You don’t get to see my face much around here! Usually, I’m hiding behind a computer screen all day. 😂 So here I am, proof that there is, in fact, a human being behind all the pretty paper!
But since you’re here, let’s talk about why hiring a professional stationer is different from designing your invitations yourself.
With so many DIY options out there, it’s easier than ever to make an invitation. But there’s a lot more that goes into creating a great wedding invitation than plugging your names into a template.
It’s about choosing the right paper that will work best with your printing method and vision.
It’s knowing which fonts, colors, and elements work together to create a beautiful, intentional design.
It’s understanding what wording goes on your invitation (and what definitely doesn’t belong on it).
It’s knowing when a design needs more breathing room—or less.
It’s sourcing all the pretty extras and finishes that aren’t always available to the average consumer.
It’s making sure all of your paper goods tie together, from the invitation to the menus, place cards, and signage.
It’s handling all the tedious details like assembly, embellishments, addressing, and mailing.
And it’s having enough experience to catch the little things before they become expensive problems.
Most importantly, it’s taking your ideas and creating something that feels like you, rather than starting with a template and trying to make yourselves fit into it.
So yes, you can design your own invitations. But there’s a difference between making an invitation and working with someone whose job is to make wedding stationery.
And that difference is what you’re investing in. 🤍
