Wedding Invitation Advice

Wedding invitations are available from stationery stores, online, in department stores or through mail-order catalogs. You also can hire an independent graphic designer to design one-of-a-kind invitations, or, if you’re design-savvy, you can design them yourself. Whatever route you choose, the general rule is to order them about 4-5 months before your wedding, once the guest list is fi nalized.

online; invitations were cited as the most popular item (49%), followed by favors (44%), bridal accessories/jewelry (41%) and bridal gowns (40%).

Save-the-date cards are increasingly saving the day

Tami Kowit arrived at Doll Bloom’s tiny shop lugging a jumbo-sized book of sample invitations and a medium slab of indecision.

“Sari really wants purple,” Kowit said, as she opened the book to a purple invitation embossed with butterflies. “You can take off the butterflies and put horses, right?” she said cautiously, dithering about invitations to send for her daughter’s June bat mitzvah.

Bloom sells custom-printed invitations, cards and so forth at Notoriety, her store in Beachwood, Ohio. An integral part of her work is to reassure the hosts and hostesses who come her way. “You don’t have to decide until January,” she instructed Kowit, the proverbial soccer mom on the run.

Besides, the two women already had decided on the first order of business: the save-the-date card.
