If you ask me about my favorite part of our wedding, I would say it was the details. Every detail of our wedding was perfect. The months of planning and overthinking every single decision were completely worth it when we got our wedding photos back and I could see what we created together.
Wedding invitations set the tone of a wedding and I wanted a classic, traditional wedding with a luxury feel. I looked at dozens of options from different companies trying to find the one I wanted but nothing stood out to me. Finally, I came across an invitation that made me stop and immediately I knew… it was the one!
We went with Shine Wedding Invitations in the end. I ordered sample invitations from different companies but kept comparing them to the paper quality at Shine Wedding. We sat down and did the math and decided that we were only doing this getting married thing once and wanted the best, Shine.

Ordering online was easy with their user-friendly website that asked all the questions to fill out. That information then went to the artist who designed our wedding invitations who did a mock-up of what they would like us and then emailed us a PDF of what they would look like. Since we were working with a real artist, we were able to get amazing customer service and she was able to point things out that we would not have noticed if we just used a template like other companies. Working with Shine gave me a peace of mind knowing that our invitation were in good hands and they would come out perfectly.

To save some money, we ordered our own vellum paper and wax for the seals on Amazon. We spent a whole day assembling invitations and had an assembly line for Jacob to add a wax seal to each invitation.

Ed also participated and inspected every single one to make sure they were good to mail out!
