Show Notes


If you don't know what type of invitation you are looking to have or maybe you don't even know what your options are, this episode is for you.  We get into all the details of the elements of your wedding stationery and will help you understand enough so that you can make a great decision. From save the dates to cocktail hour napkins.  Things to look forward to in this episode:

  • Stationery vs Stationary, let's clear these 2 words up real quick
  • What is a template or semi-custom invitation and what are the limits to going that route
  • What can you get from a custom stationer or custom designer
  • How to save within your stationery budget
  • Do you need a save the date?
  • When to send out your invitations (heads up: Annie, Peggy Post and I do not agree on this)

Annie Roche is the owner of 5 by 7 designs, a boutique invitation studio located in Dallas, Texas. A Dallas native and USC grad, Annie left her life destined for law school when she fell in love with paper while working at a little stationery store. Annie followed the paper trail to become the art direction for an event company in 2007. She left the company in 2012 to start 5 by 7 designs.
 When Annie is not designing custom invitation suites for clients around the globe, you can find her co-hosting This Week in Weddings Podcast, a podcast for wedding industry entrepreneurs.
