With just about half of the year already gone here is a Reminder of our Order Dates!

To ensure that there is sufficient time for the design phase and assembly of your event stationery, please contact us to reserve a date based on the guidelines below. As a suggestion, invitations should be sent out at least 8 weeks in advance. We recommend that you order 6-8 weeks prior to this deadline. With this in mind, your invitations should ideally be ordered no later than 14-16 weeks (3.5-4 months) in advance of your wedding. The following is an order schedule for weddings with invitations being mailed 8 weeks before your event. For a custom design, you will want to book your invitation consultation at least 6 months in advance of your wedding. Please note that these are simply guidelines and we may be able to accommodate rush orders.

"Tangerine Tango" Inspired Invitation by Absolutely Inviting

As promised in our recent blog post on Pantone's Color of the Year 2012, here is an invitation mock up we did using "Tangerine Tango". This color can be paired with muted/neutral colors such as Blacks, Browns, Creams, Grays etc. for a bold yet classic look (typical of winter and fall weddings), or it can be paired with festive colors such as Greens, Yellows, and Pinks for a fun and flirty look (think spring and summer weddings)!

For our sample, we decided to do a three layered square invite with a simple damask inspired graphic. Because we know how hard it is sometimes to visualize your completed invitation, when you order your invitations at Absolutely Inviting, you can receive a 'true to life' digital proof like this one prior to us finalizing a design for your invitation mock up!
