The Value of Quality Stationery for your Wedding or Event

Over the past twelve years I have heard the phrase “I want cheap invitations, they are just going to end up in the garbage” more times than I want to admit. I usually hear it from passing brides at bridal shows but occasionally I hear it in my studio during a consultation. I am not very good at hiding the emotion on my face (seriously, did you just say my work is trash?) or fighting the impulse to give them a speech that goes like this:
      “Everything for your wedding is going to be used once, your dress will be worn once and then shoved in a closet, the flowers will die, the linens and rentals will be returned to the company that owns them…let’s not talk about where the catering goes. Your Invitations are one of the only things that can be kept, and if they are beautiful they will be kept – especially by the people who matter.”
       When you are planning your wedding you are creating a brand- a cohesive look to flow through all the details and create a beautiful picture for you and your guests to remember forever. Your wedding stationery is the very first glance of your event. It will set the tone, tell them how to dress, what to expect for the day, how long to plan on staying and also how nice of a gift to buy. The old saying “your gift should cover your plate” still holds true today. If you receive an impressive invitation you are more likely to spend more on the gift than if you receive a cheap, flimsy or poorly designed invitation. Lets be honest, you are also more likely to attend if it is a nice invitation. A couple years ago I received a invitation from one of my husbands distant family members. It was horrible, not only was it printed on cheap paper with a poor design but it also had obvious  spelling errors and incorrect wording. We were not dying to attend that wedding…lets just put it that way.
