Okay so you wanna design invitation cards Start with your paper weight because honestly this is where most people mess up right from the beginning. You need at least 80lb cardstock for anything that’s going standalone, but I usually tell clients 100lb or 110lb feels more substantial in your hands. Spring 2023 I had this […]
Okay so wedding card design is where people lose their minds The first thing you gotta know is that your save-the-dates and invitations aren’t the same thing and I still have clients in 2024 who think they can just send one card and call it done. Nah. Save-the-dates go out 6-8 months before (destination weddings […]
Wedding Contract Samples You Actually Need Okay so wedding contracts are honestly one of those things people completely mess up or skip entirely and then wonder why everything went sideways.

Marriage Invitation Card Samples That Actually Work Okay so you need marriage invitation wording and honestly this is where like 80% of couples freeze up completely.

okay so wedding programs are one of those things that seem simple until you’re actually designing one The basic wedding program tells your guests what’s happening during the ceremony. That’s it. But somehow people overthink it constantly and I had this bride in summer 2021 who wanted to include her dog’s biography in the program […]
Wedding Bulletins Are Kinda Like Your Program Guide But Better Okay so wedding bulletins are basically the paper handouts guests get when they arrive at your ceremony and honestly they’re more important than people think.

Okay So Bridesmaid Speeches Are Actually Not That Scary Listen, I’ve sat through probably hundreds of bridesmaid speeches at this point in my career and honestly most people stress WAY too much about them.
