Schedule Update I've just been looking at some fig Schedule Update I've just been looking at some figures and I was quite shocked to find that in the last 3 months I have had more enquiries and bookings than the same time period in both 2019 and 2020 PUT TOGETHER. These have been for 2021, 2022 and even some 2023 weddings. . Why am I telling you this? Well, because of this flurry of activity, production slots for the rest of this year and into next are now becoming few and far between. It's getting quite obvious that 2022 and 2023 are going to be HUGE for weddings - I mean, we've got a lot of catching up to do, right!? . OK, so what? Basically, what I'm saying is, if you think you'd like me to make invitations or stationery for you get in touch sooner rather than later and get your production slot booked. . How do you get booked in? A £50 deposit secures a slot in my schedule to make either invitations or on-the-day stationery for you. The balance will be payable only when you approve your proofs and confirm the final quantities to be printed. So you don't need to have all the finite details sorted to get booked in. . What happens then? Once you're in my schedule I will send you everything you need to know to help you work your invitations and make sure you get all right info in them. I'll also send you friendly reminders when I need those details to make up your proofs. . Not sure where to start? Go to the link in my bio and download my free Wedding Stationery Guide & Checklist. Then, if you want to have a chat or visit my studio hop over to my website and book a call or meeting with me. It's all online, you can view my calendar and pick a day/time to suit you. . Go on, what are you waiting for? Get another tick on that wedding planning list today - I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

It's all about the size of your envelopes 📮When It's all about the size of your envelopes 📮When it comes to posting your invites, getting the right stamps for the size and weight of the envelope is critical. If you don't then you run the risk of your guests having to pay a surcharge and collect their invite from their local sorting office #awkward ! . Check the size and weight before you post. If your invitations are: ✉️ over 5mm thick (quite possible if it has things like ribbon bows or wax seals attached) ⚖️or weighs more than 100g then you'll need large letter stamps. . Loads more tips about posting your invites on my blog today, including how to get proof of postage. Head to the link in bio to read it. . Don't forget to save this post and send it on to someone else that needs to read it. . #weddingwednesday #weddinginvites #weddinginvitetipsandtricks #weddingadvice #weddingplanning #weddingplanningtips #weddingbudgettips #weddinginvitetips #weddinginvitedesigner #weddingstationerydesigner #weddingexpert #weddingprofessional #weddingdesigner #weddinginvitations
Why would you give each guest a personalised weddi Why would you give each guest a personalised wedding menu? - if you've asked your guests to pre-order from a choice of dishes, it's a great way to give them a reminder - if you have guests with different dietary requirements its a lovely way to show each what they are eating - if you want to add a little extra to your place settings and are looking something different to the classic tent style place card Lots of reasons, and when they look this good, why not? . These are elegant printed tag style menus that I made recently for Emily & Ben. Based on my modern monogram collection (head to my website to see more). . #gettingmarried #bridetobe #weddingtables #elegantwedding #personalisedmenus #weddingmenus #weddingideas #weddingtabledecor #weddingstationery #handadeweddingstataionery #bespokeweddingstationery #weddingmenus #weddingideas #weddingtabledecor #weddingstationery #handadeweddingstataionery #bespokeweddingstationery #elegantweddingstationery
Save the date: Do they go to evening guests? Gener Save the date: Do they go to evening guests? Generally, no, you don’t need to send a save the date to your evening guests. The chances are that your guest list for the after party will be a lot more undecided up until much nearer the wedding. . That said, I have made ‘save the evening’ cards for couples before, so it can be done. I would simply advise, if you decide to do this, that you make it very obvious it is a pre-invite to the evening reception only. You don’t want any guests confused as to which part of the celebration they are invited to. . Save this post for future ref, or send it to someone you know would find it useful. . #savethedate #savethevening #weddingsavethedate #savethedatecards #weddingplanningtips #weddingstationerytips #weddingstationeryadvice #weddingstationerydesigner #weddingstationeryexpert #weddingexert #weddingprofessional #handmadeweddingstationery #bespokeweddingstationery #ecofriendlyweddingstationery #gettingmarried #iamengaged #bridetobe2022 #bridetobe2023
