What to Ask Your Wedding Stationer

A beautiful invitation is the first step toward a beautiful wedding so here's how to make sure yours is exactly right.

1. May I see a full-size invitation printed in this font before I make my decision?

Here at Cherish Paperie, we provide mock-up's to ensure that everything is perfect before we print your invitation.

2. May I see an example of your work?

We have many samples to show you.  They can be found on our website and blog.

3. Have any other brides in this area used this same invitation or color combination?

We can check the files and provide the date and an example of the invitation.

4. What will this cost to mail?

We will will weigh a complete sample and total the cost.

5. May I see a proof before it goes to press?

It is vital to see a proof before the final printing is done. We are happy to share one with you.

6. What is the turnaround time?

We should be able to accommodate any schedule you have in mind.  But, the more time you allow, the more time we have to work with you.

7. Who will handle assembly―that is, take care of ribbons, bows, or other decorations?

If that’s what you want, we take care of it ourselves, but this may involve an extra fee.

8. Who will handle stuffing the invitations?

We do offer to stuff them for you, but this may involve an extra fee. If you choose to have the invitations assembled by us, inspect both a prototype and several finished invitations chosen randomly from the completed pile before they are mailed. As a final precaution, have an invitation sent to your parents. 60s-Chic-Beach-Wedding-00004 -Invitation- Cherish Paperie -Original Article: "What to Ask Your Wedding Stationer" http://www.realsimple.com/weddings/ask-wedding-stationer-00000000000647/index.html

]]> Top Bridal Trends
Some of today's top bridal trends include:
  • Guest Book Alternatives: Books are beautiful, but you could also pick a poster for partygoers to sign. Download clip art, print it on matte paper and put in a frame for your attendees to autograph.
  • Bold Balloons: A wall of large balloons in one color but a variety of shapes makes an easy, impactful photo-booth or dance-floor backdrop. (It’s the monochromatic hue that makes them look so chic!)
  • Playing with Paper: It's not just for formal invitations – paper is also great for making fun, festive garlands to serve as ceremony markers or photo backdrops.  Here are some examples: http://www.pinterest.com/cherishpaperie/wedding-ideas/
  • 3-D Details: Delight guests with surprising shapes. These origami-inspired, DIY save-the-dates, ceremony programs, and geometric table numbers can be made in five steps or less.  It id also a trend to add lace to invitations.  Here are some examples of lace invitations: http://www.pinterest.com/cherishpaperie/lace-invitations-paper-goods/
  • Out-of-the-Box Escort Cards: Seating instructions can double as creative keepsakes, like these clamshells calligraphed with guests' names.  Here are some examples of escort cards and other reception stationary: http://www.pinterest.com/cherishpaperie/programs-placecards-menus-stuff/
  • Charming Calligraphy: Calligraphy isn't just for the address label, it can dress up all of your paper goods – whether it's all hand done or you have just your names calligraphed, scanned and printed throughout your paper goods.  Here are some examples of calligraphy: http://www.pinterest.com/cherishpaperie/typeography-and-callligraphy/
  • Monogram Motifs: Couples love showing off their new shared initials, whether they're embroidered on napkins at the reception or embossed on the programs. The same design can be used on multiple items to give the event a cohesive look, and you can keep using the motif for the rest of your life.  Here are some ideas of monograms: http://www.pinterest.com/cherishpaperie/crests-logos-and-monograms/
  • Totally Technicolor:Neutrals are nice but bright color makes a huge statement wherever it’s used, from flowers to paper goods to bridesmaids’ dresses.
  • Unexpected Color: One way to grab guests' attention: use color strategically, in places where no one expects it – like, say, a fuchsia bridal gown that looks like a work of art.  Here are some examples of color: http://www.pinterest.com/cherishpaperie/ombre-water-color/ & http://www.pinterest.com/cherishpaperie/watercolors/
  • Creative Crests: A custom crest lends a royal touch to your big day; have it letterpressed on paper, stamped on fabric or even piped onto your cake.

Common Invitation Mistakes

Common Invitation Mistakes 1)  Abbreviations- To be socially correct, all words should be spelled out on invitations, accessory cards and envelopes . EX: “Drive” instead of “Dr.”, “Lane” instead of “Ln.”, “California” instead of “CA”. Exceptions Honorifics may be abbreviated (Mr., Mrs., Ms., Dr., military rank, etc.). “St.” or “Sts.” may be used for “Saint” or [...]

