Wedding invitations are a crucial part of the wedding planning process. They are essential in explaining to guests who, what, when, and where of your big celebration! With so much pressure to pick the right invitations, you probably also know just how expensive they can be. You may be hesitant to spend your invitation budget without seeing a sample first. In this blog post, we’ll explain primary reasons why it is essential to get samples of invitations prior to making that big purchase. Plus, learn how to get a FREE wedding invitation sample kit from Minted.
Let’s begin!
Ensure Quality and Design
Seeing an invitation on a computer screen vs. in person are two very different things. You will want to make sure the invitation you’re about to order will look just as beautiful in your hands as it does on the monitor when previewing the design. A sample invitation can give you that reassurance that you’re selecting the right choice in the overall aesthetic the invitation.
Allows for Customization
Playing around with colors and fonts is fun online, but once you see the invitation printed in your selected style and theme you may change your mind. These small details like font and color can make a big difference, so it’s great to get a sample before you buy.
Helps in Budgeting
You may be considering different invitation styles and sizes, like an All-In-One invitation vs. a standard card. By ordering wedding invitation samples, you’re able to avoid costly mistakes from ordering without seeing a sample first. You’ll also be able to decide which format works best for you and your partner.
Allows for Physical Comparison
When you’re unsure on color palettes or themes, having the physical sample in hand versus a digital version will make all the difference. It’s a good idea to compare the different invitation samples you order side by side for a better comparison.
Helps in Choosing the Right Vendor
Are you sure the paper quality will feel as luxurious in your hands as you’re envisioning in the digital mock-up? How are the invitations packaged? Is shipping easy and quick? These are the sorts of questions you’ll get to answer by seeing the quality and design from different vendors before making a decision on your stationer.
As we’ve discussed here, getting a sample of an invitation makes sense! You’ll be able to see the actual colors and style in hand, versus relying on the digital rendering on your screen. Furthermore, you’ll be comfortable with the ordering process, which will help you nail down the right vendor for your stationery needs. This can be beneficial when incorporating other day-of stationery items for your wedding from menus to programs, the welcome sign to the favor tags – and more!
So, before you spend the invitation portion of your budget, make sure you get a sample first. :) It’s a crucial part of the planning process.
