Stationery for Every Occasion

Personalized Stationery

In-store stationery can be purchased with the assistance of on-site consultants, who will help you navigate the various template designs. Many retailers offer free proofs so you can catch mistakes; others charge $5 to $20 per proof. Be sure to ask for a few extra envelopes (in case you make an error when addressing).
 
Online stationery often comes in styles your neighborhood shop may not carry. After choosing a pattern, type in your wording (before you hit "Purchase," make sure to spell-check). If you're worried about judging colors on-screen, request paper-and-ink samples; many companies will send them for free. If you'd like to do the printing yourself, opt for imprintables (sold at many online outlets), which are blank, predesigned invitations that can be made at home on your computer and printer.
