To alleviate wedding planning stress, here’s our recommended timeline for ordering your custom wedding prints:

6-9 Months Before: Envision & Explore

• Initial Inspiration & Mood Boards: This is the perfect time to gather inspiration for your wedding aesthetic. Consider themes, colours, and the overall feel you wish to create.
• Identify Your Custom Needs: Start thinking about what custom elements you'll need. Will it be a grand welcome sign, a detailed seating chart, personalised order-of-service booklets, or unique guest favours?
• Consult with Phimedil Designs: Reach out to us early! Discuss your initial ideas, ask questions, and let our expert team guide you through the possibilities for custom wedding orders. Early consultation allows for bespoke design discussions and ensures we can perfectly align with your vision.

3-5 Months Before: Design & Order Key Signage

• Finalise Designs: With your wedding vision taking shape, finalise the designs for your larger, more impactful items. This includes your custom welcome sign, seating plan, bar menus, and any large directional signage.
• Place Your Order: Submit your orders for these significant pieces. This allows ample time for our team to meticulously craft your items, incorporating our signature high-quality finish, and for you to review proofs.
• Proofing & Revisions: We'll provide proofs for your approval. Take your time to review every detail, ensuring everything is exactly as you'd imagined.

6-8 Weeks Before: Personalised Guest Touches

• Order Guest Gifts & Smaller Details: Focus on your personalised guest gifts, thank you card designs, favour tags, and smaller signage like table numbers or dessert bar labels. These thoughtful touches make a huge impact on your guests' experience.
• Confirm Guest Counts: Having your final guest count will be crucial for accurate ordering of favours and place cards.

3-4 Weeks Before: The Final Check & Delivery

• Review All Items: By this point, most of your custom prints should be either in production or nearing completion. Take a moment to mentally check off everything you've ordered.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 30-5 minute rule for weddings?

The "30-5 minute rule" for weddings generally refers to the recommended arrival window for wedding guests at a ceremony. It advises guests to arrive no earlier than 30 minutes before the stated ceremony start time and no later than 5 minutes before. This window allows guests ample time to find their seats, greet others, and settle in comfortably without being too early and potentially observing the final preparations or too late and disrupting the processional or the beginning of the ceremony. For wedding vendors and the bridal party, arrival times are, of course, much earlier to ensure all elements are perfectly in place for the commencement of the celebration.
