Hello! We had a chat with Debra of Acadia Card who does personalised wedding cards. She's been in the business for 8 years with various portfolios that even include corporate clients. Here are some things that we had a chat about.
JFT: What are the popular trends and styles for wedding invites today?
AC: Simple cards that come with embossed wordings, monograms or initials seem popular among wedding couples nowadays. I have more clients requesting for such invites.
JFT: How much should a wedding couple budget for customised invitations?
AC: For a destination wedding, as the number of guests is small, the number of invites required is also smaller than the usual wedding. For a normal wedding, I would advise couples to budget about RM1,200 for a set of 200 customised stationary. On the other hand, for destination weddings, couples should budget about RM800 for 50 sets of customised stationary. A set of stationary may include save the date cards, the invitation, information on the venue or destination of the wedding ceremony, reception and RSVP card, and envelope.
JFT: What ways can couples save money on their wedding invites?
AC: I would advise couples to be practical and use simple designs . Elaborate designs increase costs .
JFT: What is the ideal timeline for ordering wedding invitations?
AC: At least 4 months for traditional wedding. 6 months for destination weddings.
JFT: Now, what do you think are the colour trends for 2010?
AC: I have a few clients who are requesting for red and black colours this year. So I guess the trends for 2010 are traditional yet with bold colours like red and black.