]]> Common Invitation Mistakes
Common Invitation Mistakes 1)  Abbreviations- To be socially correct, all words should be spelled out on invitations, accessory cards and envelopes . EX: “Drive” instead of “Dr.”, “Lane” instead of “Ln.”, “California” instead of “CA”.
  • Exceptions
    • Honorifics may be abbreviated (Mr., Mrs., Ms., Dr., military rank, etc.).
    • “St.” or “Sts.” may be used for “Saint” or “Saints”.
    • Numerical time should use the abbreviations “a.m.” and “p.m.”.
    • “Junior” or “Senior”, when used in a name, are correctly abbreviated “Jr.” or “Sr.”. They should always be separated from the last name by a comma.
2)  Time- Invitations require time to be spelled out, whereas numerals may be used on accessory cards.

  • Invitations:

    • Time should be spelled out.
    • Time should never be capitalized.
    • Time, on the hour, should be followed by “o’clock” (Note: lowercase and apostrophe).
    • Do not use “o’clock” if the time is not on the hour.
    • Time, not on the hour, should be hyphenated. EX: “two-thirty” instead of “two thirty” or “two forty-five” instead of “two forty five”.
    • Time should always be followed by “in the morning”, “noon”, “in the afternoon”, “in the evening”, or “midnight”.

  • Accessory Cards:

    • Time may be spelled out, following the invitation rules above, or numerals may be used.
    • When numerals are used, they should be followed by “a.m.” or “p.m.” (Note: lowercase and periods)
    • “Immediately” may be used as a substitute for time. The use of “immediately” and a time is redundant. EX: “Reception immediately following ceremony” is correct, whereas “Reception immediately following ceremony at six o’clock in the evening” is incorrect.
3) Dates- On the accessory cards, date and time formats should be consistent. If time is not provided, you may spell out the date, abbreviate it, or use a numerical date.

  • Invitations:

    • Date should be spelled out.
    • Date should be preceded by the day of the week, spelled out.
    • Day of the week and date should be separated by a comma.
    • Year is printed on a separate line and may be omitted, if desired.
    • Month and year should not be separated by a comma.
    • EX: “on Saturday, the fifth of June
      Two thousand and four”

  • Accessory Cards:

    • If time is used on the accessory card, be consistent with the date. In other words, when spelling out the time, spell out the date. If you use numerical time, use a numerical date.
    • If time is not used, any of the following formats are acceptable:
      • on Saturday, the fifth of June
      • on Saturday, June 5, 2004
      • on Saturday, June 5th
      • June 5, 2004
4)  Symbols-  We often see the use of symbols to represent words. This is increasingly popular, yet remains a social faux pas. EX: “Mr. & Mrs.” instead of “Mr. and Mrs.” 5)  Capitalization- Names of people and places are always capitalized.  EX:“corner” as in “corner of Fifth and Main Streets” is not capitalized.  When spelling out the year, capitalize the “t” in Two: Two thousand and eight.  Sentences (or each new thought on an invitation) always begin with a capital letter. 6) Zip Codes- They do not belong on invitations or most accessory cards. They are appropriate on outer envelopes, r.s.v.p. envelopes and at home cards. 7) Spelling- Ask someone else to proofread your wording, paying close attention to proper nouns. Many common words are often misspelled, or misused. EX: "night" is better than "nite". Should it be "to" or "too"? 8) Grammar- Pronouns should be consistent throughout your invitations. If using first person pronouns (I, we, us, our and me), use them everywhere. If using third person pronouns (them, they, their), use them everywhere.  Do not use punctuation at the end of a line, such as commas and periods, in your invitation wording. 9) And vs. To- When parents for both bride and groom are issuing the invitation, the word between the bride and groom’s names should be “and”, not “to”.
  • EX: Mr. and Mrs. John Jones and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Smith request the honour of your presence at the marriage of their children Mary Anne and Richard Allen
10) Response Date-  Respond date should be two to four weeks before the wedding date.  Respond date should ALWAYS be before the wedding date. You would be surprised how many people get these two dates switched. 11) Consistency- Use the same ink color on your invitations and accessory cards.  Use the same typestyle on your invitations and accessory cards.  Use accessory cards that match your invitations. 12) Additional Tips-  Make sure you have filled out all necessary information for every item.  Make sure you have ordered enough. It is much cheaper to order a few extra initially than it is to order a few extra later.  If your wedding date is more than six months away, it is considerate to send Save The Date cards six to twelve months before the wedding and invitations four to six weeks before the wedding. 0333_Ebell_LA BLOG POST 2 -Invitation: Cherish Paperie -Photographer: Krista Mason Photography -Original Article:  "Help- Most Common Mistakes on Wordings/ Verses" http://www.theamericanwedding.com/wedding-invitations-guide/commonmistakes/

