Top Tips!
So, it’s all systems go. The big question has been popped and excitement is brewing; YAY! Venue booked, guest list created but, what’s next? Stationery of course.
You want incredible invitations that have people envious of your big day before it's even here, and ideally you want to do it all without being overwhelmed & well, without a poorly bank balance, right? But, and it‘s a big but, you have no idea where to start, what you need and how to get it. Don’t worry, KM Stationery has got you covered.
Kirsty says “As a stationery designer it is my job to help you plan your stationery without the unnecessary drama of trying to figure out when to send it, what you need or trying to do it yourself! I will be that someone to help you navigate through all of those little details, to decide what you really need (or don’t need) and to ensure the end result is show stopping! In the meantime, I have a few hints and tips for any newly engaged couples who have no idea where to start…
PLEASE do not be afraid to just jump into my inbox and ask questions - it's what I’m here for, no question is stupid - unless its 'is my stationery going to be amazing?!'
If you have a strict budget, let me know and let's talk about what we CAN do with the budget you have - just because the quote came back more than you had hoped, doesn't mean we can’t work around it and put our heads together to find a less costly alternative. A quote is exactly that - a quote. It can be chopped and changed, increased, decreased.
Use my 'Wedding Stationery Explained' PDF (available to download at www.kmstationeryanddesign.com) to help you along the way - it's free and it’s there to be used as much as you need.
Invites are per household, not per person. This is a mistake I see over and over and can be costly!
If you have an idea, something wild and out there - share it! I am always up for a bespoke stationery suite - I LOVE them!
Check your spelling when sending important information such as guest names, locations, venues etc - this is SO important.
If you have the budget - add those finishing touches, that wax seal, that silk ribbon - your stationery will set the tone for your guests before your big day.
Please check with your fiancé before committing - you may think they don’t want to be involved but they absolutely do!
Feedback to your stationer. We adore being on the journey with you, we love getting excited and seeing your nearest and dearest get excited too. We love seeing how you have styled your stationery, we love using your wedding pictures for thank you cards. We love it all - so let us be your wedding bestie for a while!
