Tips & Warnings

• Keep your budget in mind. Going to a printer won’t necessarily cost you more than anything else, but the more elaborate your creation, the more expensive it could get.
• Consider hiring a graphic designer to assist you in creating the perfect invitation to send to your printer of choice. This may also grant you a better working relationship with a printer as well; especially if they have a particular print shop they work with.
• Printing your own is always an option if you cannot find a printer you like.
• Be sure you are getting exactly what you want when you order, especially in the case of custom made invitations. Printers will do their best to work with you, but may not be able to achieve everything you ask. Make sure you see previews before you pay for your entire order.
