You may think your wedding invitations might be small part of a big day & not mean that much BUT I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU. They can be a big influence on your day, after all, how are you planning to ask all your nearest & dearest to celebrate one of the biggest days of your life!!?
I love the fact you are able to make a statement before the actual wedding. 
Your wedding invitation are your guests first impressions of your to-be-wedding so make them count. Remember to think carefully about how you are going to grab everyone's attention, then tie the invites style in with your wedding day stationery.

Why it's worth investing
in quality wedding stationery

The invitation or save the date is the first physical thing your guests see, touch & learn about your wedding day. It gives your couples an indication of the style you are going for, the colour tones you have chosen & the overall theme.  Also remember this is something people may keep on their fridges for ages so make it fridge worthy! It starts that initial spark of excitement that the wedding is approaching.

Wedding invitations are something you can have forever as a keep sake. Being able look back at your wedding photos, videography & even your invitation will bring back all those mems!

You can have all your stationery match for your day, from the invitations to place cards or even your welcome sign which is extremely aesthetically pleasing if you ask me! (OCD much?!)
