TODAY we’re talking about the ins and outs of wedding stationery. If you’re not around stationery a lot , it can be a very overwhelming process because there’s a lot of terminology that most people don’t know.
I wanted to bring Allison on to today’s show to ease our listeners’ anxiety about wedding stationery. I want them to feel confident when they begin the process and know the right questions to ask.
From letterpress to blind press, escort cards versus place cards, the wedding stationery world can be a confusing place if you’re not familiar with the terminology. On today’s episode, I talk to a stationery expert and together we give you a crash course on all things wedding stationery.
No matter where you are in your wedding planning journey, or even if you’re a vendor listening along – you’re going to want to listen to today’s episode. I promise you will learn something new that will help you prepare for your wedding, or at least tell you the difference between an escort card and a place card.
