When choosing wedding stationary also known as a wedding stationary suite. There are a few things that you should consider....does it go with my theme, does it match my color scheme, and what pieces are available in that suite.

Invitations come after all the major decisions have been made...the wedding stationary should be the glue that brings all the components together. I suggest that when shopping for your wedding stationary you should do a few things:
* Never buy blindly....online can be convenient but it can also be misleading. For instance there are hundreds shades of red..so the description might  say" Apple Red "but when it arrives it looks more like "Crimson"....both red but different. The only way I would suggest  buying online is if you could order a sample before you commit.
*Bring a swatch of your colors to the consultation....the key is to know what you want before getting there....picking out stationary can be just as stressful as picking out your dress.
* Your stationary should MATCH....not just your theme and color scheme but each component should match the other. For example your Save The Dates should match everything including your thank you cards....
* Mix and Match.... The only time I would Mix and Match is if the suite had different designs within the set. Same colors just different design!

 

Wedding save the dates and invitations are like the window to your wedding... these are the first items that your guest will see before your wedding day .. your stationary gives your guest and idea of what to expect .. so make it beautiful , make it coordinated and make it worth their while!
