{ Sunday Stationery Tip #3 } Booking a custom invitation designer
-
I’m going to do it. I’m going to call out the wedding magazines/sites who haven’t changed their “suggested wedding planning timelines” since the 80s.
Custom-designed invitations from small studios are more affordable and more popular than ever right now.
But many of the big-name publications haven’t adjusted the suggested timing for ordering custom-designed invitations.
Almost every independent designer I know well, know a little, or even just casually chat with once in a blue moon book up well in advance. This means if you contacted them 4 months before your wedding per the old-school recommendation, you’d be out of luck – or paying rush fees to squeeze onto their schedules.
The worst thing to hear from your most favorite designer at the last minute is “sorry, I’m booked.”
This is why it’s important to research invitation options early. And if you decide that custom invitations are the route to go (of course they are ; ) then book your favorite designer early. It’s just like booking a florist, dj or photographer.
Get it done early, check it off the list, and revisit the details later…. CHECK!
