Proper wedding invitations are more essential than most couples think they are, because invitations set out the first impression to your guests.  Besides the date and time of the ceremony and reception, that tiny invitation card should also carry out information and let your guests know about the formality of your wedding, the color theme, who is hosting the party, etc.  There are endless etiquette when it comes to invitation cards; unfortunately, many couples tend to miss out on these little yet very important details.  When you don’t have a clue how to word your invitation and how the etiquette should be done, that’s when a wedding planner come in handy.

However, when the couple is speaking about the printing and design aspect of things, it is best to leave it with professional design and printing company.  For the brides and grooms who have done some research on invitation cards, you’d probably know there are many different types of printing options, such as: offset, foil stamping, digital and letterpress.  Among these options, letterpress is usually the most popular and it is being seen as the most gorgeous and luxurious of them all.

As classy and high end as the letterpress printing maybe, usually so does the price tag.  Luckily, there are printing and design companies out there who will not break your bank.  Yes, it is rare but they do exist!  Ajalon is one of the few who offers high quality printing and design with a happy handsome price.  If you can just imagine the use of handmade, tree free, and organic paper pairing up with letterpress printing that provides such crisp, great depth and beauty, it is nothing but pure perfection.

When it comes to wedding and its planning process, you think about the wedding gown, banquet venue, caterer, ceremony venue, photographer, make-up artist, hairstylist, and floral designer.  You see these as necessities for your wedding day, yet many people overlooked at the importance of hiring a wedding planner.

Wedding planner is often being seen as a luxurious item.  Most of you think only celebrities and rich people who have too much money to burn will hire certified wedding coordinators to plan their very special days.  If you are one of the many people who think that way, today is the time for you to rethink again!

Not only certified wedding coordinators can save you time by doing research, providing professional recommendations and narrowing down choices for you; we also reduce your stress level tremendously by coordinating vendors and solving all wedding related problems for you.  Most importantly and practically, the huge amount of money we can help you save is far greater than the wedding planner’s services.

Why?  Simple!  Getting married is a once in a lifetime event, vendors will be foolish to provide you with great discounts!  On the other hand, wedding planners are their VIP customers who bring them businesses frequently; therefore, we receive sweet deals and big discounts from vendors that normal people can’t get.  By helping you to save several hundreds here and couple thousands there, you can sit down and do the math, it actually costs less to hire a wedding planner than trying to plan a stressful wedding by yourself.

Gone are the days to think wedding planners are only for celebrities and royalties!  Regular couples who are living normal lives can also receive and certainly deserve such luxurious service at an affordable price.
