2) Tips on selecting the best invitation for your wedding:
Tip 1:Your invitation is the first part of your wedding your guests see. It is important that it sets the tone of your wedding and reflect your personal style. Use the typeface(s), colors, wording and motifs to visually communicate that style and vision. Select an invitation that you’d be excited to receive in the mail.

Tip 2: Don’t be afraid to be bold when communicating your likes and dislikes to your vendors. We’re here to help bring your dreams to life. The more we learn about you, the better we can do our part.

Tip 3: Start early on your guest list. It can be a time consuming task. The best part is that after it’s complete – you’ll always have a great list for your holiday card mailings.

Tip 4: Have fun! If you’re getting overwhelmed or stressed out, stop and remember that it’s your wedding. You can plan it however you like.

3) Most common questions:
Question 1: What does the custom invitation design process entail?
At Little q Designs, we start our custom process with a conversation about your personal style and your vision for the day. We’ll dream, explore and embark on an adventure wrapped in paper, embellished with whimsy and finished with delight. If you’re intrigued by what you see and hear, we’ll create a proposal and a set of sample designs tailored for you.

Our custom design and production requires 8-12 weeks.

The fabulous news for those of you with a shorter timeline or attention span is...we are launching our Ready to Mail Collection on January 4, 2008. Now you can order beautiful boutique catalog invitations from Little q Designs.

Question 2: When should I mail my save the date cards and invitations?
Save the date cards are typically mailed 6-8 months prior to your date. Invitations are mailed 6-8 weeks prior to your date.

Question 3: How many invitations should I order?
It is common for couples to use their head count to calculate the number of invitations they’ll need. Remember, you only need one invitation per household. Calculate your invitation order quantity by counting the number of households on your guest list.

4) Additional thoughts, trends, etc.
Trend 1: Metallics are in. Add a touch of copper, gold or champagne to your invitations with foil printing.

Trend 2: Vintage details are chic. Add old world elegance and refinement to your invitations with vintage graphics, a touch of lace or a rhinestone glimmer.

Trend 3: Be eco-aware. Inquire about the papers, materials and inks that will be used to create your invitations. Soy inks, recycled/post-consumed papers and FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified papers are readily available. Little q Designs uses eco-friendly products whenever possible. You don’t have to sacrifice the environment to create a beautiful invitation!

 

SK Wedding & Event Design

Imagine your wedding day: all you have to do is look down the aisle to the amazing and loving person that you've chosen to spend your life with. SK Wedding & Event Design will take care of everything else.

SK's expert background in 5-star service from her tenure at the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel, and her degree in International Hotel & Restaurant Management from the renowned Glion Hotel School in Switzerland ensures unparalleled service and unfailing attention to detail.

One of the questions that Stacy often receives: How many events do you work on in a year? Stacy is intent on creating quality, not quantity. By taking on just the right amount of couples, SK is able to attend to a couple's every concern. In addition, by limiting the number of couples that she works with, SK is able to spend more time with the couples to gain greater understanding of their unique style, vision, and desires for their wedding. With this focused attention, she is then able to take that understanding and create an environment where your singular, indelible moments can easily and happily occur.
