Searching for the Best Wedding Stationer in Oklahoma?

We chatted with Oklahoma stationers/calligraphers Laurel and Marie (Ruby Murray and Whitney Wade) about what couples really need to know about wedding stationery.

First, be sure to book custom invitation suites early. Custom wedding invitation suites take at least two months to design and that's not two months from your wedding-- it's two months from sending your invites weeks ahead of time.

For Laurel and Marie specifically, you will want to start your booking process early to ensure they have your date and enough time to complete your suite. Hand-calligraphed stationery takes time, so they have limited availability. Whitney calligraphs each envelope by hand, and she’s only got one of them!

Curious about what goes into a semi-custom or fully custom invitation suite? Head on over to their website to get a quote for your wedding.

I asked them about the biggest misconception in the stationery world, and I hope their response allows you to see the value in booking an Oklahoma wedding stationer for your wedding.

"Wedding stationery seems to get the shaft in the prescribed wedding budgets you see on popular wedding websites--sometimes as little as 2-4% of the overall budget. And we've lost track of the number of times we've heard 'Why would you spend money on wedding invitations? They'll just get thrown away!' [W]e believe the opposite: that wedding stationery is the first impression your guests will get of your wedding — the mood and design, the level of formality, the amount of care you will put in making sure your guests will have a great time. A beautifully-calligraphed envelope and gorgeous invitation goes a long way to show your guests that you care about them--and that you're planning a killer party. The flowers will fade and you'll eat all the food, but your stationery is a keepsake that you and your guests can keep forever." ⠀

With Laurel and Marie, there is no task too outlandish for them to complete—think macaron place cards or circular dinner menus. Whatever your dream wedding suite looks like, they will get the job done and exceed your expectations. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
