Printed 30th birthday invitations you personalise online
These printed 30th birthday invitations are personalised online and sold as finished invites for the party. The person turning 30 or whoever hosts, such as a partner, friends or family, usually places the order. The Suddenly 30 design shows balloon numerals and confetti on a pink background. It uses digital printing on Paperlust Matte. At 127 x 178 mm landscape, a single-sided order of 100 cards costs A$280.
Prices, print methods and sizes
The table compares three designs from this range. Each is shown with 100 single-sided cards on its default paper.
| Design | Print method and paper | Size | Number of cards | Total price | Production time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Suddenly 30 | Digital printing on Paperlust Matte | 127 x 178 mm landscape | 100 | A$280 | 3 to 5 working days |

- Digital printing is full colour on a digital press, a printing method rather than a digital file.
- Metallic is a metallic print with a shimmer, printed with the artwork and not a foil.
- White ink is opaque white printed onto coloured card.
- Flat foil is metallic foil applied with heat and pressure, and the surface stays flat.
- Foil stamp uses a custom die that presses foil into the card, giving shine plus an impression you can feel. Minimum order is 50 and production takes 20 to 23 working days after proof approval.
Most 30th birthday invites in this range are 178 x 127 mm portrait or 127 x 178 mm landscape, and some are 147 x 147 mm square. Suddenly 30 and Surprise each offer portrait and landscape. Each design has its own paper list shown on the product page; Suddenly 30 is available on Paperlust Matte, Linen, Metallic, Luxe and Wild Cotton, Surprise on Paperlust Forest Green only, and Raise a Toast on Paperlust Matte, Luxe and Matte Double T.
Choosing a design for him, for her or a theme
You choose 30th birthday invitations by colour, motif and finish rather than through separate ranges for him or for her. Suddenly 30 has a pink background with balloon numerals and confetti and comes in two colourways, the pink one and a second option. Surprise uses opaque white ink on deep green card. Raise a Toast carries a gold foil illustration of clinking glasses on a double arch shape. Filters in the grid sidebar let you narrow the designs by style, colour and print method.
For a surprise party, edit the wording on the Surprise design so guests are asked to arrive before the guest of honour and keep the secret. The wording on any design can be edited for a dirty thirty, a cocktail night or a dinner, while keeping the tone right for the whole guest list when colleagues or family are invited. For a broader set of ideas, read the party invitation ideas guide and the birthday invitation wording guide.
Ordering online, proof and delivery
These are the steps for 30th birthday invitations from the editor to the party.
- Open the design you like as a template and personalise the wording in the online editor.
- A designer sends a free digital proof within 1 to 2 business days after the order is placed.
- You can request edits to the proof again and again without limit. Give final proof approval once the wording and layout are right.
- Production begins only after you approve the final proof. The table gives the production times for the three examples, and each product page lists the production time for its design. The cards are printed in Melbourne.
- StarTrack Premium delivers the order free. For metro addresses, delivery usually arrives the business day after dispatch. For regional and rural addresses, allow more time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Every design is sold as printed cards delivered to you. The template is the starting design you personalise online before ordering, and nothing is supplied as a file.
Order one invitation per household rather than per guest. The quantity selector runs from 10 to 300 in steps of 10. On Paperlust Matte, Suddenly 30 costs A$4.70 each at 30 cards, A$4.14 each at 50 cards, and A$2.80 each at 100 cards, so the per-card price drops as the order grows.
Wording should cover who the party is for, the occasion, date and time, venue and address, and RSVP details. A funny or cheeky line works only if it still suits colleagues and family on the guest list. The designer proof shows the final layout. Check the names, date and venue on it, because text errors that you approved sit outside the guarantee.
If your party date is close, add rush production at checkout for A$50 when the order is eligible. Rush orders using digital printing or white ink are produced within 1 to 2 business days of proof approval. A rushed flat foil order takes 3 to 5 working days, but not on Vellum paper. Foil stamp cannot be rushed. Delivery time comes on top of production.
Premium white envelopes are included with Suddenly 30, Surprise and Raise a Toast. Other envelope colours and liners are available at extra cost. Guest addresses can be printed on the envelopes for A$0.20 each in black and white or A$0.35 each in colour.
A sample pack costs A$5 and shows papers and print methods. A printed sample of a digital printing design costs A$15, and a swatch kit costs A$20. These are sent by regular post and take 5 to 7 business days.
If the order arrives with a print fault, tell Paperlust within 30 days of dispatch. The 100% Print Happiness Guarantee means the order is reprinted first. After that, credit or a refund is offered.
