Well, we are giving it away, actually. See, as a startup in the event stationery market, we can’t afford to print our sample pieces just yet. So, in exchange for you taking the best-thing-you-ever-did-besides-agree-to-marry-your-fiancé risk of contracting us to do your wedding invitations, we’re giving away our services for free! All we ask is for five copies of your invitation suite to add to our sample book.
What we’re looking for are two couples with weddings in June or July 2010 who would love champagne invitations on a beer budget. You’ll need to pay printing, but our services will be free. If you want a more traditional invitation (as in “printed on some sort of paper”), be prepared to have them letterpressed (usually around $4 and up per invitation). Other, more non-traditional (laser-etched on cork (or meat), screenprinted on fabric, you get the point) are welcome as well – the wilder the idea, the better the chance of being picked.
If we get quite a few inquiries, we’ll be picking our favorites to work with. We’re looking for adventurous couples with adventurous themes and ideas for their weddings.
If you’re up for it, leave a comment.
Oh man, I wish I was getting married sometime soon. We’re planning on doing a mock comic book page for our wedding invitation!
When are you getting married?
We don’t have a date yet but probably 2012 now since his brother stole our original date in March 2011. 😉
What about August 2010? We still don’t yet have our invites. Can you do anything creative with a test tube? I’m working on the PhD and my fiances a web designer.
No one knows (well, now you will but still try to keep it a secret) but we are planning an elopement. But we still need to send out “Hey we just got married” announcements etc. maybe this still counts? The announcements would need to go out first week of June. ~ Darby and David (ps. he plays bass and g-tar and loves to jam! )
Congratulations, Darby!
That certainly counts! The lack of an RSVP card and whatnot also cuts cost even more!
We have a fairly unique but interesting situation. We’ve lived together for 14 years and are in our 60’s. We are going to get married in August and as much as we want a small quiet wedding, we will be inviting a few people. We also do an annual Barbeque and are going to use that as the reception the next day. So we have a somewhat tricky situation. Very unconventional and wording will be a challenge.
I want a separate smaller wedding invitiation to fit inside the BBQ Invitation. It will only go in about 20 off the 60 BBQ invites.
Any comment?
Luella –
Sounds like an awesome opportunity for innovation!
Look for an email from me!
