Of all the important aspects of planning a wedding (or any event for that matter), selecting the right stationery is often overlooked.

People assume their invitations will end up in the rubbish or remain stuck to a guests fridge, fading in the daylight, long after the event is over.

But the thing is, a custom design, unique to your day, can last much longer than you think and in 2024, elegant and well crafted invitations are becoming treasured keepsakes for friends and family. What's more, invites are becoming crucial focal points for wedding photographers during those 'getting ready' photo sessions.

Custom designed stationery also gives you the chance to really insert your own personality (as an individual, couple or group) into the design; whether it be through clever font pairings, colour choices with cardstock or even personalised quotes to your guests, the sky really is the limit.

Now, I know I'm hearing "but custom stationery is expensive'...

Yes, this can be true... Cost greatly depends on the designer you choose to go with.

But huge tip, expensive doesn't always mean quality and quality doesn't always have to be expensive.

If a custom design is something you desire, shop around. You'll find what you're looking for and an amazing designer who understands what you are trying to convey. & if they're good at their job, the end result will be magical and everlasting.
