​

cards that make up your suite

 first things first, let's go over all of the different cards that can be included in your wedding suite! 
​while these are the most common types of cards to be included, we can always accommodate a custom request too if you had a unique idea in mind for your special day!

the save the date

we recommend sending a save the date card if you are booking your wedding more than 1 year out, or in the event you are having a destination wedding. 

​save the dates provide a lovely reminder of your special day to hang onto until you mail out your invitation suites. 
​

the actual invitation

ah, the showstopper itself, the invitation.  while all the stationery in your invitation suite will be luxurious & beautiful, the invitation is the real star of the show.  your invitation contains all of the special details of the day you say 'i do' & makes the most timeless keepsake to remember your day.
​
we include details such as the names, date, ceremony time & location, but leave the rest to the other cards in your suite, so that the invitation only has the important things!

the reception card

ya, that's right, the party card.  the reception card is commonly used in addition with your invitation to invite your guests to your celebration following the ceremony!  in some cases, this card is handed out solo as well, to invite guests to the reception only!  

on this card we feature all the details of your reception, including the date, time & location.  we recommend including this card with your invitation suite, for the guests invited to the ceremony, to ensure they have all the specific details of the reception, if different than your ceremony.
​

the information card

give your guests all the information they need, while adding to the beauty that is your invitation suite. 

information or details cards can contain a multitude of different things, depending on the specifics of your wedding.  

commonly seen on an information card, we include hand drawn maps, accommodation information, details about the venue, in some cases your wedding website and any other important bits you would like to include!

the rsvp card

the rsvp card might just be our second favourite card in a suite, you can seriously have so much fun with it.  we love to customize the reply cards we create by using wording that actually sounds like the couple, as opposed to the more traditional sentiments.  

so, let's have your guests replying with a big 'hell ya' to your wedding day, because why shouldn't they be that excited?! 

​also, cute small envelopes, who doesn't love that? 

not having a traditional mailback rsvp?  that's okay too!  we still recommend having your rsvp details on a separate card than your invitation, so we can include your rsvp details on a completely separate card of it's own, or you can add it to your information card.
​

printing methods

we offer a variety of different printing methods to be able to achieve whatever look you are going for with your wedding stationery!  we offer options for both a lower budget & a luxury budget, so we are able to make the perfect recommendation for your project, no matter what you would like to spend.

digital printing

one of the most common methods of printing in todays age, offering both a great look & a budget friendly price.  digital printing includes full colour spectrum & full coverage printing.

letterpress printing

one of the oldest methods of printing there is.  letterpress offers a deep relief of the lettering & graphics for a tactile feel & touch that your guests are sure to remember.  when printing with letterpress, each colour is applied separately through multiple processes.  with this method you can achieve a look like no other.

embossing

while similar to letterpress, it is actually quite the opposite.  raise your text right off the paper for another fantastic texturized experience for your recipients.  embossing offers a very luxury feel & makes a gorgeous statement on any piece it is added to.

hot foil stamping

a timeless printing method, created using heat with metal printing plates.  each colour of foil will be laid down individually, similar to the methods involved with letterpress printing, but this time using hot foil.  the perfect method for printing silver & gold with that shiny pop! 

white ink printing

while some may not know this, most printers do NOT print white ink, which makes this a specialty service!  white ink printing is a great method for printing on dark envelopes & cardstock to offer legible text while keeping with a dark, moody theme. 

uv printing

a specialty form of printing used to print directly to plastic substrates.  if you were looking for acrylic wedding invitations, this is the method we would use for that.   we also uv printing for creating our wedding sign packages.

a note on printing styles & budget


​for our wedding stationery, while our most common method of printing is digital printing, we can absolutely offer more luxurious printing & finishing services if that is what you are in the market for!  we have experience with letterpress printing, hot foil stamping, uv printing, offset printing & more, and we would love to work with you to incorporate some of these methods into your wedding designs to create timeless, lasting, printed goods.

​at kreative we try to have options for every budget, so we offer multiple paper & card stock options, as well as different printing methods, at different price points to be able to accommodate whatever you are willing to spend.  we will always offer our best recommendation within your budget to be able to create beautiful wedding stationery for you, at a price you are comfortable with, but the key feature here is letting us know what you are comfortable spending when filling out your inquiry form, so we can make our recommendations based on that!
​

stationery accessories

accessorize your invitations with all the goods for a full suite with all of the bells & whistles, as they say.

envelopes

invitation bands

ok, let's talk accessories.  these invitation bands are definitely one of our most used enclosures, they work so well to keep all your cards together in one little package, so when your guests pull it out of the envelope, they are sure to get all of the pieces inside!  

invitation bands can be customized completely to suit your suite's design,  we have a huge selection of heavyweight coloured papers to choose from, as well as translucent vellum (pictured here). 

​we can also print on your invitation band to add a personal touch & a hint of your wedding style, before they even open up the package! 
​

wax seals

the most elegant touch to complete your invitation suite.  we offer a wide range in colours & finishes of sealing wax, as well as unlimited possibilities for design.  choose from classic stamps, or create your own!  

wax seals can be added either inside your envelope on your invitation suite to hold together a vellum wrap, or maybe a string or ribbon, or you can use them on the exterior of your envelope to seal it shut!  

let us help you bring your wax seal dreams to life!

vellum wraps

we love vellum wraps.  our wraps are printed & scored in house & are seriously the perfect finishing touch to an invitation suite, they offer a certain level of depth to your assembled invitation that carries out the vibe while looking so crisp & clean in it's envelope!  

while vellum wraps can be printed, they also look amazing when left as a white translucent for those who prefer a more simple style. 

​they can be closed with a wax seal, ribbon, string, paper band & more.  
​

guest addressing

save so much time & create the perfect exterior look, by forgoing handwritten addresses for a clean, printed guest address.  we offer direct to envelope printing as well as letterpress envelope return address printing.

printing direct to envelopes is a great look & is sure to keep everything looking beautiful & crisp on the outside of the envelopes.  we offer any colour of ink printing for this, when printing on darker envelopes, such as black, navy or dark green, we offer the option of white ink printing.
