Hi Churalak! I myself only had a small group of 30 people at my wedding in Airlie Beach, but everyone was so touched when they received their invitation. I think it's quite nice to send them out, mainly because it makes people feel special & it is a great way to communicate your wedding theme & important details. Most of my guests have still kept their invitations as a keepsake.

It depends on what you want to achieve with this. Are you having a super relaxed and chilled out wedding? Is your wedding at a venue or at home? Do you care about what people wear? Is there a special theme? Inviting people to a wedding via email or text sends the message that it's super casual and you have no theme in mind. I went to a wedding once where we were all invited via SMS and it was so casual that girls showed up in jeans because they didn't know what to expect. We still had fun but it was clear that it was more of a backyard BBQ style party, rather than a more formal wedding.

At the end of the day, it's up to you but I highly recommend sending invitations. The good thing is, you won't have to spend a lot if you only have 30 or so guests! You will only need one invitation per couple or household.

If you have any more questions, please feel free to email me!

Cheers,

Lava :)

Hi Churalak!

Thank you for your question – it's a common one which we deal with on a regular basis. Boutique weddings are a popular choice for couples these days, as we move away from the larger traditional celebrations of the past. We commonly print invitations in as small quantities as x10. All of our products are able to be ordered on an a la carte basis, so you can choose exactly how many invitations and matching cards that you need without having to commit to too many.

Even if you're holding an intimate wedding, it's still going to be one of the most memorable days of your life. It is a day to be celebrated, and your guests will feel so excited to receive an invitation in the mail – so why not set the tone for a magical wedding day from the start!

I hope this helps,

Congratulations on your wedding! Small weddings are great as they are usually direct family and closest friends who would love to receive an invitation, and most would keep as a momentum. Another idea would to have us create a less formal invitation or even a postcard or image you can email or SMS to your guests. But most people still love to recieve a physical thing in the mail. It's fun! We are happy to send you a quote if you have any other Questions

Hi Churalak,
This is a great opportunity to have exactly what you want! As the quantity is low you could potentially splurge on a few extras!
Just because a wedding is small doesn't mean it can't be a special occasion with all the toppings.
Warm regards,

Hello

I always think it's lovely to do so. We do not charge a premium for small numbers - all of our invitations are designed specifically for the client and providing you don't make design changes to the original one chosen then no additional cost for wording/date changes .

Please let me know if I can be of help
