When I was planning our ceremony, one of our substantial issues was the save-the-dates, invitations and thank you cards; I felt strongly that these forms of communication would set the tone for the entire ceremony.
I was hoping to put on a sophisticated and wonderful event.
I had done some research online however didn’t like the quality of the product I found. I needed to consult with a professional who could explain options and offer personalized recommendations. I was uncertain about everything from color and weight of the paper to font and the timing of when to send everything, there are a limited number of brick-and-mortar businesss available that provide printing services. I was forced to drive over an eighth to kneel down with someone who specializes in stationary, invitations and other options, but she was severely know-howable and very helpful. I was able to see and think samples of paper and envelopes. I could compare different colors and better match the theme for the ceremony. The lady at the printing shop assisted myself and others with all decisions and made the whole process much easier; While I am sure I spent more money than I would have by simply ordering the items online, I am convinced I was rewarded with better quality. I was totally satisfied with the results. My save-the-date cards included a charming picture of our fiance and I and all relevant information. The invitations include RSVP cards with envelopes, then everything was very professionally done and our order arrived in plenty of time. I wish the rest of the ceremony planning would have gone as smoothly.
