Writing and Styling your wedding invitations

Creating wedding stationery is a complicated process, more so than you would imagine! Therefore we are pleased to bring you this short series of blog posts walking you through the process step by step, thinking about all those things you may not have yet considered.

If you are now a client of Cutture you will receive the full comprehensive digital guide ‘writing and styling your invitations’, this blog series is taking excerpts from that guide with enough information to help you on your way, if you are simply visiting the site then welcome and thank you for joining us!

First of all, many congratulations on your forthcoming wedding! As a supplier we want you to enjoy this process every step of the way, planning your day is just as important an experience as the day itself, so in order to make it run as smoothly as possible, we have worked for many months on this resource to help guide you through the process.
