We enjoyed talking to all the brides, grooms, friends and family who visited our booth at the Tacoma Wedding Expo. Once again, we found that brides are looking for all kinds of invitations - traditional, contemporary, colorful, seal 'n sends...

We heard a lot of you telling us that you're looking for affordable invitations. With prices starting at around $40 for 100 invitations, we were able to show many of you who visited our booth that professionally printed invitations are definitely affordable.

We heard from some brides who told us they had just ordered their invitations from another retail or online outlet. Many of these brides learned that we could have possibly saved them some money, given our 30% discount on all invitations ordered through our albums or online. We give you the best of both worlds - online shopping convenience with personal attention and service. When you place your order online through our website, I proof your order, approve it and then follow it through the printing and shipping process to insure you get your invitations as you wanted them in the time you need them.

We also heard from a lot of you that you plan to print your own invitations. While we think it's more economical to order printed invitations, we can be a valuable resource for those of you who want to do it yourself. We can get dealer/wholesale prices on invitation card stock and speciality paper. Before going to popular (and expensive) paper outlets, contact us. Let us know what you want and we'll see if we can get it for you at a discount through one of our suppliers.

Remember you should plan to mail your invitations 6-8 weeks before your wedding. And you'll want to allow yourself plenty of time for addressing the invitations before mailing them, so plan to order your invitations at least three months before the wedding. It takes 7-10 days from the day you place your order until the day they are delivered.

If you plan to also send Save the Date cards, magnets or coasters, you'll want to order and mail those about 9-12 months before the wedding so out of town guests have ample time to make travel arrangements, schedule time off from their jobs and get hotel accommodations.
