Getting married? Time to start thinking about your stationary. So your thinking what stationary, I just need invitations, right? Oh no, there is so much more.
"Today’s invitations are as unique as the world is around us. There are hundreds of different card stocks, handmade papers of various colors, velum overlays and many other paper qualities or even fabrics to choose from. You can order pre-designed invitations that best suit your style, or you can stylize your own invitation with colorful sketches, illustrations, engravings, hand-sewn decorative edging, custom monograms and elegant hand lettering. There are so many selections to choose from." -Susan Hellman
Here are your stationary needs:
Save the date- The teaser. Save-the-Date allows your guests to prepare well in advance for their traveling arrangements. If your wedding guests are coming from far distances, it’s best to give them 12 months to prepare.
Invitations and response cards- They set the stage for the wedding . Sent out eight to 12 weeks before the wedding, they give details about the ceremony and reception and may also include invitations to the rehearsal dinner. It is standard to enclose response cards.
Programs- They tell the story. Programs are designed to acquaint your guests with your ceremony and introduce your participants.
Seating cards- Introduction to the reception. This small card gives your guest their table assignment.
Place cards- Place cards show the guest where to sit at the table.
Menu cards- Main attraction. These describe the menu courses and add a nice touch.
Thank you notes- Pretty self explanatory. Thank your guests for gifts and attendance.
So much to decide and personalize. That's why we started DragonFly invitations, to give our clients their own personalized invitations. We do all of the above mentioned stationary.
