Timing affects paper availability, printing method Timing affects paper availability, printing methods, and how much room there is for revisions.When timing feels rushed, decisions tend to feel rushed too.This is why building a clear, realistic timeline is such an important part of my process.Save this for planning later.
Wedding stationery planning does not have to feel Wedding stationery planning does not have to feel overwhelming.You do not need to decide everything at once.

2016 was quite a year, compared to now it seems li 2016 was quite a year, compared to now it seems like barely anything happened but looking back i realized it was a very transitional year. I had switched jobs, moved, got engaged, started calligraphy, and was planning a wedding. Proof and Parchment didn’t exist yet…but you can definitely see the pieces all starting to fall in place.
I see couples make these mistakes all the time:O I see couples make these mistakes all the time:Ordering invitations without a plan.
Waiting too long and rushing decisions.
Not accounting for printing, assembling, and mailing time.Stationery timing affects everything from your design options to your stress level.This is why every custom project I take on includes a clear stationery timeline from the start.A little planning here makes the rest of the process feel calm instead of chaotic.Save this if you are newly engaged.
