Congratulations on your engagement!
On behalf of all of us here at Fairy Godmother, we surely hope that your wedding planning process is going smoothly and that our “Congratulations! You’re Engaged, Now What…?” series has been a helpful resource!
At this point in the series, we are just four months away from your big day, how exciting!
You have most, if not all, of your wedding day vendors locked and loaded- what else is there to do??
With just four months left until your big day, it’s that special time to send out your save the dates!
We all know the usual tradition, a cardstock invitation, inspired by the wedding invitation to soon follow. But not anymore!
While some couples stick to what they know (which is completely okay!), some are going for more unique trends… Magnets, calendars, the list goes on.
While picking your date is important, it is also vital to pick a proper invite vendor! You want to be sure that you pick a vendor who uses proper grammar, has great turnaround
You want to be sure that you pick a vendor who uses proper grammar, has great turnaround time, and communicates proper understanding of what it is that you want. You want to be sure that you have looked at samples of the vendor’s original work, not something from the Internet of what their work “looks like,” but their actual work.

While you want your invite vendor to provide their services as a designer, you also want to be sure they provide their services as your editor. Checking for zip codes, spelling and proper dates are all things you want your designer to look for, you want more than a vendor proofing your announcement, you want a true friend who will guide you through the process!
