Wedding Stationery
Save-the-dates for a destination wedding have to go out further ahead than for a local one, since guests are booking flights rather than clearing a Saturday, and a number of the designers here are used to working to that longer runway rather than a domestic one. Bilingual sets, English paired with German, French or Italian, come up often enough to count as a standard request rather than a special one, which suits a guest list split across languages. Beyond the invitation itself, most also design day-of items, menus, place cards and signage, as a matching set rather than pieces sourced separately.
