3 budgeting items you
don't want to forget
No matter how many to-do lists we make, there are always items that sneak up on us when wedding planning. Whether you're planning the event yourself or have a wedding planner by your side to keep you on track, brides and grooms often forget at least one thing (we all did!). To help, we discuss some of the most common unexpected planning items—just don't forget to add these to that to-do list! POSTAGE Picking out your invitations is one of the most exciting parts about planning a wedding. But what couples often forget is that each invite will need not one, but two, stamps (one for the outer envelope and one for the RSVP envelope), plus any invite that is not a standard shape or weight will add to that cost and add to the amount of stamps you need. Postage is also needed for thank you cards, bridal shower invites, and save the dates, so it adds up quickly! Keep costs down by picking a standard size and weight for your invites and ordering the stamps in bulk.

calligraphy & chalkboards
wedding trends
newly released
Fall weddings are about embracing the whimsy in the air, and what better way to do that than with an invitation suite of breezy calligraphy and motifs of graceful garlands. When it comes to day-of stationery, ditch the individual pieces of paper for big personalized signage. Blackboards as cute welcome signs by the venue entrance, mirrors with calligraphed cocktail offerings for the happy hour and even a big escort board presentation all score points in the décor department. Finishing Touches: Give your signage some romantic border treatments with eucalyptus or lemon leaf garlands, and accent with a few vines of florals (think: clematis or wisteria).
Minimums and restrictions may apply.
