How to Choose the Right Luxury Invitation for Your Wedding
Selecting your invitation is a process. Here are steps and tips to guide decision- making.
1. Define Your Wedding Vision

Work with the design team to incorporate your story. Monograms, custom motifs, or wedding symbols (florals, heraldry, patterns meaningful to you) make the invitation uniquely yours.

A luxury invitation suite is more than the main card. Consider coordinating:
- RSVP / reply cards
- Maps / direction cards
- Reception cards
- Details or registry cards
- Envelope liners and seals
All these pieces should harmonize visually and texturally.
