Amy, I completely agree with you! Especially since now many brides do buy custom wedding stationery from independent designers. I made my invitations and I still have them-which lead me to start my stationery business! I have had many past clients tell me they will cherish my invitations for a long time. I think it is something we can promote and suggest to our clients! Great thought!

Not an ad, but an honest question: do all brides really think that invitations are something that will be thrown in the trash? One year out of being a bride myself (I made my own invitations) and from a recent wedding of a friend (who wants to frame the invitations I made for her, whose guests wanted to keep hers), it makes me think that perhaps that idea is something the industry has influenced, and not necessarily what brides/guests may want? Isn't it our responsibility to educate them that certain parts of their wedding may not be as disposable as they think? Why can't invitations be thought of just as precious as the wedding photos themselves? Would their guests toss their printed wedding photos in the trash? No! In my experience, many brides can be convinced to think this way, and therefore be more sensitive when making decisions on how to spend their money.

I think it would be a great thread for wedding vendors if some of the people here understood that it is, in fact, for vendors to share ideas, and not for them to advertiser themselves. The idea is to help each other by sharing information. Rest assured, hijacking this thread to advertise your business is not going to make me want to help.

I have a new product called GlassEffx, wedding Invitations~Keepsake, echo friendly. I work with a manufacture in Chatsworth Ca, we use recycled glass where brides can have it make it a any color any theme their hearts desire. If the groom loves basketball we can etch, or blown in. We can even, make it a basketball, it can be a picture frame etc, brides and grooms want unique and their own.

It's funny when brides say they wished they would of known me 6 months ago, even if it was just for support. I tell them they now have the opportunity to tell those they know who are getting married how having a planner really does help and that they know someone to call. What I like to do is leave the door open. I do not try to convince them that they need my services but offer them my experiences with problems they feel might happen. By the time I give them information they are ready to hire me, maybe not for full service but definitely for Day Of services. Sometimes, since I offer other services as well, they want sommething else too.

Invitations should set a tone of excitement for your entire affair! The outside of the envelope, the stamps, the layout of the invitation, and the font—all the details count. When i am creating your invitations, imagine what it will be like for your guests to be receiving them. A great invitation grabs the attention of your guests and guarantees the impression that yours is a wedding not to be missed.

Brides say "the closer I get to the wedding the less time I have." Someone should inform them that they, the bride needs to choose their brides maids on who can provide them with help and support and be a real friend. On the issue of the Invitations (even budget ones) are just "way overpriced for a piece of paper that will be thrown in the garbage!" Not all the brides may understand what the invitation means, but the mothers do. The mother's are still paying to have the envelope addressed in calligraphy as the first impression of the special event. The DIY brides often will have a mother who brings me an invitation and says please make this look good "I can't send this out." As vendors we need to remember that the family is inviting the rest of the family and friends and they still want it to look good, and look great is better.

It's funny DIY is big in some areas but in my category (DJ), brides want to be taken care of, yet still want to be part of the process.
