Every wedding begins with a simple yes<\/em>.<\/p>\n

No, we’re not referring to the big yes that usually gets all of the attention. Instead, we’re talking about saying yes<\/em> to your wedding invitations<\/a>. That first step toward a happily ever after begins the cascade of moments and decisions and planning that eventually culminate into your wedding day.<\/p>\n

So, no pressure, but your wedding invitations<\/a> are kind of a big deal! While save-the-dates are a little bit more casual, your wedding invitation is the first place you see your color scheme and aesthetic theme come to life. Each frill and fluff of your decor<\/a>, floral arrangements<\/a>, and wedding party attire<\/a> will follow in suit (pun intended) with the vibe you set with your wedding invitations.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, it becomes less and less tempting to jump on board the trend of ordering your paper goods online. Despite how customizable and unique most chain websites claim to be, the designs remain in circulation for thousands of engaged couples across the country. Not to mention, when ordering invitations online, there’s rarely an opportunity to feel the paper, see the print quality, and talk through your questions and concerns in person with a paper expert<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Which is why we always have and always will recommend ditching the faceless monotony of mass produced goods and, instead, support the local small businesses<\/a> who have dedicated their passion and talent to their community. Like Pennysmiths Paper<\/a>!<\/p>\n

For 40 years now, Pennysmiths Paper<\/a> has been serving New Mexico weddings — but their team will tell you, often out-of-state couples will fly in just to have their invitations and stationery designed by the Pennysmiths<\/a> team. We’re not surprised by that though, considering their free one-hour consultation<\/strong> policy, hundreds of happy couples, and meticulous attention to detail.<\/p>\n

From the first whisper of a celebration, to the final moments of your wedding day, Pennysmiths Paper<\/a> has the stationery and invitations to set the tone and supplement your decor. Because it’s never too early to get started on your first step of wedding planning, you can get connected with a paper design expert from the Pennysmiths<\/a> team here.<\/p>\n
