Christmas Holiday Deadlines & Closure Dates [Updated 2024]

How time flies when you’re having fun! It’s hard to believe that time has rolled around to start preparing Christmas albums and photo books.

Below are our end of year order deadlines, designed to ensure that you receive your goods in time for Christmas.

Once you get over the shock Christmas is around the corner ;) … YES you need to start the ball rolling if you want your wedding album or wedding magazines delivered before Christmas.

Both our Wedding Albums and Wedding Magazines are custom designed for YOU and that means they take time to produce. 

2024 CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY DEADLINE

The design process through to manufacturing for both the photo albums and wedding magazines, we need at least 8 weeks to turn the albums and magazines around. 

Because its a collaboration process between us and you, we cannot give an exact timeframe. For this reason, we need to allow plenty of time to ensure you receive your album or magazine in time.

We generally have the first draft design back to you within 10-15 days, but in the busy period leading up to Christmas that time may stretch to a bit longer. From there we go through the review process, where you have the opportunity to make changes. Once you approve the design, manufacture and delivery can take 3-4 weeks.

We need at least 4 weeks for design and changes to be made, so the absolute latest we can accept orders for pre-Christmas delivery is 25 October 2024. Avoid the last minute rush by ordering now!

  1. From the time we receive your order and photos, we start the curating and design process. The first design draft is provided within 15 business days.
  2. Then you have the chance to review the design and make changes — we allow up to 3 rounds of changes. Upon receiving your changes, one revision round can take up to 5 business days to turnaround. If you need all 3 rounds then allow 15 business days.
  3. Once the design is approved, the album or magazine is printed and bound before going through a quality check. Production takes around 15 business days.
  4. Depending on where you live in Australia or the world (yes we deliver worldwide), delivery can take anywhere from 2 days to a week or more. Be mindful in the lead up to and during holiday periods freight companies experience a higher volume of parcels so expect longer than normal delivery times.
Designs must be approved for printing
by Friday 22 November 2024
for guaranteed pre-Christmas delivery

We need at least 4 weeks for design and changes to be made, so the absolute latest we can accept orders for pre-Christmas delivery is 25 October 2024. Avoid the last minute rush by ordering now!

We will continue to process orders and make deliveries after these dates, but there is no guarantee they will be delivered before Christmas. We will make our best attempts but no guarantees.

Any orders that are not delivered before Christmas will be processed in the new year — please refer below for holiday closure dates.

If your album or magazine is a Christmas Gift, we urge you to get your order in ASAP to ensure you get your album or magazine delivered before Christmas. 

Which ever style you go with, your wedding album truly becomes an invaluable keepsake of an important milestone. 

Being able to bring your album out at Christmas while all your loved ones are gathered, is a great way to remember the good times.

Don’t delay if you’ve got your eyes on an Album or Magazine as a gift for your loved one this festive season.

2024/2025 HOLIDAY CLOSURE DATES
