Choosing your stationery whether you are a business that makes wedding invitations, wedding cards, bridal cards or someone who wants to make home-made cards, it is best that you know the kind of wedding stationary you want to use or offer your clients. The feel and look of the invitation or card speaks for itself. If it is carelessly made, the impression would be that the occasion was not planned well even before the guest has arrived to the event. For a business, this would make your clients unhappy and unsatisfied. Hence, it would be good to have background knowledge when selecting your wedding stationary. First to consider is your budget. Although most stationery paper is affordable, there are other high-grade specialty paper made from cotton, and those that went through more mechanical processes to make them acid free and more resistant to wear and tear coming from heat. Homemade stationery paper is also cheaper, especially if they are locally made and are not branded; it is also a greener alternative. Second, you have to take into consideration the method of creating your cards. Are they going to be hand made, printed or a hybrid of both. This must be taken into consideration because not all paper can handle ink jet and laser printing and smudging. For this kind of method, laser and ink jet compatible wedding stationery is recommended. It is guaranteed that your ink will not smudge on the pages, there is no need to insert a tissue paper on top of the printed page, and they are also sold with thematic designs such as butterflies, flowers, gardens and wedding bells. Moreover, contrary to popular belief, handmade paper are also print-compatible, depending on the quality. This can also be a good alternative because they are usually recycled, and are thus eco-friendly papers. One should also take into consideration the texture and kind of paper to be used. For example cotton paper has a smooth texture and can include watermark images. It has a cottony feel that fits well with other textured ornaments. Fabriano paper which is a kind of high grade paper usually used by artists is recommended if you are to use watercolor or paint in creating your card. There are also stationery cards that have embossed designs and some with cut stencil designs that are sold in specialty stores. Finally, it isn’t only the kind of wedding stationary you will use that is important. Composing a wedding message that is unique and personal will also add to the specialness of the occasion, making the guests feel that the coming event is a celebration worth attending.
