Title: Custom wedding invitations from experienced stationers in your neighborhood
Greenwich, CT (TransWorldNews) December 27, 2008 -- Selecting your wedding invitation is best not left to chance. Most estimates suggest that roughly 70% of all wedding invitations are purchased at a brick and mortar store. Through word of mouth recommendations by family or friends, many bridal couples use an experienced stationer in their neighborhood to help sort through the many paper samples, design options and printing processes to craft their wedding invitation.
While this time-tested method is generally the best approach, couples and their families are increasingly turning to bridal magazines, wedding blogs, social networks and online search to keep abreast of current trends in wedding stationery. While online search generates plenty of leads, the end result of an online search is more often a sales pitch than useful information. Many of the cutting-edge wedding invitation designers are not represented on the internet and serious stationers would never consider selling custom invitations online. Filling in an online template with a limited range of customization alternatives and paper styles is simply not a recommended course of action for something as important as your wedding.
In October 2008, the Stationers Guild launched a website designed to help the online buyer find current and relevant information about wedding invitations and fine stationery. Aside from providing information and links to well over 60 leading fine paper companies, the Guild also provides a powerful Google mapping tool to help you locate qualified independent stationers in your neighborhood.
Julie Holcomb, one of the leading designers of letterpress stationery for the last 25 years, elegantly states why working with and experienced stationer makes a lot sense: “When you work with your local stationer, it's a secure process for you and for us. We can confidently print your invitations or other stationery, knowing that what we are creating is exactly what you are expecting. You've held our paper in your hands, you've seen all of our designs, typefaces, and edgings for yourself, and you've seen the ink color you've chosen, printed on our white and on our cream paper. And you can place your order with confidence in the quality of what you will receive, because your stationer knows us well.”
Take the guess-work out of creating wedding papers that you will treasure for generations. The Stationers Guild website provides you with useful and unbiased information on the leading craftsman in the industry and the stores that sell these beautiful papers.
