Wedding Paper Divas

I've recently designed and ordered invitations, RSVP Cards (two different types!), Reception Cards, 'Wishing Well' Cards, and all the necessary envelopes with return addresses pre-printed from Wedding Paper Divas in cooperation with one of my brides.  I must say, although we went back and forth for weeks regarding colours (I'm talking CMYK adjustments of 1 or 2, cream background or grey background? all the necessary fuss to make your invites perfect and oddly part of the reason I like what I do), Wedding Paper Divas made it easy.  With endless possibilities for designs and options to customize, all you have to do is enter your text and choose what items from the same line you need (YES I DO believe in outer AND inner envelopes!).  In addition, we had a professional designer send us our digital proofs with new suggestions we hadn't thought of.  


Take a look at a few of my recent favorites!

Invitation help!

That daunting task of sending out your invites is coming up (exciting if you know what you're doing, daunting if you're inviting 500 people and hand writing each invitation) - here's a guideline for addressing your invites! These are suggestions of course, as invitation etiquette is different depending on who you ask. This style combines a formal outer envelope, allowing for a modern and less formal inner envelope. I do recommend two envelopes, however, if you skip the inner envelope then you need to formally address your guests - which is also up for debate! Are titles too old fashioned? Many would say they're necessary, but some brides and choosing a more modern route and addressing the envelopes using each persons full name, free of titles. I won't even start on the hand-written versus printed label debate....
