HOW WE OPERATE:

Do you have a showroom I can visit to see your work in person? 
No we don't have a showroom open to the public, we do however have two pick up locations in Melbourne. We also offer In Person Consultations for a redeemable fee via appointment in Port Melbourne, Melbourne. For Clients interstate or overseas, we offer Consultations via Phone, DM and Email. 

What are your business hours?
We respond to DM and Emails generally within 48 hours including in the evening.
Our standard operating hours are:
Monday - Friday between 9am and 8pm.
Saturday - Sunday between 12pm and 3pm.

Do you do invitation designs on the spot during an In Person Consultation?
We do not create a digital proof during your consultation with us. The design process starts once an order is confirmed and payment is received.

HOW TO ORDER:

Can I choose an invitation design to include in the sample pack?
Our sample packs include a vast selection of colours, materials, print types and more which are randomly chosen with the intention to show you some of our options and finish quality. If there is a specific design/example that you'd like us to include, please note it at checkout, we will do our best to accommodate.

When will I receive the first rounds of design proofs?
After receiving payment and your wording, we will provide a digital proof within 1-3 business days. We’ll send an update of your proof within 1-2 business days. For priority orders, this process will also be prioritised. 

How long will it take to print my order?
Production and assembling will commence once you approve the final design proofs.

Standard Turn Around: 3.5 - 5 weeks, usually 4 weeks
Priority Turn Around : 2 - 3.5 weeks
Turn around timing does not include shipping timeframes.

Can I make changes to my invitation or stationery design?
All orders include up to 5 rounds of minor revisions. These edits can be any of the following:

a) Alterations in text styles (font, size and colour).
b) Format and edit text.
c) Reposition graphics.

Further amendments after the 5th round will incur extra charges at FZK & Co. Event Paper's rate of $120 AUD per hour.

Can I request a small change to my design after I have provided approval of the final design proof?
Once the design proof/s have been approved by you for print, we will then begin the process, no further changes can be made. Once printing has commenced, we can not make any changes and your order will be completed. 

Can you do a printed sample of my final designs before printing them all?
Due to the high setup cost, we cannot produce a printed sample of your design. We suggest ordering a sample pack to give you an idea of our quality and print types.

Do you have a minimum order quantity?
Our minimum quantity is 50. For Stationery packages, we can assist with a quantity of 40.

How many invitations do I need to order?
Accounting for 1 invitation per couple and per family is sufficient. We recommend ordering an extra 10-20 invitations in case you forget someone, want to invite others after receiving your RSVPS etc.

What if I need to order extra invitations?
A small print run (of less than a quantity of 50) after production will incur the following fees:
Invitations: $350 AUD plus the current unit cost price.
Stationery: $150 AUD plus the current unit cost price.

Can I get a copy of my monogram?
We can provide a high-resolution PDF file of your monogram and/or invitation for a flat fee of $99 AUD.
