GREENVELOPE

The last thing couples in the midst of wedding planning need is uncertainty. Yet, that’s precisely what paper invitations can introduce to the planning process. 

For example, Has my invitation even reached the recipient? is a question you don’t want to be asking yourself as the RSVP date closes in. Beyond the uncertainty, there’s the issue of cost. Even if you 

went the “affordable” route, paper invitations and the postage required to send them can be expensive.   

If despite the risks you feel certain about opting for the paper invitation route, it’s best to set your budget beforehand. You’ll also likely need to cast a wide net in order to find the perfect design at the right price. 

But, there’s an option that you may not have considered yet -- an option that sacrifices nothing when it comes to elegance, but saves you time and money while keeping you up to date on who receives your wedding invitation, when, and what they do with it. 

The option I’m describing is online wedding invitations. And the company that best takes care of planning couples is Greenvelope. 

Greenvelope’s RSVP tracking tools are unmatched. Seriously. Upload your contact list and send an invite, and you’ll see that Greenvelope breaks things down in such a simple way: you can see at any 

time how many invites were sent, to whom, and who has or hasn’t opened it. Someone has opened it but has not RSVP'd?  Easy- using your Greenvelope account, you can start a conversation with them.  I really can't stress this enough: the whole thing is so easy to use.  If you ever run into trouble, though,  Greenvelope's customer service team is amazingly kind and responsive.  You actually get to talk to a human!

The icing on the cake for me when it comes to Greenvelope, though, is how gorgeous their invitation designs are.  For instance, they just released a new collection of designs inspired by the bright, energetic and eclectic floral arrangements or Manu Torres. 

You have to see how vibrant these designs are!  There are ten designs in all and each one is so expressive and unique.

I especially love how Greenvelope’s designers decided to use colors throughout the arrangements, and that there are multiple options for each design so that, if you’re looking for a palette that’s more 

muted, you can still get exactly what you want.

CALLING ALL BRIDES

When a bride comes to me for help planning her wedding, she puts a trust in me that matters.  This is a huge day in her life and the lives of her family, friends- and let's not forget the groom.  So, I take my job very seriously and I make sure that I give her honest, informed and sincere advice, referrals and assistance, from beginning to end.  

 

That being said, some brides aren't ready to hire a planner or don't think they need or can afford one.  For those brides, I am now offering a new service.  

 For these brides, a phone consult on their time, for an affordable price, can bridge the gap between figuring it out on their own and being overwhelmed and getting affordable advice from a real expert without a huge investment in time and money.

 It's easy to do.  Just email me- wendyangell@gmail.com,and
 let me know when you would like to chat and your phone number. No sales pitch, no pressure.  Just real advice from a real planner at a convenient time.  So, get out your wedding notebook and relax.  

Looking forward to hearing your questions.

ITS BEEN A LONG TIME

It's been a long time since my last post.  Family and life have preoccupied me, but weddings are still my focus.  There have been some, really great ones, that I didn't write about.  Sad, because they were awesome.  But, I'm back with some new things coming to the business.  Can't wait to be able to share!  In the meantime, there are lots of beautiful weddings here, plenty of good advice and, of course, the link to my email for all of your questions.
