Designing an invitation suite is like setting the stage for your wedding day—it’s the first glimpse your guests will have of your unique love story. From elegant fonts to timeless details, every element is carefully chosen to reflect your theme and personality. Let’s make your first impression unforgettable!

Here are some helpful hints for creating stunning wedding invitations:

Start Early: Begin the design process 4-6 months before your wedding to allow time for proofs, printing, and addressing.

Set the Tone: Your invitations should reflect your wedding’s style—whether it’s formal, rustic, modern, or whimsical.

Keep It Clear: Include essential details like names, date, time, location, and RSVP instructions. Avoid overcrowding with extra text.

Choose Quality Materials: High-quality paper and printing methods, like letterpress or foil stamping, can make a big impact.

Personalize It: Incorporate your wedding colors, monograms, or motifs that tie into your theme.

Proofread Carefully: Double-check spelling, dates, and addresses. Have a few others review it as well.

Consider an RSVP Card: Include a response card with a return envelope or set up a digital RSVP option for convenience.

Match the Suite: Coordinate the design across all stationery items, such as save-the-dates, menus, and thank-you cards.

Ask About Postage: Uniquely sized or heavy invitations may require additional postage. Check with your post office.

Order Extras: Print extra invitations and envelopes to account for errors, last-minute additions, and keepsakes.

Test Mail Them: Send one invitation to yourself to ensure it arrives as intended.

This event was a little different and so fun; it was a cocktail reception. You will notice the bar is set-up in front of the fireplace, typically where the sweetheart table goes!
