Wedding Invitation Trends from the Stationers Guild
Posted in wedding invitations by saintclair ~ Leave a Comment
As a stationer, I have the priviledge of meeting many bridal couples seeking to create a truly unique wedding invitation to celebrate their special wedding day. While some brides-to-be have very clear ideas on the type of wedding invitation they are seeking, the vast majority are often overwhelmed by the number of paper choices and design possibilities.
For many obvious reasons, Therese Saint Clair does not sell wedding invitations or any personalized stationery online. Paper is a tactile experience and best appreciated in person. Furthermore, low resolution internet images tend to distort colors and it is nearly impossible to predict color outcomes using the internet. Nevertheless, many clients use the internet and bridal magazines to research wedding invitations. While we strongly encourage potential clients to buy from an experienced bricks-and-mortar stationer in their neighborhood, Saint Clair maintains a vibrant website full of information on printing and paper options, etiquette, a wedding timeline and an FAQ on wedding invitations. More importantly, we list a number of leading fine paper companies we represent with hyperlinks to their website for additional information.
If you want to remain up-to-date on the latest trends in wedding invitations, I suggest that you subscribe to an RSS feed from the StationersGuild News. Short of a subscription to Stationery Trends magazine, the Stationers Guild news provides some of the most enlightening information on wedding invitations in the industry. I should know, since most of the articles are written by my husband. On the StationersGuild website, you will also find an expanded list of fine paper companies, links to their websites and a map search feature to help you find a leading stationery store in your neighborhood.
We believe a well-informed consumer is a happy consumer. Make the most of your wedding choices by working with an experienced stationer in your neighborhood.
