With so many items on your to-do list, it's easy to be overwhelmed with planning your wedding. Since wedding invitation planning has to start 8 or more months in advance of your wedding date, it's something that, if done by yourself, can easily be overwhelming and daunting. Details can be lost, postage calculated incorrectly, and wording etiquette executed incorrectly.
That's why a wedding stationery designer is one of THE most important people to hire as soon as possible.
Here are four reasons to hire a wedding stationer:
1. TIME SAVING
A wedding stationer, like myself, takes care of all the pesky tasks that brides usually end up spending hours upon hours trying to accomplish, enlisting the help of their mom, friend, roommate, etc.
Producing a full wedding invitation suite takes a lot of time and effort. Each card has to be printed, names painstakingly written on envelopes, stamps perfectly aligned to each corner, envelope seals smoothly adhered, and that's not even including extra details like wax seals, vintage postage, velvet or silk ribbon, or belly bands. And this process has to be repeated, on average, about 100 times for all the households you're sending invitations to! Phew. Tired yet?
When you're trying to execute all those tasks in the midst of planning so many other things, it can take up more of your precious time than it should. Leave it to the experts, who will assemble your invitations flawlessly, and spend some valuable time with your fiancé instead!
Wedding stationers are experts in all the intricacies of wedding etiquette, from whose name to list first on addressing, how to word the details of your venue, and when to list out information in full form instead of abbreviations.
Without a wedding stationer, you'll spend hours on Google trying to figure out the details of wording a wedding invitation. What do I list on my invitation? Where do I put the location of the event? How do I word the dress code?
And then, even after all that time spent trying to figure out the details of wedding etiquette, you'll be wondering if you got it right, or if you ended up forgetting something after all.
Say goodbye to the stress, and let your conscience rest so that you can focus on the more enjoyable parts of planning your wedding, and the things that really matter. With a wedding stationer's expertise, they know all the details of wording and etiquette, and will even take care of it all behind the scenes so that you're not at all worried about the end result.
3. DESIGN EXPERTISE
Wedding stationers are experienced in designing, so your invitations will be beautifully designed in your exact aesthetic and color palette. Have a very specific color or shade you'd love to see reflected through all your wedding paper? We can match that color exactly. Have a fun pattern you've been dreaming of that you'd love to have printed on your invitations? Or a whimsical wedding crest you'd like featured on all wedding cards and envelopes? We can make it happen.
The best part about hiring a wedding stationer is that they can make your dreams come to life. With just a quick design call, we'll take note of any details regarding your color palette, vision, illustrations, and finishing touches so that your invitations reflect your vision exactly.
It's your wedding. So your wedding invitations should be all you, all the way. Whatever your vision is, we'll beautifully design it using watercolor, paper, and luxurious add-ons.
4. HIGH QUALITY
Lastly, wedding stationers are passionate paper people. We use only the best, highest quality paper and materials to achieve that luxurious, thoughtful feel that you're looking for.
When your guests open their mailbox, you don't want your wedding invitations to have folds, scratches, rips, or tears from cheap, poorly sourced materials. Using the highest quality paper, ribbon, seals, and envelopes means that your wedding invitations will be protected, and they will be presented in the best way possible, from the moment your guests open their mailbox.
So, is it worth it to hire a wedding stationer? Undoubtedly, yes.
For the time and effort it takes to figure out all the details regarding your invitations, your wedding stationer can flawlessly take care of all of those concerns for you, without you having to lift a hand (or Google another wedding question)!
In the words on one of my past clients, Laura, here's why custom wedding invitations are worth it:
"We are so pleased with our wedding invitations from Caroline Ann! We had a quick turnaround in which we needed to send out our invitations and Caroline worked quickly and skillfully to bring our vision to life. She is such a talented artist and it was a seamless process, with no added stress, to work with her. We cannot recommend Caroline enough!"
