Most couples may not realize the importance of wedding stationery or wonder why they’re essential, and we’re here to clarify that today. Have a look below to see the importance of stationery at your wedding!
Engagement Party
In a digital world, you may be tempted to use an e-card, but a physical engagement invitation card has invites friends and family with sophistication and personalization.
It’s one way to involve your guests and show that you were thoughtful enough to go through the process of sending them personalized invitations. You may also add details about the color and dress code for your engagement party.
Save The Dates
Most people do everything over the internet, thanks to technology. However, sending your guests save the date cards help them remember your date because the cards are always somewhere around to be seen, usually hanging on the fridge for up to a year before your big day. Add your wedding website address and other important details so guests can retrieve helpful accommodation information in advance.
