Wedding Invitations

Hi everyone,

So LA Events has had two extremely busy weekends in a row. From hosting and planning an event to hand making an order of 42 wedding invites, in a space of two weeks we have impressed even ourselves.

Although we offer event planning services, we also specialise in the making of stationery for weddings, bachelorette parties etc. We had our first official wedding invitation order, and boy did we have fun with it! There was a lot of menial work involved such as cutting and sticking what felt like endless pieces of cardboard, but designing the layout and playing with different ideas and paper and then watching them slowly come together was a real treat. The bride had a basic idea in mind and gave us the benefit of the doubt to make a few changes as we saw fit and really trusted us. Every design, from the pattern to the wording was our own design from scratch and every detail was handmade. We also did all our own printing, cutting etc.

We were put under a bit of pressure time wise as the bride needed to send out the invites soon as the wedding date had been brought closer, but as our aim is to please we burnt the midnight oil and got the job done as promised. You know the phrase about working hard, “blood, sweat and tears” -well this literally applied to us with this job. I sliced my finger twice on the guillotine which involved some blood. A bit of sweat as we pushed to get the invites completed on time. Tears – only tears of laughter, because we truly have fun while doing this, spending all this time together leads to some funny conversations and a whole lot of laughs, especially when your friend manages to half mutilate her fingers while folding, not even cutting, invites on a guillotine!

Once again we had a happy client, who has now even enquired for further quotes on more wedding stationery. The reward is in handing over a pleasing end product to a happy client. What excites us most is knowing this was just the first job, and we are only going to get better and better with each new one.

This was really an enjoyable task and we look forward to many many more, cutting and sticking and all! Hopefully just no blood next time.

Keep well guys, and remember we are here to assist with all stationery for any occasion, handmade with love and passion!
