There are many things to mull over when choosing paper and card stock.  Your theme will help you to choose colours patterns or imagery.  You also need to think about the heaviness or thickness (gsm) of the paper or card.  Card and paper weight is measured by ‘gsm’, the higher the number the thicker the card.  To give you an idea regular copy paper is 80gsm.

This one doesn't always come easy. Especially for a wedding invitation! Luckily for you we have a FREE wording gallery to help you out with this! Check out my section on invitation wording to help get you started. You can use my wording exactly as it is, or mix and match to create exactly what you are looking for!

This is a very important step to card making.  The crisp look of printed words is generally better than hand writing handwriting unless you have access to a calligrapher.  All our stationery comes with easy print wording templates, then, all you have to do is select the font for your wording.  The font you choose should also match the theme of your hiPP invitation and stationery.

Finishing Touches, adding your final embellishments and creativity.  Select and address the matching envelope.  Done!
