Sizes and colors have your head spinning? Stop the insanity!
Does type font, paper or designs have you frazzled? We are here to save the day! Meet with our invitation experts that will create the most memorable invitations.
Our invitation representatives will create any type of invitation. Save the Date or invitations is the first to go out. Have an idea of the theme or style of your wedding or event. The price per invite can vary from $1 to more than $100. It all depends on the design, ink, typeface, printing process, paper and quantity. Also, if you’re planning to hire a calligrapher, look into the cost of about $2 to $8 per envelope. Be sure to account for it in your stationery budget.
Classic choices of ivory, cream or white card stock paired with black or gold font is a best. Typically, pastels and hard-to-read fonts like an overly scripted typeface can sacrifice readability.
A 4.5-inch-by-6.25-inch rectangular card is the traditional size and shape for wedding invitations. Trends are becoming more playful or fun with modern shapes such as circular, scalloped and square invitations. The only drawback is they can increase the postage.
Traditionally, whoever is hosting the wedding is listed first on the invitation. Customarily, you should spell everything out, including the time of the ceremony. On classic wedding invitations, there’s always a request line after the host’s name such as “request the honor of your presence.” Don’t try to squeeze too much information onto the invitation. To save on pricing, have directions and venue details added to a wedding website.
Ordering everything from one stationer can save you time and money. It will also make the invitation process easier on you.
Prior to the wedding:
Find stationer 9 to 11 months
Save-the-date cards 6 to 8 months
Order invitations 4 to 5 months
Mail invitations 6 to 8 weeks, (destination or holiday weddings, mail invitations 10 to 12 weeks)
Include RSVP information on the bottom right corner of your invitation or on a separate enclosure card. The more time you give guests to reply, the more likely they are to forget. The deadline should be at least 1 week prior to your final head count. Be sure to remember that your final count will affect the number of centerpieces and other decor elements.
Remember:
Order extra (about 25)
Think of a stamper for return address
Thank you cards
