Consider all Costs<\/h2> <div class=\"blockquote_author\"><div class=\"blockquote right\"><div class=\"inner-quote\"><p>When setting a budget for wedding stationery, there is of course, the cost of the actual invitation. What people always seem to forget is the cost of postage. Is your mailer regular domestic, oversize, or international? Those are costs that need to be accounted for. Your stationer will be able to provide you with the current going rate of postage. I really love creating matching custom postage to really personalize your invitation suite.<\/p> <p>Also, don't forget about all the day-of stationery! That's your seating chart, place cards, menus and signage. The day-of stationery is a great way to reinforce your theme and take your wedding from cookie-cutter to tailored.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"details detail-right\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAzNTQgMzU0IiB3aWR0aD0iMzU0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjM1NCIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMTglMkYwMyUyRkNhcm9sLUxhbS5wbmciIGRhdGEtdz0iMzU0IiBkYXRhLWg9IjM1NCIgZGF0YS1iaXA9IiI+PC9zdmc+\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"Photo of Carol Lam\"\/><div class=\"author-wrap\"><span class=\"quote-author\">Carol Lam<\/span><span class=\"quote-position\">Communications Director<\/span><div class=\"quote-event\">Ivorie Paperie<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/AlixGould001.jpg\"class=\"link-image link-image_wide\" rel=\"gallery\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"full-size-image alignnone wp-image-40222 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA4OTkgNjAwIiB3aWR0aD0iODk5IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjYwMCIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMTglMkYwMyUyRkFsaXhHb3VsZDAwMS5qcGciIGRhdGEtdz0iODk5IiBkYXRhLWg9IjYwMCIgZGF0YS1iaXA9IiI+PC9zdmc+\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"wedding invites\" width=\"899\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><span class=\"caption\">Photo Courtesy of <a class=\"listing-mentionable listing-mentionable-disabled listing-mentionable-disabled\" href=\"#\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-listing=\"4832\">Alix Gould Photography<\/a><\/span><\/p> <h2>3.

If you're at a loss, the best place to start is your venue which will likely already be decorated in a particular style and colour. Embrace this and choose complimentary hues to accent what you loved about the location to begin with.<\/p> <p>Still at a loss? Try choosing a palette that compliments the season you're marrying in. In the end, this shouldn't be a stress point but a way to express what you and your fiance love. I often turn to wedding blogs much like EventSource to peruse the dreamy visuals of past weddings and editorials to see what pairs nicely together.

Incorporate a Common Element<\/h2> <div class=\"blockquote_author\"><div class=\"blockquote left\"><div class=\"inner-quote\"><p>When sitting down with couples, I always touch on this particular element, often referring to it as branding your wedding. I think there's something super visually appealing for guests when there is a cohesiveness to all your wedding stationery, from the invites they receive in their mailbox, to the programs they read at the ceremony, and all the pieces that are incorporated in the reception. The repetitive use of a a custom monogram or beautiful water colour blooms or even geometric patterns will represent the union between you and your soon-to-be spouse and remind your guests of the wonderful time they had when they receive your thank-you cards in the mail!<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"details detail-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxODggMTg4IiB3aWR0aD0iMTg4IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE4OCIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMTclMkYxMiUyRjIwMTctMTItMTVfMTIxMi5wbmciIGRhdGEtdz0iMTg4IiBkYXRhLWg9IjE4OCIgZGF0YS1iaXA9IiI+PC9zdmc+\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"Photo of Olga Loeffen\"\/><div class=\"author-wrap\"><span class=\"quote-author\">Olga Loeffen<\/span><span class=\"quote-position\">Owner &amp; Principle Designer<\/span><div class=\"quote-event\">Defining Moments Stationery<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <h2>5. Be Reflective of Your Personalities<\/h2> <div class=\"blockquote_author\"><div class=\"blockquote right\"><div class=\"inner-quote\"><p>Your invitation is the first thing your guest will see from your wedding story. Make a statement and make it about yourselves. Quotes and symbols that mean a lot to you can be showcased in an elegant way, so bring that to your designer because it really makes for a whole new experience. You\u2019re getting custom art so take the opportunity to make it unique. One of my favourite invitations \u2013 and one that turns heads a lot in our studio is where a bride used her late mother's favourite flower throughout \u2013 and that love just showed. So think about who you are as a person and a couple and add those little elements in.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"details detail-right\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyNjAgMjYwIiB3aWR0aD0iMjYwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjI2MCIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMTglMkYwMyUyRlB1amEucG5nIiBkYXRhLXc9IjI2MCIgZGF0YS1oPSIyNjAiIGRhdGEtYmlwPSIiPjwvc3ZnPg==\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"Photo of Puja Malhotra\"\/><div class=\"author-wrap\"><span class=\"quote-author\">Puja Malhotra<\/span><span class=\"quote-position\">Designer<\/span><div class=\"quote-event\">Vibrance Designs<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <h2>6.

Purchase More Than You Need<\/h2> <div class=\"blockquote_author\"><div class=\"blockquote right\"><div class=\"inner-quote\"><p>This is a very important consideration when working with your stationer.

Use the 60% rule as a guideline to approximate how many invitations you need, that is, take 60% of the total number of guests you expect to have and that gives you the number of invitations you should order. Of course, you will actually need to create a guest list and count how many couples, families or singles you will be inviting (excel comes in handy for that). Once you have that number, I would recommend ordering at least 10 extra suites. These will be lifesavers when your future mother-in-law totally forgets to invite someone or when your fiance decides he does want to invite his boss after all. Make sure to save at least one suite as a keepsake, and for wedding photos on the big day!<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"details detail-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAzNTQgMzU0IiB3aWR0aD0iMzU0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjM1NCIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMTglMkYwMyUyRkNhcm9sLUxhbS5wbmciIGRhdGEtdz0iMzU0IiBkYXRhLWg9IjM1NCIgZGF0YS1iaXA9IiI+PC9zdmc+\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"Photo of Carol Lam\"\/><div class=\"author-wrap\"><span class=\"quote-author\">Carol Lam<\/span><span class=\"quote-position\">Communications Director<\/span><div class=\"quote-event\">Ivorie Paperie<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> <div class=\"blockquote_author\"><div class=\"blockquote right\"><div class=\"inner-quote\"><p>Always purchase 10 extra invitations.
