With the evolution and revolution of technology and communication methods, the use of social media and online seems to have taken over. Even though this more high tech, fast paced way of getting or receiving messages, is more practical I still believe that the old-fashioned way should take first place when certain news needs to be told. Weddings are so personal and intimate that an online invite would not be remembered as a way of sending out your save the dates, but a handmade invite shows and creates a personal touch that will make your guests feel appreciated.
This blog will illustrate the perfect wedding stationery can display your character and personality as a couple.
It’s All in the detail
All the attention to details goes on the dress, the flowers, the cake, but they need to be carried on when it comes to your favours, thank you notes, save the dates, signs, table plans and guestbook. Each should be presented in accordance with your wedding theme and décor; it is the little items such as those listed that guests will take interest in. If you create personalized items it shows not only that you appreciate your guests but also that you take pride in the details.
