~Words of Kindness~
I have received SO MANY
compliments on your invitation! In fact, so many of my friends and my
parents' friends have said that ours is the BEST wedding invitation that
they have EVER seen. They
said that it is so beautiful, elegant, simple, and classy. I think we
won for "best invitation"!
(And we have YOU to thank for all the accolades.) Thank you for making
us look so good!"
Best,
Michelle M. Gu
"Hi Lenila,
I had meant to send this e-mail as soon
as I got the invitations, but with all this wedding planning time has
gotten away from me.
Needless to say I received the wedding invitations and guest book in
perfect order. I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you that
everything was absolutely beautiful!
I cried when I saw them...the care that you and your staff put into the
invitations (and even packaging) really comes through in your work.
I was taken back by how beautiful the invitations and guest book were.
My fiance and I had searched extensively for the perfect invitations for
the relaxed yet elegant beach wedding we envisioned.
Your invitations truly captured the spirit of our vision for our wedding
and for that I am truly thankful.
I just sent them out and am expecting to get all kinds of compliments as
people receive them. Keep on doing what you do!"
Thanks,
Amanda
It has been fun listening to stories
of future clients bumping into past clients in the Bahamas with rave
reviews of our creations!
Thank you to my many wonderful clients that have been so happy with
their invites...you destination and beach brides are truly sweet and
easy to work with!
Ideas~ On the reply card, you can ask
your guests to write in their favorite song and during the reception you
can play their songs
interspersed with your play list! Puts everyone in a great
mood!
Want a greener wedding?
Opt to use an email address or website for your guests to RSVP to
instead of using more paper with the reply cards and envelopes!
All our paper is made from companies that utilize 100% wind power
and is 30% post recycled paper. Our labels and seals are 100% recycled
paper.
Our mulberry paper is made from the Saa tree in Thailand, a very fast
growing plant in which just the bark is removed leaving the plant to
continue growing.
The organic sinamay material is made from palm tree fibers. We,
here at Designs by Lenila, strive to be as green and eco-friendly as
possible.
Destination Wedding Tips from
brides themselves:
!. Try not to use too many different vendors. Have each vendor handle
more responsibilities. It will be much easier!
2. A wedding planner could be helpful as long as they share the same
vision as you. And on the day of the wedding, they can oversee things,
but make sure they let
the vendors do their job.
3. If possible, hire out everything. DIY tasks are time-consuming.
4. Provide lots of pictures for your vendors, so that you can
communicate your vision via email.
5. Do as much as possible, because there will always be more to do right
before your wedding day!
6. Take care of your guests since they will most likely be making your
wedding trip their vacation.
Until next time when we talk about
your invitation to paradise,
xox,
Lenila
