i found invitations to be one of the more overwhelming aspects of planning my wedding. what design? what colors? what type of printing method? how many pieces do i need? do i want a pocket envelope? what should the wording be? after scanning various fabulous websites (good on paper, a day in may, hello lucky, etc) i decided it was time to go into an actual store and start browsing samples in books.

union street papery is a great store to visit to see real life samples for most of the well known vendor/design options out there. the ladies are very experienced in putting together invitations. if you just want to browse and gather ideas, they'll leave you alone to the books. on my second visit back, i was ready to put together the order. i worked with Kate - who was great at steering me in the right direction after hearing what i wanted. the store is always very busy, but i never felt rushed. she kept showing me options and suggesting ideas for all aspects of the invitation until every last detail was decided.

the turnaround time is extremely fast. after placing my order on a saturday afternoon, i received the proof of my design by monday! the final product was gorgeous. the quality of the letterpress was very good and i am very proud to be sending out my invitations this week!
