I finally finished all of my stationery (invites day and evening, details sheets, address cards, thank you cards and sorry you can't make it cards). (almost all in my photo albums) Sent all off to VP for printing. Spent a fortune on one set (postage costs as everything else nearly free) and got it within 3 days (wanted to make sure quality was good before getting the rest done). Happy with quality indeed so sent off for everything else (sleepless night though as I did too quickly and mucked up one set (left in wrong info) then just before reordered (as they won't let you cancel or change order so I lost £15..... realised I had a b(*&(*&y spelling mistake in two of them. Another £20 lost. At least cheap but frustrating!!! So it is all now with them and waiting to be delivered. I got the invites in Oversized postcards, detail cards o normal sized postcards and then we had business cards made up with the wedding venue address on one side and a "take me home to this address" area for them to write their hotel on it ... just in case! Also got a free address stamp!!
Quality of envelopes from VP not great so going to order elsewhere. As my theme has turned out to be black and white with plka dots (and some reds) - didn't plan on this colour scheme..... I was going to order black envelopes, make the address labels look like invites (also in album) and then maybe depending on time and if I can find paper, line the flap of the envelope with dots... then wrap all of the cards with a red ribbon. Too much?
Love to get feedback!
