A Non-Traditional Alternative To The Traditional Order Of Service!
If you're looking for modern alternative wedding stationery for your celebration of love, then you'll know that it's a minefield out there! So many styles, designs, formats...the list goes on...how are you meant to choose and why does having an order of service even matter?
Here are 3 reasons why it matters!
1. An order of service will tell your guests exactly what to expect on the day. It should give them an idea of what the vibe will be and more importantly when they’re going to eat!. Without this, they'll make their own expectations [which often leads to disappointment because their ideas are probably hugely different from yours]. Giving them a heads up can alleviate any tensions or confusion...a knowledgeable guest is a happy guest, right?
2. Your personality should shine through, it should scream ‘you’ when it comes to the design and the wording. Your guests know you so don’t confuse them by going all traditional when that’s not ‘you’!
3. It will be something to treasure, a family keepsake that will be looked at in years to come... because someone will want to keep it in a box in the loft...guaranteed. I recently found out that my in-laws were re-gifted loads of items from their wedding including stationery... they've been married over 50 years! How special is that?!
There are loads of ways you can make your wedding stationery personal and something that represents you...things like:
Anecdotes
Love/proposal stories
‘In' jokes/references/one liners
Fave movie quotes
Song lyrics
