Okay So Acrylic Invitations Are Having A Moment Look, acrylic invitations are basically like the iPhone of the wedding stationery world right now – everyone wants them, they look sleek as hell, but nobody really understands what they’re getting into until they’re knee-deep in the process. I had this bride back in spring 2023 who […]
Okay So Couples Shower Invitations Are Actually Way Different Than You Think The biggest mistake I see with couples shower invitations is people just slapping “Jack & Jill” on a traditional bridal shower invite and calling it a day. Nah. The whole vibe needs to shift because you’re inviting everyone—guys, girls, non-binary friends, everyone—and the […]
Okay So Golden Anniversary Invitations Look, 50th anniversary invitations are honestly one of my favorite projects but they’re also the ones where families get the MOST stressed about getting everything perfect. I had this couple back in spring 2023 whose kids wanted to throw them this massive party and we spent like three weeks just […]
What Actually Goes in a Complete Wedding Invitation Suite Okay so the main invitation is obviously the star but you’re gonna need more pieces than that. A complete suite typically includes the invitation itself, RSVP card with its own envelope, a details card (sometimes called an enclosure card), and the outer envelope. Some couples add […]
The Outer Envelope First Because That’s What Everyone Sees So the outer envelope is basically your first impression and you don’t want to mess this up.

Okay so seating charts are honestly one of those things that sounds simple until you’re actually doing it I’m gonna be straight with you – the seating plan is where like 60% of wedding drama happens and nobody warns you about this until you’re knee-deep in it. Last spring I had a bride literally crying […]
Okay so seating charts are literally the thing that keeps couples up at night The number of times I’ve gotten a panicked text at 11pm about “Can we seat Aunt Margaret with Uncle Tom even though they haven’t spoken since 2015?” is honestly ridiculous. Wedding reception seating is one of those tasks that seems simple […]
The Basic Layout Elements You Actually Need Okay so the invitation card layout isn’t as complicated as everyone makes it seem but there ARE specific things that need to be on there and a specific order that just… works better. I learned this the hard way in summer 2021 when a bride called me crying […]
Okay so seating plans are basically the thing that keeps me up at night The ceremony seating plan is honestly one of those things couples either completely overthink or don’t think about at all until like two days before the wedding when suddenly everyone’s panicking. I had this bride in spring 2023 who called me […]
Okay So Card Layout Basics First The front panel is where most couples totally overthink things and honestly I get it because this is the first thing people see when they pull your invitation out of the envelope. You’ve got maybe 5×7 inches (that’s the most common size btw) to work with and you need […]
