Choosing your Unique Wedding Invitations
Your wedding is just entering the planning stages and you’ve got a mountain of work to do. Aside from the amazing wedding dress and flower arrangements that you envision for your wedding, there is another important item that you should try to spend some time on: your personalized wedding stationery and invitations. Below are some quality considerations that you will want to get right so that you can send the highest quality wedding invitations possible for your event:
Handmade Unique Wedding Stationery vs. MassMarket
When ordering a mass produced wedding invitation you are often confined to the designs on hand. The companies that produce these stationery sets usually produce large quantities in advance and simply print your wedding details on them. Handmade invitations which are made to order by a designer allow you to be very specific about which design elements you can use such as paper stocks, ribbons and accents. These types of unique wedding invitations can also be developed and refined until you have the right design for you. Be sure you are aware of this before you hit the “approved” button on a mass produced set of wedding invitations.
Paper Stock – The All Important Element
If there is one thing you make sure of, make sure that the paper stock you are getting is of a very high and exceptional quality. Poor grade and cheap card stock can make the wrong impression when opened and can torpedo your unique wedding invitation’s impression of quality very quickly. Some heavy card stock can be used to make a high quality invitation but the stocks that are made from cotton and other blending processes tend to have a softer feel and texture. These stocks also have visually appealing qualities and can instantly give the impression of quality - something that should not be overlooked.
A way to guarantee a BIG mistake is to have your unique wedding invitations guide made on one type of paper stock and have your envelope made with another (usually lower quality) paper. If your unique wedding invitations are in fact handmade, this is usually never a problem. Quality Costs More, But It’s Worth Its Weight In Gold
If you truly want to make an excellent first impression by sending unique wedding invitations, custom announcements and save the date cards, it is definitely worth it to spend the extra money. It is easy to do this with handmade unique wedding invitations and paying attention to the guidelines offered here.
