Your lovely invitations just arrived in the mail… But your new 5 x 7 invitations (also called A7 invitations) are too big to fit in your pocket folds.

And this particular invitation has an extra personal touch.  The mother-of-the bride […]

When we attended the Arizona Bridal Show recently, one of the most frequently asked questions from couples was “Do I need a Save-the-Date?” –  closely followed by “What’s the difference between a Save-the-Date and the actual invitation?” Let’s take the second question first: A Save-the-Date card is normally sent out 6 months to a year […]

We’ve been seeing bold patterns trending in almost every industry this season, so it’s no surprise that these same designs are carrying over into the wedding industry!

Your invitation is one of the first things your guests will see to introduce them to your wedding.

Your invitation sets the mood for your entire celebration, so whether it’s for a wedding, birthday, Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah, anniversary or birth, the look of your invitation says as almost as much about the event as your wording does. Calligraphy-style fonts with lots of swirls and flourishes are very popular this year, and […]

This week’s top trend is one of our favorites – telling the story of the couple and how they got together!     The story-telling invitation, designed by the bride, takes guests through their first meeting in high school through their on-again/off-again long distance courtship, and ultimately invites guests to the wedding. The design utilizes […]
