nine collections cover a wide spread, from classic and considered through romantic script, bold modern type, playful shapes and bold colour, to an Amalfi Coast or coastal treatment. Printing runs to digital, white ink, letterpress, metallic foil, embossing and debossing, screen printing and wax seals, on stock from card through to acrylic, foamboard, linen and satin. Every collection can be customised: ink and paper colours, shapes, printing type, wording, and illustrations chosen from the studio’s own libraries.

Ideal For

Couples who want a coordinated look running from the save-the-date all the way through to the bar sign. The on-the-day range is broad: menus, place cards, table numbers, beverage menus, coasters, vow booklets, placemats, napkin rings, cocktail stirrers, welcome signs, seating plans and fabric signage are all part of the same collections, so the paper and the signage match without extra work. It also suits couples marrying overseas or interstate, since the studio ships worldwide, and couples who would rather receive print-ready files and arrange their own printing, which the studio offers on any of its designs.

The Need-to-Knows

Semi-custom orders take four to eight weeks from the point your final wording is supplied, and a bespoke commission runs three to five months from first questionnaire to delivery. Quantities start at 30 for printed pieces. Two rounds of design and copy changes are included, proofs are sent on screen rather than printed, and further rounds are charged in thirty-minute increments agreed with you first. A 50 per cent deposit secures your place in the production schedule and the balance falls due before anything goes to print. Bespoke work is quoted individually against a stated minimum investment.

Standout Feature

Very few studios in this trade publish their prices at all, and this one publishes a price guide for its semi-custom range, broken down by quantity, by shape and by printing method. Save the dates, invitations, details and RSVP cards, envelopes, menus, place cards, table numbers and signage all carry published figures. Luxury printing such as letterpress and foil, and a number of the on-the-day extras, are quoted on enquiry instead. Being able to see most of the numbers before making contact is unusual, and it makes budgeting a suite a good deal easier than guessing at it.

Appointment Policy

Enquiries and quotes start with the studio's online enquiry form or a direct email, with your preferred items, quantities and printing methods. A personal quote and an estimated timeline come back by email. A bespoke commission begins with a video call or a meeting to talk through your vision. Replies can take longer during peak wedding season.

Booking & Deposit

A 50 per cent deposit, which the studio describes as non-refundable, secures your booking and your place in the production schedule. The remaining 50 per cent is due before the designs go to print.

Delivery & Postage

Orders are checked by the studio before they are packed, then sent by courier or post with a tracking number supplied on the day your parcel leaves the studio. Collection in person can be arranged if you are in Melbourne. Delivery is quoted with your order, and international parcels may attract duties and taxes that are not included.

Price Notes

Semi-custom prices below come from the studio's published price guide, which states 'Pricing as at January 2025'. Prices are published as totals for a given quantity, starting at 30, and vary by shape and printing method. As published examples at 30: save the dates from $320, invitations from $370, details or RSVP cards from $250, menus from $310, place cards from $250. Signage is priced per piece: a welcome sign from $250, a seating plan from $300, bar signs from $130, small signage from $45, and a feature welcome sign and seating plan together at $670 including stands.
Add-ons are published separately. A custom die-cut shape outside the studio's library adds $33. Adding guest names to menus adds $80. A self-standing base for a sign adds $25.
Several lines are quoted rather than listed: letterpress, metallic foil and embossing, custom shape envelopes and sleeves, cocktail tags, placemats, vow booklets, decals, and print-ready files. Additional design fees apply to changes to a collection and to custom illustrations outside the studio's libraries, and a rush fee applies to shortened timelines.
Bespoke work is quoted individually. The studio states a minimum investment and a typical range, and its two bespoke pages do not agree with each other: one gives a minimum of $2500.00 and a typical range of $4000.00 to $15,000.00, the other a minimum of $1500 and a typical range of $4000 to $14,000. Treat the bespoke minimum as unsettled until the studio confirms it.
The studio notes that prices are not locked in until an official invoice is issued and may change if its suppliers increase printing costs.

Turnaround Time

Allow four to eight weeks for a semi-custom collection, counted from the day your final wording and details are supplied.
