Upcoming Shows

We were honoured to be invited once again to this amazing bridal show at the Carolina Inn

January 30th - from 1:00 to 4:00.

It is VERY important to proofread your invitations and here are a few tips to keep in mind! When getting your proofs via email you should always print to size. Read you invitation and all other enclosures aloud. If possible have some one listen and read along as you read it out. Check the spelling of all names. Check all dates and numbers carefully. Check that all locations, times, dates and address's were included. In RSVP make sure there is a space provided for the guest names, the return by date, the food option if needed and the number attending. Check the overall layout of the invitation. Make sure you got the right size, color, spacing etc. See if you can hand it out to someone who is not familiar with the details and have them proofread. Don't forget that your invitation designer or retailer does not know the datails of your event as intimately as you do and in most cases proofreading is NOT part of their service.

Where to put the wedding website?

Your "save the date" cards are the perfect place to mention your wedding website. However for those of you who did not have one at that time or just forgot, a "wedding details" card is a great way to send it out with your invitations. You should never include it on the invitation.

New Letterpress, Thermography and Engraved Invitations

The most amazing invitations are coming to our Maria Scheel Invitations & More... Studio in Raleigh. I spent a week in NYC at the Stationary Show searching for the best of the best. These are just a peek at what is to come for the 2010 and 2011 season of custom wedding invitations.

The trend for high end invites is to go super simple and elegant or super bold with fonts and colors!

Katie and Vance

Katie & Vance had and amazing wedding on April 24,2010 with the help of event planner Tracy Adams. I had so much fun working with this couple, their planner and of course the mother of the bride Clare! The photographer for this event Christobal Perez ,owner of Azul photography was kind enough to share some pictures of their seating scroll, menus and table number that were a custom creation made for this event!

Platinum Wedding Invitations

When you are planning the perfect wedding it all starts with the right invitation. Your wedding invitation will be the first glimpse your guest will have of the event. It should set the mood, is it a casual affair or will they need to wear a tux? If you are planning a stunning wedding with attention to detail, do not forget to include custom invitations that will let your guest know just how special this event is to you.

Cookie Favor Trend

One of this years biggest wedding trends is cookie favors for all the guests.

They look great and taste even better!
