Invitations and Stationery
Wedding stationery here means a designer or a small press rather than a template site: save the dates, invitations, menus, place cards, signage and the thank-you cards afterwards. Letterpress, foil and hand calligraphy are all available and all priced accordingly. The Swiss complication is language, because a guest list split between three countries usually wants two versions of everything, and the good studios are used to setting that without it looking like a translation. Ask about print lead times, whether envelope addressing is included, and what postage will cost, since Swiss stamps for oversized cards add up quickly.
