What you should have in mind when thinking about how much effort a wedding or barmitzvah invitation is worth, is that: most likely the invitation will sit on the fridges of your guests for quite a while so it is worth putting effort into a great design. Off the shelf invitations are generally at the cheaper end of the market, while handmade invitations are next in line. Bespoke invitations are the most expensive but are the first glimpse that your guests will have of your wedding or barmitzvah style.
Don’t forget that postage costs can add up quickly, so if you are sending out a lot of invitations (and reply cards) this should also be accounted for in your budget.
When looking for stationery try to consider the paper type, the style of printing, embellishments such as ribbon & bows and whether you want every invitation uniquely addressed to each of your guests.
Nevertheless, those invitations are not the only items of stationery that you will need.
* Save the date cards especially useful when the event is abroad.
* The invitation & envelopes
* RSVP cards
* Menus, toast & speech cards
* Thank you cards
* Order of service
* Table plan
* Place cards
In some cases, you might choose to have a particular colour or theme for your function. Or you could pick a photograph for your invitation that has special memories such as one taken by Hayley Lehmann at an engagement or studio portrait session.
