❤️ IN LOVE with these save the dates created for K & D for their wedding at the beautiful Inn on the Lake ❤️ This couple wanted an illustration created taken from an image they had seen for the venue, and voila! Beautifully finished with pink silk chiffon ribbon and envelopes 🩷

HUGE congratulations to the wonderful Abigail and Gareth who finally got married today! 🥳 It’s been such a pleasure doing your wedding stationery, from invitations right through to your on the day items. Have the best day ever and can’t wait to see some photos from your day at the gorgeous Town Head Estate ♥️

Sometimes all you need is a minimalist design with a few luxury finishes thrown in to add that final touch 👌 In this case wax seals and chiffon ribbon 💚

These 🫶. Absolutely loved creating these bespoke save the dates for C & O. They turned out so beautiful and the chiffon ribbon really finished them off 👌

Like something like these for your wedding stationery? Get in touch as I would really love to create more (and I don’t just do Lake District weddings!)😁

No stationery for now 😉 🐶. For us, there was no doubt to be had about including our dog, Sam in our wedding. It helped practically living opposite the venue of course which meant we could go and get him as and when we could. Pretty sure he had no idea what was going on but it was special for us to have him there 🤍. Including your dog in your celebration?

How do you make talking about pricing sound a nice thing? It’s pretty hard to be honest.

I really struggled when I initially set up with pricing. In all honesty, I am still learning. It’s constant trial & error. One thing I have learnt over the years is to believe in my own worth & price accordingly. I want to be as the person selling a service, better in communicating my value. Hopefully then the more they’ll come to understand the value of the product of I deliver 🤞

I want to be upfront with my pricing. I have wasted a lot (& I mean a lot) of time going back & forth with sending numerous quotes only to find out they never want to pay anywhere near that for your product. That is fair enough. I’ve organised a wedding myself with little budget so I know how it is to be on the other side 🙂

How can ‘paper’ cost so much? What I would very much like get across is that my stationery, along with many other fellow stationers, is that it’s not ‘just a piece of paper’ that is produced on everyday household inkjet paper (I hope it doesn’t look like that either 😉). So much more is behind it all.

I think potential customers really struggle to understand what value & time you bring to your work. I really hope I show that, but apologise if I have failed to do so. In the early stages I was too desperate to hear those words ‘happy to proceed with the order’ that I massively undercut myself & therefore made very little profit margin. We are all worth more than that & you have to believe that clients will pay for what they desire & value highly enough.

I’m finally getting more confident to have pride in what I do & to not be afraid of saying no to working for less. We deserve to reflect our value in the prices we charge as designers & stationers. Design takes time & good design has expertise & experience behind it. My designs are all done with my own time, effort & skill.

What might help at the very beginning of an enquiry is to be open (& don’t be afraid of doing so) of what you are roughly budgeting for stationery so time is saved for us both 🙏🏼 Thanks for reading if you made it to the end 😆. I appreciate every single enquiry & order no matter how big or small x

Give your guests notice 😉 Just like the very well prepared Paul & Holly for their wedding Inn on the Lake not next year, but the year after. It’s particularly a good idea if you are getting married during what can be a busy time of the year such as the holiday season or bank holiday weekends. The Lakes is a busy (for obvious reasons 😁) spot & things like accommodation can book up well in advance. So do the good thing & let them know as soon as you can!

🫶 There are many ways to add a little ‘extra’ touch to your invitations. The options are almost endless. But one is a very cute vellum wrap with wax thread and a monogram wax seal 🤍 Just enquire if this interests you!

• Let’s talk shapes! •

I now offer a variety of shape finishes for your invitations. You can even get super creative and mix it up and have a combination. Available in a choice of sizes also.

If you would like to consider the wavy or arch shape in ANY of the designs then please get in contact for a full quote (prices vary with shape).

👉 Please note: If you order directly online, this is for the ‘standard’ rectangular shape only.

👀 Want to go different and go big? Well table plans, welcome signs and order of events are also available in the below!

Ever thought of using a QR code on your invitations? These are certainly a great way to direct guests quickly to a number of things including your wedding website, to RSVP and gift lists 🎁. And a QR code doesn’t have to look ugly either and spoil your invites just like the fine example below!

Lead times for your on-the-day stationery 🗓️

Whilst I can turnaround some stationery items in 3 weeks, I would fully advise ordering items at least a month in advance (ideally 2 months 😉).

💍 Table plans, welcome signs, order of events, menus, place names, table names, guestbooks, order of services - just pop me an email or order online.

July wedding? Then send me an email [email protected] and we’ll get you sorted ✌️

🗺️ Who doesn’t love a map as part of their invitations? Thankfully a lot of you do! 🤩 Let me know if this is something you wish to include. Not only do they help your guests find their way to your venue(s), but they also add that extra bit of interest.

Some pretty Save the Dates sent out the other week 🤍 This was a view chosen by the couple from the ‘Pick you own View’ option and fitted perfectly for their venue at Inn on the Lake of course!

Skipping an April fools post to share some realness instead 😘 This week was finished by sending these out the door. It’s been such a delight working on these for K&H especially the map 🗺️.

05/03/2023

✔️ Menus
✔️ Welcome Sign
✔️ Place Names
✔️ Order of Service (church wedding)
✔️ Order of the Day
✔️ Table Plan
✔️ Guest Book
✔️ Table Names

If your wedding is fast approaching and you need any (or all 😉) of the above then let me know. There is still time to get it sorted if required for the end of March and further on!

A classic blend for L & A 💙 Return RSVP address stickers are great to make it more convenient for your guests and to spare up room should you need it on your RSVP’s.

Wonderful little postcards of joy to say ‘we’re getting married, you better save our date!’. Save the Dates aren’t always a necessity, but they do take a bit of pressure off and give you time to finalise all that extra information for your invitations. So why not sit back a little whilst you carry on booking and organising everything else knowing that your guest list is finalised and warned 😉🥳 Loved these little beauties for a wedding at Armathwaite Hall Hotel and Spa 🤍

ORDER PROCESS 👇

So this can happen one of two ways…
🖥️ order through the website - www.lilyandjacksstudio.com
📧 email myself with your requirements - [email protected]

THEN WHAT? 👇

Once you have either placed your order online or confirmed your stationery order with myself via email, you will be sent the booking form to fill in. This form asks for your stationery wording. Once this form has been emailed back, I will pop together your digital proofs. You get to see your stationery mocked up BEFORE anything goes to print and also have the chance to make any amendments required to the wording/layout.
Then BOOM 💥 your stationery can go to print once you have given the full go ahead!

😳 Worried about how to word your invitations? Don’t be! Just ask for my wording guideline which covers day guest invite wording, evening guests, what details to include on any information, RSVP’s and all those little bits and pieces that can get overlooked or forgotten in the excitement (🥳) of planning your wedding.

21/01/2023

RSVP • it’s amazing just how many details you can fit onto an A6 RSVP. Should you require your guests to answer a few further questions aside from the obvious yes or no to attending, then you can always opt for a double sided one like this 👆
This option is available online ✅

NEW map design 🗺️ for a lovely couple getting married over near the Peak District. Quite possibly one of my favourite jobs to do!
