Lil’Guy Wedding Stationery
Kitty, owner and creator of 'Lil'Guy' Wedding Stationary - first started when planning her own wedding back in 2008. When she was completely unimpressed with the standard, lack of choice or even the cost of wedding stationary, she took it upon herself to create her own. After receiving plenty of praise for her creativity, she decided to launch www.lilguy.co.uk as a part time business alongside her day job.
Invitations are usually the first indication your guests will get as to what kind of a wedding you are having, whether it’s going to be a lavish formal occasion or a more relaxed one.
Kitty uses top quality and unusal boards, Grade A rhinestone buckles and embellishments, genuine Swarovski crystals, gorgeous ribbons and flowers to create different designs and styles, and it gives her great pleasure when couples receive their order and are thrilled with it! Which you can imagine after looking at her work.
Now Kitty runs her own business full time, no large company or franchise, you get her individual attention!

ADVICE FROM LIL'GUYS:
1. Make sure you book your stationer as soon as you know all the details as they do get booked up. Don’t leave things to the last minute as sometimes the embellishments can be out of stock and take a while to arrive.
2. Give your guests a deadline date to respond to (in a nice way!) as this gives you a timeline to work to. There are bound to be one or two guests who need to be ‘chivvied’ along, and your reception venue will also have a deadline for numbers.
3. If you’re having bespoke stationery chat to your stationer so that she can get a feel for your personality and style – and if the first draft isn’t quite to your liking don’t give up! Try to give as much information as possible to help the process along, if you don’t like diamante ribbon slides or butterflies then saying so at the offset really does help. Think about the style of card you would like – if you are going to be enclosing lots of additional information sheets then a wallet or pocket style is a good idea as all the information is kept together and doesn’t just fall out and get misplaced.
4. Having a colour scheme and/or theme for your day is very effective when taken through to place name cards, table plan and table name/number cards, menu cards, favours and post box for congratulations cards.
5. For a small additional charge many stationers will insert the guest names into the invitation which will save you time and also looks very stylish. You might also want to pay to have the envelopes addressed for you and have the invitation sent out. Whatever you decide to do, if there is ANY doubt regarding whether or not the made and sealed invitation needs to be sent as a large letter, pay the additional cost. It would be a false economy to have beautiful invitations only to have them held up in a sorting office – not to mention costly to sort the problem out!
