Wedding invitations and stationery has become an important part of the
wedding. After all, the wedding invitation introduces your guests to your
special day so you want to make it beautiful and memorable. We all know
weddings are expensive. Depending on what kind of wedding you're having and
what's important to you, plenty of factors come into play. Brides try to DIY as
much as they can to save costs despite their sanity. But even DIY
adds up and before you know it, you've spent WAY more than you wanted in
supplies and stressed yourself and your friends assembling DIY projects
that didn't even turn out the way you wanted. And if it did, you used a
lot of time that you will never get back. Like ever....
Wedding invitations seem to fall on the DIY list and people think it's
easy to do. Until they realize the complexity and challenges paper,
printing, design and assembling involves.
Why should you hire a professional wedding stationer? Here are 6
reasons:

1. We love paper and paper loves us.
Yes friends, we wouldn't be in this business if we didn't love paper.
Because we love it so much we pretty much know more about it than the average
person. Meaning once a couple conveys to us their dream wedding
invitations, we will know what kind of paper might be perfect for your
stationery. We can show you samples of different kinds and some that
you can't even find at a local craft store. We can conjure up the
perfect custom invite to match your colours and theme. Layers, texture, matte,
metallic, laser cut, embossed.... the paper list goes on. Who better to guide
and help you than paper nerds like us.
2. Attention to detail is our
speciality.
Design is important to us. It's what makes your invitation unique and we
strive to make it great for you. We go above and beyond by ensuring we pay
attention to detail. We love the little details. It speaks to us. From the
perfect font, layout to graphics... to marry them all with creativity and your
vision makes us so excited! We have the ability to design a beautiful, custom
stationery suite so everything from invitation to day-of wedding stationery is
cohesive and lovely. It will add that extra special touch to your day.

3. Printing blues will not haunt you.
Have you ever printed something and the colour is different from the
colour on your monitor? It's a bummer. We understand and empathize. We also
know what to do. There's a lot of technical behind the scenes setups with
printing your files but when you hire a pro, you won't have to worry about it
because we take care of all that for you and the running around too! Not to
mention possible paper cuts. Also, your home printer will thank you for not
jamming it again.

4. It is worth the investment.
Being professional stationers we invest in our business and so
we are equipped with expensive, licensed design software meant to
create custom design. No, we don't design this on Microsoft Word nor do
we use a clip art from the internet in a low quality jpg resolution to
copy and paste. You and your invitations deserve better! We also invest on
building relationships with different vendors and suppliers allowing us to
find great resources for your paper goods.

5. We love what we do.
You know what they say about people who love what they do? They're happy
to do it for you. The little things that would eventually annoy you are
thing we love and can put up with! It might have been fun to mock your invite
at home and do a few samples while loving your design like crazy. But
try assembling it for 100+ times not accounting some mistakes that you
have to redo and buy more materials as you juggle wedding planning at the same
time too. Yikes. We have just one focus and we will make it amazing. Because
again, we love what we do!
6. We want to take the stress away
from you.
Not only do you get beautiful invitations but you're also hiring us so
we can relieve some stress off you especially if you are a busy professional. That's
worth something. That's worth a lot to some people! Let us deal and handle the
stresses to create your invitations so you can take that out of your endless to
do list and focus on other things.
