What you need to know about misc invitation dealers

Most caterers, photographers, commercial printers and online shops offer lower end styles, lower quality paper(s) and the least expensive forms of printing. Again, this is NOT their mainstay. They will usually send you home with albums or leave you on your own to work out the details.

Each of these resources can result in the following additional situational issues:

(1) Dollars saved often end up being dollars wasted with having to make additional purchases for

reprints because they will not go the extra step of providing proofs nor know what to do to fine

tune what the supplier of the album has provided

(2) These suppliers will not offer the services of a graphic designer to create a map to

accompany your invitations. You will have to go to a graphics person outside these

resources to get professional work done, therefore delaying the printing of your order,

and they may not know the specifications to give to you for the graphics person to provide.

(3) You will pay full price for calligraphy addressing, which is up to $2.50 per invitation.

(4) Mail order suppliers offer no calligraphy addressing for your envelopes.
