Why a Professional? Invitations

There are so many options available on the internet for brides and often they appear to be a great bargain. But in fact, what looks like a budget saver can turn out to be a costly mistake. There are professionals trained in every aspect of wedding planning. Today let's talk about why a professional's expertise can help you with your invitations.

Remember that you get what you pay for. If the price of an invitation you see online is just too good to be true, well most likely it isn't of good quality. When you work with a professional stationer, she will guide you to the best quality product in your price range.

Additionally, you probably don't have much experience in the etiquette involved in addressing your invitations. Over the past couple of years I've learned many things from Jennifer Sanford of Invitation Creations by Jennifer. For example, did you know that when you are not using Mr. and Mrs. that the woman's name should always come first? Jane and John Doe - never John and Jane Doe. Plus the only words that should be abbreviated are Dr. and Jr. - everything else such as Road, Street, or State names should be fully spelled out out.

There are many, many tips like this that you will benefit from when working with a qualified professional.
