Wedding Invitations

Now that you are engaged, it's time to start organizing your destination wedding in France. It's a dream come true for many, and to be honest, what's not to love about it? When done correctly, organizing a destination celebration allows you and your guests to experience a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

Choosing your wedding invitations is one of the most important things you need to do as soon as possible. Recall that this is the first information your guests will receive about your special day, and it is not simply a plain piece of paper. You want to create the mood and let everyone know what kind of event to expect.

We have prepared this guide to help you make the right choices for wedding stationery and provide advice on opting for the perfect stationery for your special day.

Key Considerations When Choosing Your Wedding Stationery

• Design and Style: By now, you know that design and style are essential in wedding organizations, including invitations. They should reflect the overall theme and aesthetics of your epic day. Also, the special day invitations should always match the design and decor of your venue.
• Paper Quality: To get that wow French wedding card, don't just print your wedding invitation on any old paper. Why? Selecting a good-quality paper will always leave a better impression, and that is exactly what you are aiming for, isn’t it? Additionally, you should dig up some information on the paper's weight, quality, and texture. These will significantly affect how the invitation feels on touch and its appearance.
• Printing Techniques: If you've done some snooping, you know multiple printing methods can impact the invitation's look and feel. So here is what you should do. Examine several examples of foil stamping and engraving to understand what to expect. Then, compare the technique and quality with digital wedding invitations to make your final decision.
• Budget: It's all about the money…or not. It depends on what you choose. When creating your budget, think about paper quality and printing methods. Did you choose a complex design? Well, that's going to cost you money. Consult your supplier about the best options that fit within your budget. 
• Timeline: People often make mistakes when rushed that they later regret. Therefore, the answer is obvious. The earlier you start planning, the more comfortable you'll be. Does 6-8 months before your epic day seem too much? Maybe, but it is recommended. Remember, you need to do research, create a draft sample, choose the final French wedding card, and allow time to get them printed and sent out.
• Personalization: Do you want your invitations to scream, "This is us!" Then add those wedding card designs that say it all. Personalizing your invites is all about unleashing your imagination and incorporating custom elements. Anything from monograms to digital wedding invitations fits nicely. You can even throw in a hand-drawn map to further spark your creativity.
• Environmental Impact: Eco-conscious couples, you are not forgotten – vendors will offer exactly what you need. Choose wedding card designs made of recycled paper, or go for paperless digital invitations. Nowadays, suppliers follow trends to ensure you get what you want.
• Extras: Wedding invitations are often accompanied by extra stationery. Don't know what this includes? Anything from thank you and RSVP cards to reception menus and programs. 

How to Choose the Right Wedding Invitation Artist

• Explore Portfolios: Always start your search by checking out the artist's previous work. Browse through their portfolio and see examples of what they have done. This will help you determine whether their style aligns with your expectations.
• Read Reviews: Ask friends and family for references for wedding invitation curators. But also always read customer reviews and feedback to see if they are reliable and offer good quality service.
• Ask Questions: Schedule a consultation meeting with your selected list of suppliers. This is an excellent opportunity to meet and discuss the conditions. Be upfront and clear with the vendors about your design process, timelines, and customization options. Ensure that they clearly understand your requirements and style to avoid any misunderstandings.
• Request Samples: What is the best way to see what your wedding invitations will look like? Well, request samples so you can visually assess the looks of your French wedding card. This will help you decide on the type of printing and the paper you want to use before placing the order.
