Laser Cut Wedding Invitations and Made in America Products
The above design is available for purchase at www.sofiainvitations.etsy.com
Laser cut wedding invitations are a hot trend in 2016. Here at Sofia Invitations, we have been designing and making laser cut invitations for 3 years. We have learned many things about this market, and hope to give you some advice for your consideration when purchasing a laser cut invitation (or any stationery items that are of value)
Let’s talk about “Made in America” products:
WHY SHOULD “MADE IN AMERICA” MATTER TO YOU?
YOUR WEDDING DAY:
Let’s start off by acknowledging that your wedding day is a very important day to you. You may have been thinking about this day for years, and possibly planning it for over one year. And you probably realize that many things could go wrong with your wedding day, some of which you may take with a grain of salt (my wedding cake turned out awful, but we made a good laugh out of it).
Keeping this in mind, I do not recommend gambling on purchasing wedding invitations or other paper goods (such as laser cut favor boxes for example) from a country that does not speak your native language. You never know what could go wrong with communication. You want to be sure you will receive your product on time, and you will get what you ordered!
THE BEST DESIGNS:
I believe the best, most creative, top notch designs and craftsmanship will always be from our wonderful country, America. We have the best designs schools here, and I am proud to say I graduated from one of them….Rhode Island School of Design
CUSTOMER SERVICE:
A MADE IN AMERICA company can give you THE BEST attention when ordering your products, especially for custom designs. No one else can communicate with you and understand you better, than a company here in America.
SUPPORTING OUR COUNTRY:
And finally….. wouldn’t you prefer to support our country? Keep the jobs here. By purchasing a product made in America, you are supporting an individual or family. And we thank you for that!
FOREIGN PRODUCTS ON ETSY:
Etsy has MANY sellers that are not producing their products in America. Do not be fooled by low prices. Do your homework, and make sure you know where your invitations or other items are being made before you buy them.
We hope this little bit of information helps you when you are doing your research for wedding invitations, or other products for your special day!

Hot Pink Wedding Color Inspiration
So you’re having trouble putting together a color palette for your wedding. You want
something flirty, fun, but at the same time classy and feminine. So why not go with
hot pink? Now I know when you think of the word classy – hot pink is not the first color that comes to mind, but hot pink can give a wedding a bold statement while at the same time adding a classy touch to it with gold, light gray, and blush accents.
The nice thing about a hot pink color palette is that it can go along with several wedding
themes – rustic country chic, vintage, city chic, and so many others! Hot pink can be very bold…so it’s important to add necessary touches to make your wedding look naturally elegant – for example, you can add pearl earrings to the look to give your bridesmaids a more vintage look. Another way to tone down the bright, vivid color is to add subtle accents such as – light gray, blush pink, and a soft gold.
