Today we’re talking with a really neat vendor, Forever Fiances, about their ecologically conscious stationery and what advice they have for engaged couples searching for paper products for their wedding:
Rustic: Where are you located?
FF: We are located in sunny San Diego, California.
Rustic: When did you begin working in the wedding industry?
FF: We launched in early 2008 and quickly became the reference worldwide for plantable wedding invitations.
Rustic: What types of products do you offer?
FF: We offer beautiful 100% recycled papers, with full wedding suites including Invitations, response cards, inserts, thank you notes, place cards, menus, programs, favors, and more! We do not just stick to weddings; we have branched out into the Business industry with Green Business Print. Offering plantable business cards, event invitations, business thank you cards, holiday greeting cards and other business stationery needs, we are your one stop shop! As we continue to expand we have launched EternalMitzvah.com for our Jewish friends with children celebrating their Bar and Bat Mitzvahs.
Rustic: What makes your business unique?
FF: Our invitations are really one of a kind because they are fully customizable with your own text, colors, fonts, and paper choices. We can create matching stationery for any design you see on our website. What’s even better is our custom printing options or your DIY section. We sell plain sheets of our plantable paper and also allow you to submit your own artwork and we will print it for you! Our print and paper quality are top notch and we take pride in every order we print.
Most important is our handmade plantable paper, embedded with wildflower or garden herb seeds (White, Bright Green, and Desert Brown). We offer a great selection of colors for the plantable paper and have something for everyone! Our Seal n Send invitations feature an exceptional format, containing four flaps that folds into one sealed card, ready for mailing. These All-in-One wedding invitations include a detachable RSVP postcard (for your guests to send back). Once sealed the invitation can be mailed without envelopes for the price of an hand-stamp. Exquisitely crafted with our finest 100% recycled papers, made with carbon neutral energy. We love the environment and want to reduce our footprint and only use 100% recycled papers and envelopes. We print with soy based inks and recycle packing materials and boxes to be as Eco-friendly as possible.
Rustic: What is one piece of advice you would offer to engaged couples when they are searching for vendors? or when they are choosing between products on your website?
FF: Our one piece of advice to engaged couples planning their wedding when it comes to vendors is never settle. This is going to be one of the happiest and most memorable days of your lives so be sure to find exactly what you want to reflect your personal touch. You want your guests to remember this day too! If you find a few things you like on our website but are having a hard time narrowing it down, please let us know! We have combined two designs into one for certain clients and you are no exception. We want every experience to be personal, positive, and we want to help create your perfect wedding invitations!
If you cannot find the perfect design (among hundred of designs) just let us know what you have in mind. Our in-house design team would be proud to create your very own custom design (small fee may apply). Email us your theme, colors and the general feel of your wedding.
Rustic: Is there anything else you would like to tell our readers?
FF: Our design team takes great pride in preparing your digital proofs. Unlike other websites with “fancy” computer generated algorithms that spit out your text in set format, we will review your text and take care of the spacing, format, fonts, review wedding etiquette. You can count on our expertise.
Also we’ve been working on an application that lets you preview fonts and colors! 90% of our designs can be entirely customized. This means colors, text, fonts and papers. Tree Themes are our specialty 😉
Thank you so much Forever Fiances for sharing what makes your business so unique. To see more of their beautiful designs visit their Rustic Wedding Invitations page.
