I’m so excited to share with you my latest Facebook Live with the incredible Jack McGinnigal of luxury design and print studio EYI Love. EYI Love, which Jack runs with his wife Lorna, have been translating their respective engineering and fashion backgrounds into memorable, modern stationery design since 2010. They adore Jewish weddings, and work with Jewish couples all over the world from their home base in Glasgow – including many happy STG brides!

Jack and I chatted about all things Jewish wedding stationery, from timings to aesthetics, and if I say so myself we created some excellent content. If you’ve still got decisions about wedding stationery to make, this Live is truly not to be missed.

Paper Wedding Stationery vs Digital Invitations – Which Should You Choose?

26/07/2018 by Smashing The Glass

Invitations: Greenvelope.com | @Greenvelope

Here at Smashing The Glass we are HUGE fans of great design and beautiful typography so it will come as no surprise to you that we LOVE wedding invitations — paper and digital — with equal measure.

Both options have their share of pros and cons, and sometimes the answer isn’t as straightforward as you’d think. In fact, there isn’t a right answer at all. Ultimately, you just need to weigh what details and features make sense for you as a couple.

So today we’ve asked our wonderful friends at Greenvelope to highlight several points to help determine if digital or paper invitations are right for you.

(And by the way this is in NO WAY a promoted post – we love digital and paper stationery in equal measure – and wanted to create a post to help you decide which option might be right for you as a couple!).

Let us know what you’re going for in the comments below.