Congratulations, You're Engaged!  Now it’s time to start thinking about save the dates, invitations, programs and all the other wedding stationery.  All of which you can find on cherishpaperie.com
How far in advance should a bride start researching?
It is never too early to start doing research on all elements of your wedding.  A couple should start with the save the dates, as soon as they have picked a date.  It is better to have plenty of time, than to have to rush an order at the last minute.
Is there a best time of day or week to communicate?
If the couple can take time out during the week, that’s best. We answer emails all day, and are more than happy to answer any questions.  The more details you have in an email, the better outcome you will receive in the design that you have in mind.  Showing us examples will also help us design what you have in mind.
Which months are your busiest?
We are busy all year around.  Our busiest season starts in January and goes through the summer, for summer weddings.
Go through the process from the first appointment to the delivery of the invitations.
Twelve to nine months out, the save the date usually chosen.  It is not absolutely necessary to match the save the date to the wedding invitation, but it is nice to echo similar design styles.  Eight months out, the couple should be looking at invitation styles and gathering ideas. Seven months out, we should receive an order with detailed information, so we can work on designing the invitation.  Over the next few months, we will send proofs, that the couple can make changes to.  Five to six months out, the final order for the invitations should be placed.  After it is placed, it is time to start thinking about programs for the ceremony, and reception stationery (i.e. menu, place cards and buffet cards).  These are usually ordered a few months before the day of the wedding.  Our clients also like to order thank you cards that tie into the design of their invitations or wedding.
What information should the couple give us?
All information for her guests: correct spellings, facts regarding the what, when, where and how. I encourage the couple to take a look on Our website, Pinterest, Facebook, and other wedding websites.  It is helpful for the couple to share their ideas, so we can get an idea of their style and what they want.
What types of questions will you ask?
We’ll ask about who’s hosting, the location and the feel of the wedding, because the invitation should portray that feeling. We’ll also ask about menu choices, reply cards, the religious aspects of the ceremony — the denomination of bride and groom and how that determines wording. It can get personal!
What types of questions should the couple ask when they comes?
If it’s important to her, etiquette — making sure they’re following rules. Also, making sure both sets of parents are on the same page and they know who’s hosting, because the invitation calls attention to that. What makes us so valuable is being able to balance what brides are seeing in the market with the mothers who might be more traditional. That’s where the art and the skill come through.

Not only was it time consuming, but many enlisted the help of family and friends who didn't quite have the same vision of perfection like our brides. With this information we thought we'd compile a list of what we thought were great for what to DIY for weddings and what we should leave to the professionals!

What To DIY For Weddings

What To DIY For Weddings - And What Not To

What to DIY - Wedding Planning/Coordination What NOT to DIY - Day of Wedding Coordination
Why? Planning your big day can be a huge task but if you don't have the budget for a wedding planner I highly suggest investing in a day-of planner. This will not only save you and your family unnecessary stress, it'll also cost you a fraction of what a full wedding planner costs. Plus what bride doesn't want full control of all of the details up until the last minute. Then you can give complete control to your day-of planner so you can relish in the fabulousness that is your day!
What to DIY - Cake Topper What NOT to DIY - Cake
Why? While you might be the best baker in your family or circle of friends, baking your own cake is a huge undertaking. Stick to the simpler construction of some cute DIY cake toppers! You can keep the personalized touch and tie the cake in to the theme of your wedding. Better yet, opt for cupcakes if you're looking to cut corners on the budget!
What to DIY - Cupcake Stand(s) What NOT to DIY - Cupcakes
Why? Just like the cake, please know that having you or a family member/friend baking the day before or days before the big day will not save anyone time or money and will lead to more frustration! Show your creative flair by creating a one of a kind cupcake stand to wow the guests and make your cupcakes shine.
What to DIY - Seating Charts and Guest Books What NOT to DIY - Invitations and Wedding Stationery
Why? Printing, assembling, and addressing invitations and creating your own wedding stationery can sometimes end up costing you more than you expected. Specialty cardstock can be pricey as can envelopes and if you don't have the right printer or cutting tools you can be left with a pile of smudged, misshapen paper. By investing in a stationery designer and printer and having everything assembled you can reduce the stress and enjoy gorgeous invitations for everyone to cherish. Still want to DIY some stationery? Put your time and effort into an awesome seating chart! There are so many amazing ideas out there and you're sure to have more time creating a great work of art if you don't have to take care of all of the stationery. And there are so many wonderful alternatives for guest books out there. Most are easily re-created by a DIY bride to fit their wedding.
What to DIY - Dance Lessons What NOT to DIY - DJ & Emcee
While I cherished my dance lessons with my husband, there are so many other ways to learn out there that'll save you a bit of money. YouTube video tutorials, friends, and family can help you out with that first dance. But one thing I couldn't skimp on or turn to an iPod or laptop for would be a DJ. Not only can the emcee make or break your wedding reception, a live person is really needed to feel the crowd and get your guests moving!
