Invitation Timeline and Tips

Oh So Swank is the place to go for all of your invitiation needs!  Here are some tips and tricks of the invitation trade to keep in mind while planning your next event.

TIMELINE

The timeline below can be used as an informational guide on the Oh So Swank! invitation order process. However, starting early is always a good policy to go by.

7-8 months in advance- Begin the invitation suite design process
- Order your the save the date announcements
- Create your guest list, this will determine your order quantity

4-6 months in advance- Mail your save the date announcements
- Submit your invitation suite proof wording
- Finalize your invitation suite proofs

3 months in advance- Order your invitation suite
- 6-8 weeks in advance
- Mail your event invitations

2-3 weeks in advance- Follow up with your guests that have not responded with their RSVP, or let Oh So Swank! take care of this for you with personalized RSVP Management services

TIPS

Proof read everything (including design components, spelling, names and grammar) very carefully before approving your proof for printing. Once your approved proof has been submitted to Oh So Swank! the stationery pieces go straight to print.

Starting early is a good rule to live by, especially if you’re having a destination event. Once you have booked your venue and secured your date, you are ready to get started on the invitation suite design process. This will avoid any rush charges and undue stress in the long run.

We recommend that you order 5-10 extra invitation packages to accommodate any last minute additions to your guest list and allow extras for keepsakes. It is more cost effective to order those extra sets now, than incur the extreme cost of reprints later.

When creating your guest list, remember the following guidelines: married couples receive one invitation, families with children also receive one invitation, families with children over the age of 16 receive their own invitation, and etiquette states that you should accommodate an additional guest for each single guest you are inviting. Also, always remember to include the couple, bridal party members and all parents on the guest list as these very important people are frequently forgotten.

Start building your guest list as soon as possible, making sure that all names and addresses are spelled correctly. Remember that all street names “Ten”, all street descriptors (avenue, street, boulevard, etc.), and state names should be spelled out.

History

Oh So Swank! by Watermark Events, Inc. is the realized dream of a Fresno native’s entrepreneurial spirit. Tina Moran, a Clovis West High graduate, began her graphic design career in 1988 and studied her field in college at the University of Minnesota. Tina, who has a passion for perfection, creative spirit, natural energy and a love for her job, started this company in April of 1994 primarily as a graphic design business. However, after devoting many hours of pro-bono work with the Fresno area chambers, Tina felt that there was something to be said for her event planning and design abilities.

In 1996, Tina changed the name of her business to Watermark Design & Event Planning and began concentrating on the event planning aspects while still offering the design services the company had come to be known for. With little advertising, Tina grew her business on her customer service skills and client referrals, into a flourishing business and, in 2002 Watermark Events was born.

 In 2005, with demand for local valet parking services on the upswing, Watermark Events became incorporated and expanded to include all the services offered by the company today.

In August of 2006, Watermark Events, Inc. was set to expand once again. After speaking with hundreds of the area’s brides, Tina felt that Fresno was ready for a boutique where bride’s and party hosts alike could find unique items to compliment their tastes. Oh So Swank!, the area’s finest special event gift & accessory boutique, offers our clients fun and unique gifts and accessories for bridal events.

Oh So Swank! has expanded, once again. As of August 2009, Oh So Swank! is offering bridal gowns from several renowned bridal gown and bridesmaid dress designers. We have added to our inventory of fashionable bridal accessories to include: head pieces and tiaras, veils, jewelry, undergarments and much more. Call today to schedule your appointment.

With over 18 years in the industry and their ability to incorporate all the latest event trends, Oh So Swank! is an obvious choice for any discerning client looking for knowledgeable, creative and savvy event coordinators and designers.
