Wedding Wording
If you'll be tying the knot in a less-than-traditional setting, the wording of the wedding invitation can be as creative as you want: Think meaningful quotations, song lyrics, or any other phrases that will give your guests a sense of the style of your wedding.
Who pays for what?
Working out a budget for your wedding is one of the first things that should be done, once the date is set. Will the ceremony be formal, semiformal or informal? Who pays for what? Unlike a decade ago, the lines are no longer rigidly drawn. The burden of paying for the wedding has shifted in recent years from the shoulders of the father of the bride, to include the groom's family. Also, with many couples marrying later and having money of their own, they are sharing in the expenses.
Frequently asked questions
When should we contact you for a consultation?
You can schedule a consultation at any point between to 4-10 months before your wedding date, but we suggest that you give yourself enough time to decide on wedding colors, budget, and design style.
How long does it take to make custom invitation?
We should start the process at least 3-5 months before the wedding. The design and production stages take about 1.5-2 months total.
What are your prices for wedding invitations?
Because everything I do is custom, the price is different for every invitation set. The style of invitation, types of papers used, number of inserts, number of layers, size of invitation, types of printing, number of envelopes, use of ribbons and quantity all impact price. The best thing to do is to determine your real budget and we can work together to create a beautiful invitation.
How many invitations should we order?
When you have a solid count of the number of invitations needed, we suggest you add an additional 5-10. It's very expensive to make and additional 4 or 5 more after your initial order
When should we mail our Save-the-Dates?
Save-the-Dates are typically sent out anywhere from 6 months to a year before the wedding date. Destination weddings and weddings on holiday weekends should definitely consider an earlier mailing so guests can make their plans early.
What should we use for an RSVP date?
RSVP deadlines are typically 2-3 weeks before the wedding. This leaves time both for the guests to determine their plans but also leaves enough time for you to finalize seating arrangements.
Can you design other pieces for my wedding?
For your reception we can create seating charts, table numbers, menus, bar menus, placecards, signage, favor tags, etc.
When should I mail my invitations?
You should mail your wedding invitations 6-8 weeks before your wedding. If you are having a destination wedding, 10-12 weeks is sufficient.
