Custom stationery never fails to add an extra special touch to an event. Whether it’s invitations for party guests or a menu for each place setting at a dinner with friends, printed pages add a real sense of occasion. And Officeworks’ new Same Day Printing service (available at selected stores) makes the whole process simple and convenient. Its custom printing service means you can now plan your get-together in the morning and have your invites, menus, birthday cards or even wedding collateral in your hands that afternoon. Stylist, writer and crafter Alexis Teasdale used Officeworks Same Day Printing to create thank you cards to send to guests the day after her daughter Andie’s fifth birthday party.

Use Custom Templates or Design Your Own

“We had Andie’s pony party on the weekend, which was a wild success, and we wanted to send some thank you cards to her guests. All you have to do is upload your design to the [Officeworks Print + Create] website, or you can use one of their templates. I used my own design to match Andie’s invites, which had a bit of a pony club theme. You can use your computer, but I actually did it all on my phone – it was really quick and easy.”

“I got the notification that my order was ready to be picked up at 1.30pm – I’d put the order in at 10.15 this morning.”

Hot Tip: Officeworks has the latest printing technology available to get the job done right the first time. With a wide range of Same Day Printing products available at selected stores, simply place your order by 2pm to have it ready to collect that same day.

“The cards were nice and thick; I used the 300gsm recycled matte option. They're really lovely. And of course, Andie wants to send one to the two actual ponies [that were available for rides during the party], Cookie and Tex.”

‍Same Day Printing Review: Alexis’ Verdict

“It actually just couldn’t have been easier. This is going to be great for party invites. I usually just send them out by text because the thought of printing them just seems to be hard. But if I can do them on the same day, I love it!”
