Where to start on setting up a wedding invitation business

[Pretty Shabby UK]

Hi,

I have been a general crafter for ages, but i would like to get into wedding stationery.

I have a list of stationery that i think people would require

save the date
day invites
evening invites
order of service
thank yous
menu
place cards
table numbers
favour boxes
RSVP


Maybe start looking into doing when i advance a bit.
Guest books
table plans


How do you start getting involved. I am looking at getting my collections together now for the summer, so i can start doing fayres. But what do i need to look out for?

It also ties in with my university business course, starting up a business :)

Any advice welcome and most appreciated.

buy a load of wedding magazines, visit as many wedding fairs as you can right now as it is wedding fair season, have a look at how stands are set out and what people are selling now. Read the magazines and look at wedding forums for trends.

good luck

I agree with GBELL. You need to get lot of magazines and you will get lot of information. Good Luck!
