Last year I posted a comprehensive checklist to use while proofreading your invitations. Which is very important. But there are those words and phrases which don’t get along with spell check.

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 [...]
