TOP STATIONERY TIPS
Tip 1. Be open to suggestions from those close to you. Friends and family can often
give great ideas that one would normally not think of.
Tip 2. Intricate Creations love telling a story with our stationery. From the first
impression of the invitations or Save the Date cards, all the way through to the day with the menu, tables plans and place cards. But it’s the little touches such
as our co-ordinating cupcake wrappers, napkin rings and favour boxes that will
be remembered and talked about for years to come. Go on, tell your story.
Tip 3. Be bold with your colours. Creams and whites are still in, but big, bold, bright colours are the future. Teals, Fuchsia Pinks, Cadbury Purple, Royal Blue. Make a
statement and get that “WOW” factor.
Tip 4. Make sure when ordering your wedding stationery you cater for any last minute changes to the guest list, or any spelling mistakes. Trust us when we say, we
have had many brides call us up and ask for more invitations because “so and
so” had made a spelling mistake. We recommended always ordering 10% more
than you think you will need; in the long run it is cheaper for you!
Tip 5. Leave plenty of time to book for your stationery. Bride’s and Groom’s often leave this to last minute, but we think once you know your venue, dates and
amount of guests, then stationery should be next on your list. Stationers get
booked up well in advance, and you don’t want to be in the situation where
you find your perfect stationery, but the designer is fully book and cannot
accept your order. Our advice…sooner rather than later.

Spotlight On - WeddingInviteLove
Tell us what you do?
WeddingInviteLove is a wedding invitation studio directory, devoted to gathering all the best designers and studios together in one place to make it easy for couples to find the perfect designer for their invitations in their price range.
What inspired you to start your business?
I was about to be engaged in college, and as a graphic design major, I started getting really obsessed with wedding invitations. I love how they're such a small package announcing such a big, important event, and the designs can be so varied, unique, and beautiful. I eventually decided to become a web designer, but I've started building web applications devoted to wedding invitations, to showcase my love for the product and to make things easier for both couples and vendors. What are your favourite products/designs?
You can't mention wedding invitations without mentioning letterpress, which is such a beautiful medium. Dolce Letterpress has one of my favorite letterpress designs, with has a gorgeous imprinted illustration of bees and honey: http://www.weddinginvitelove.com/profiles/dolce-letterpress/. I also love hand-drawn, purposefully messy designs, such as this one from Chewing the Cud: http://www.weddinginvitelove.com/profiles/chewing-the-cud/ What are your top tips for brides?
It'll be hard, but please don't stress! Weddings are about love and that should be the top focus — don't fret about the details and just focus on making it a happy, loving event. Don't listen to people who tell you what you should have or should do. It should be an event focused on *you* and your love! 
What do you think are key trends and popular with brides & grooms?

Ten Top Tips for Choosing Garters
1. Measure your thigh and order a garter that is made to fit you, order the size in which your leg is in the middle, if it is too tight, you will be uncomfortable, if it is too big, it will slip and fall off.
2. When choosing a garter, go for one that you love, if you love it you will wear it again.
3. For maximum comfort choose a garter in which the elastic is covered, this will be much more comfortable.
4. You may have to show it for photos, so wear it on your best leg.
5. Don't wear your garter too high, it may rub your inner thigh.
6. Don't wear your garter too low or it may slip off.
7. Fit your garter just above your knee, on the leg you find it most comfortable.
8. If you are going to toss your garter then, take care removing it, you want to save your underwear for your other half not your guests.
9. Add a little unique touch with a garter charm, these can be made to match your colours.
10. If you wish you can use your garter to sew your something old, new and blue on to,
