Even in the wedding industry (or maybe I should say, especially in the wedding industry), selling digital products and ready-made designs is looked down upon. Dime a dozen designers on sites like Etsy, Zazzle and Creative Market have made having a passive income stream seem somewhat dirty.
And truthfully, I get it.
Most wedding invitation designers have positioned themselves as “artists” making “timeless keepsakes” in order to stay alive in a competitive market. So for someone like me to swoop in and sell digital products, well, it’s kind of discouraged.
Hooray, so you just got engaged. Congratulations! Whether you’re just starting to look at invitations or you’ve already narrowed down your design and purchased your cardstock, I’m sure the question has crossed your mind at one point or another: how do I word wedding invitations, anyway? Good news. Nailing your wedding invitation wording couldn’t be easier.
While invitation messages typically follows a few rules, we’re big fans of mixing it up and doing what feels right to you and your husband-or-wife-to-be. We’ve put together a handy little cheat sheet breaking down what goes where and how to say it, but at the end of the day, let your gut be your guide and say what you feel.
This is your day, after all, and it should be a reflection of you.
One thing I’ve never understood is why beautiful, personalized wedding invitations have to be so expensive. Consider me old school (or even a bit naïve), but it’s just paper, right?
(Just kidding, I know they’re not “just paper” but that still doesn’t mean they have to cost so much!)
As a designer I know that a lot of blood, sweat and tears go into designing wedding stationery, and sometimes that’s where the primo price tag comes from. But just because you’re on a budget doesn’t mean you can’t have the gorgeous invitations of your dreams (that’s our motto here at Pipkin Paper Company so you’ll be hearing it a lot from us!).
With just a little bit of glue and a few sheets of gold foil you can doll up your printed wedding invites and make them look like a million bucks – all while secretly laughing when your guests gush over how pretty and professional they look.
When it comes to wedding invitations, hand-canceling is a term you’ll see thrown around a lot. Ideally, you’d be able to pick up your invitations from the calligrapher on Monday night and pop ’em in the mailbox Tuesday morning. But wedding invitations, being big, bulky, and expensive, usually require a little more TLC than that. One way to ensure your invitations are delivered in one piece is by having them hand-canceled at the post office.
