Figure Out Your Timeline First Because That’s Where Everyone Screws Up Okay so the biggest mistake I see couples make is ordering their wedding cards way too late and then they’re messaging me at 11pm panicking because their wedding is in six weeks and nothing’s even at the printer yet. You need to start thinking […]
Okay so wedding card greetings are actually way more complicated than people think First thing you need to know is that the greeting on your wedding cards—like the actual wording, not just the design—sets the entire tone for your wedding before anyone even opens the invitation suite. I learned this the hard way in spring […]
Start with What “Informal” Actually Means Okay so informal wedding invitations are kinda my favorite thing to work on because there’s so much more room to play around. When people say informal, they usually mean one of three things: the wedding itself is casual (think backyard BBQ or beach ceremony), the couple’s personality is super […]
The Whole Plus One Thing Is Trickier Than You Think So you’re at that stage where you’re trying to figure out who gets a plus one and how to actually indicate that on the invitation without creating a total nightmare. I get it. Last spring I had a bride who literally changed her plus one […]

Reception invitations are specifically for when you’re having an […]
Okay So Plain Invitation Cards Aren’t Actually That Plain Look, plain invitation cards get such a bad rap and honestly it drives me nuts because they’re some of the most elegant choices you can make. When I say plain, I don’t mean boring—I mean clean, minimalist, sophisticated. Think crisp white cardstock with simple black typography. […]
