Next up Invites!

Since getting engaged at the very end of January we have booked our venue, photographers, wedding planner & decor company! Not bad for only 2 weeks of planning huh :)

Since we wanted to get married this year and knew a lot of vendors would be booked up very soon we jumped on it and got a lot done fast so we can breathe a sigh of relief now and prep for our big move.

Once the move is over next on my list are the invites..... do we get them done in India or local? Lets weight the pros and cons shall we?

Invites done in India:
Pros:
Very cost efficient
Parents are going to India so I don't have to pay for shipping
Pretty enough to possibly impress the FI's side
We have family friends there who can if needed so and approve the sample
More money is left over for programs, menus and table #'s

Cons:
Not so original
Completely Indian so non of FI's non-Indian side is represented
Communication barrier
Time restraints
Invites made locally:
Pros:
Able to create a "fusion" style invite
Unique
Able to see the proofs in person

Cons:
Not of cost officiant
I would want to find someone who created one of a kind invites and that may be hard

This is our next big decision and challenge and Im looking forward to it!

  1. My co-workers have gotten there's done in India & gorgeous. Why not just get the paper & envelopes there & print them off here professionally? I'm happy with my choices & the place I went to. Can't wait for them to be ready:)
