Invitation Text
The text and wording for your wedding invitation may take longer than you think to figure out.
The amount of text on the invitation impacts how Rachel lays out the design and what fonts look best. Even if your words are not set in stone, getting a jump start on a draft helps both Rachel and yourself be able to visualize how much text there will be on your invite as drafts are in progress.
