Zazzle for Wedding Stationary and Planning Tips

Since becoming a designer for Zazzle, I discovered that this Print on Demand company has an extensive offering of all things “Wedding”. They are a wonderful source for ideas, but especially for getting exactly the wedding invitations and stationary needs you envision. Because there are so many choices, and because this is one of the choices of highest priority in your plans, this article gives some FAQ and general information to help make the process easy.

Easy FAQ Guide to Wedding Stationary

1. Who prints and ships your orders?  Zazzle handles all aspects of customer fulfillment. A designer creates the artwork designs and usually puts it into template form; although you can usually change most things on an invitation, et.al, the personalization is most often in the text used within the design
2. Who Do I Contact if I Make a Mistake?  As a designer, I often receive questions about orders. I always have to let inquirers know that only the staff at Zazzle can help them. If you initially make a mistake and know you want to change something, cancel your order and begin again with the design process. For more complicated issues, contact Zazzle help.
3. How Do I Cancel or Modify My Order?  Here is the help page for guiding you in the process of correcting mistakes, a list of Zazzleterms and conditions

Tips to Simplify Success for Your Wedding Invitations

Ordering just one invitation gives you the best way to see exactly how your finished product will look. It is an economical way to make the best choice- each invite costs just a few dollars usually.

Create an Amazon Wedding Registry

If you need immediate help- the site has chat and staff available to answer your questions and even guide you through the process. Plus, Zazzle offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Have an idea of the theme you wish to choose your designs from- there are literally thousands of possibilities in each theme. Rustic? Traditional? Watercolor? Seasonal? Colors?

Besides the decisions on a design, several shape variations, papers and finishes, even touches such as foils, are available.

Steps for Making the Most from Wedding Stationary Purchases

One purpose for choosing and organizing the invitation process early-on is to give your guest plenty of advance time to schedule their attendance. For this, “Save the Date” cards are sent a year in advance. This ensures that long-distance guests can make their travel plans, etc. These cards range from postcards (a popular, easy choice) to magnets, or any number of creative ideas that signal

Another purpose is setting the tone for your event. The colors and setting of your celebration, as well as the level of formality can all be presented by this first communication. The suite of stationary gives a follow-through glimpse of how special and anticipated the wedding day will be. I’m including some examples from the Zazzle site to illustrate some of the products available to the bride.

What are some other parts of the ensemble that are possible?

• The Invitation
• Rsvp cards and envelopes
• Enclosure cards such as “Details” or maps, etc
• Envelopes (be sure to have extra, in case of an address flub)
