		<title>The RSVP Card</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Image via Wikipedia I feel like much of my job is matching a package to each bride&#8217;s level of budget and etiquette.  Those are two different variables, however.  I have many brides who are comfortable spending $10/card and many (most!) who want to spend $1/card; likewise many want to be as formal as the Queen [...]]]></description>

		<title>How much do invitations cost?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first time I wrote this article, the answer was as little as 55 cents, but definitely under a buck.  But the price of oil has affected the price of thinly sliced wood (paper), and so the answer is now &#8220;generally under 1.35 apiece.&#8221;  As always, threre&#8217;s a large variance based on how thick the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where do I start?  How do I choose?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Looking online or at huge binders of sample invitations can get really overwhelming.  Here are some tips to help you focus and enjoy the process: Go somewhere comfortable. Choose a quiet store where you&#8217;re welcome to sit on a couch and look at invitations for six hours in a row if you want to.  Don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Should I Buy Invitations Online?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By all means, buy your invitations online if you prefer that method.  However, never make a stationery purchase without touching and seeing an actual sample of the paper it will be printed on.  Photographs of samples may help you narrow your choices, but you won&#8217;t know the weight, texture, or true color of the paper [...]]]></description>

		<title>Picking an Ink Color</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most brides walk in the door assuming they&#8217;ll get black ink.  Most at some point in the process change their mind.  Every bride debates the same questions, and every bride comes to the same conclusions.  So let me save you some time taking you on their journey: First, colored ink isn&#8217;t really more expensive.  It [...]]]></description>

		<title>Registry Card or Not?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Registering is a standard part of today&#8217;s wedding.  Yet people who memorize rules still insist that doing so is tacky.  Or, often, that you can register, but you can&#8217;t tell anyone unless they really push you.  I personally am fine with little inserts (most of the time listed as Pew Cards at the printers) being [...]]]></description>

		<title>When to Order</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Order your invitations as soon as you have the information you need to print them, the earlier the better. Need a more specific answer?  Here are some factors to consider: Most invitations printers take between two and four weeks from the time they receive the order to the time it&#8217;s delivered, but they don&#8217;t guarantee [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Square Wedding Invitations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing I like to do at restaurants is ask the waitress which items everyone loves, but no one gets.  It&#8217;s an odd question, but everyone who works in any branch of customer service can answer it.  For invitations, it&#8217;s square wedding invitations.  As each bride works her way down to a top 10 list [...]]]></description>
