Wax seals are by far one of the easiest ways to kick your wedding invitations up a notch. I mean, they’re shimmery, gorgeous, and they give your envelopes a little extra heft (but not too much heft), which automatically makes your invitations feel high-end. Plus, they’re a great way to customize your invites from the get-go, making them feel more like you and incorporating meaningful details from your relationship – even if (ahem, especially if) you’re using a template.
But we’re often inundated with questions about doing wax seals properly: Can I buy them pre-made? Will they cost more to mail? How do I order a custom stamp?
Not only will I walk you through everything you need to know
about doing your own wax seals, but I’ll tell you which companies we swear by and
which ones we’ll never buy from again. I’ll even answer all those wax seal
questions you were too afraid to ask, like Can
I use a candle for wax seals? and Will
wax seals melt in the mail?
This is just a super honest review of my experience with Minted wedding invitations (ahem, the competition). This post is in no way sponsored by Minted, so I can give it to you 100% straight.
As a small-scale wedding stationery company, we’re always getting emails from couples who want quality invites without blowing their entire wedding budget. We always do our best to stretch your budget the furthest, but even so, custom designs just aren’t in the cards for everyone. And although it might be considered “bad for business”, if you’re one of those couples, I want to refer you somewhere I know can meet your needs at a lower price point.
Which is why I spent hundreds of dollars of my own money testing out the competition…
About 8-12 months before your wedding, you’re going to want to give friends and family a heads up so they can begin making arrangements. Although it’s not completely necessary, most couples choose to do this by sending save the date cards to everyone on the guest list.
But you already knew all that, right? (I thought so.)
Last week we answered the top save the date questions we hear all the time (everything from when to order them to whether or not you even need them). But if you’ve already bought your cards and you’re getting ready to mail ’em out, chances are you’re just wondering how to address save the dates properly.
Read on and we’ll teach you how to address save the dates in 5 minutes flat.
If you’re reading this, chances are you’re engaged—so let me
start by saying, congratulations! Engagement
season just came to a close and that means that save the date season is just getting
started. So what better time to go over the ins and outs of invitation suites
and all the stationery that comes with it, yes? I promise to answer all your
burning invitation questions in later posts, but first up, let’s talk about
save the dates.
I work with engaged couples all the time and I end up hearing a lot of the same questions over and over again: Are save the dates really necessary? How do I address the envelopes? Can I send them electronically or do I have to have them printed?
Trust me, most newly engaged couples are just as confused as you are. Here are the most frequently asked save the date questions we hear all the time.
