Invitations: Snowbird Design by Ashley Snow

Wedding invitations can be so daunting. Do you want store box or standard printed or custom? Do you want color or plain? Do you want flat or texture? So many options!

My friend Ashley Snow at Snowbird Design does custom invitations --for weddings, and bridal showers and rehearsal dinners and any other occasion you might need an invitation to. 
Ashley has been designing since college. She started by doing invitations for bridal showers and lingerie shower that she was helping to host and then it blossomed into getting orders from friends for weddings, showers and birthday parties. After she had her sweet baby and became a stay-at-home mom she decided to keeping designing and now continues to create custom work. What better way than by getting to do something you love. 

Ashley can do as little or as much as you need. If you need everything: save the date cards, wedding invitations, wedding inserts, programs, menu cards, name place cards, rehearsal dinner invites, thank you cards -- she can do it all. Or if you just want one of any of the above, she can do that too. The more you do, the more time you may need. Ashley really takes the time to get to know what you want and will make sure that you are happy with your design. 

I asked her how far in advance she needs to be able to create wedding invitations. She said, "Ideally, a month to two months before the date you want to put the invitations in the mail." (If you are a procrastinator,  she can always put a rush on an order for an extra charge.) She gives plenty of time for printing and shipping.
Another great thing you get with Ashley is that you can order as many or as few items as you need. 

Does she print the invitations or just send electronic templates? She does both! 
When she was planning her wedding, she was trying to keep things within a budget and quickly realized that invitations are one of the biggest expenses you can have. Ashley takes pride in making custom invitations that  dont break your budget. She offers a variety of services so your are sure to find one that fits in within your budget. 

I asked was there any thing else a new bride might need to know about Snowbird Designs? 

"I love having your thoughts and an idea on the overall look you are going for. If you see things you like, or have pictures or pieces of inspiration for your wedding, those are great things to share with me so I can design something that fits you and your wedding perfectly.

I have also done a lot of shower invitations, rehearsal dinner invitations, and bachelor/bachelorette party invitations-so don’t forget about those when you are doing your planning!"
