Wedding Invitations
When ordering wedding invitations, make sure that you always order a few more then you are expecting to mail out. When you will be writing the invitations you might realize that you should have had someone on the list but did not. When ordeing wedding invitations online, look out for great templates available. Also, some sites let you custom design your ideal Wedding invitations. Either way, check to see if you can get samples before ordering a large amount.
Since it costs quite a bit to have them printed, it is good to just have them handy. Make your own wedding invitations or have a relative or friend do it. More than likely you have a budding artist in you circle of acquaintances that would love to try their hand as some hand made paper invitations. Chicago also has great stores where you can go, see, and feel all wedding invitations. They give great help and even better ideas.
Ask Friends for Ideas !
Maybe another friend does calligraphy? Ask them to help. That’s what friends are for! When you create your wedding invitations, include a line on the RSVP card for the guest to include a song they’d like to hear at your reception.
This way, you’ll ensure that you play music your guests will want enjoy, and they will be excited to hear the song they chose. If you have a huge list of wedding invitations to write out, do not do them all in one sitting. Make sure to make time to break them up over a few days. If you do too many in one day, then the writing on the last ones will start to look pretty bad.
Wedding Invitations & Stationery Photos: Frequently Asked Questions
Why is dedicated photography of our wedding invitation suite important?
Your invitation suite sets the tone for your entire wedding style and aesthetic. Capturing styled flat-lay photographs preserves the typography, paper textures, calligraphy, and custom design details of your wedding stationery for your album.
What items should we include in our invitation detail setup?
For the best styling results, bring two complete sets of your invitation suite (including main invites, save-the-dates, RSVP cards, envelopes with stamps, and detail inserts), along with wax seals, ribbons, or vintage stamps you’d like featured.
When during the wedding day do you capture stationery flat-lays?
I photograph your invitation suite during the morning preparation hours alongside your rings, shoes, and perfume. This allows me dedicated, undisturbed time to compose beautiful, artfully styled lay-down photos using natural light.
Do you supply styling props for invitation flat-lays?
Yes! I carry styling boards, neutral backdrops, ring boxes, and subtle props to complement your suite, while also incorporating natural elements from your wedding day like loose floral stems or greenery.
Can our stationer or calligrapher use these images?
Yes, absolutely! High-resolution digital files with personal usage rights are included, and vendor cross-tagging or image sharing for your stationers, calligraphers, and designers is always encouraged.
