It is sometimes said about invitations, "they just get thrown away, so I don't want to spend much time or money on them". Here are some thoughts to consider:
The invitation is in the hands (and home) of your guests and may be kept in their homes for several weeks or more before the event
The cake gets eaten...and the flowers die...
Every detail of an event, such as a wedding, is important because those special, unique, and personalized details help create the best memories and those memories are kept forever.
