Couples nowadays are paying more attention to the wedding invitation. It is very true that the invitations are very important although the cost of them will only be a fraction of your other wedding items. As a result, you will need to choose the vendor carefully. You should never choose based merely on the price of then. Here is a case study about choosing wedding invitations and you should be able to learn something from this case study.
There was a couple who was trying to search for some vendors of wedding invitations on the internet. They would like to put their portraits on the cards. As a result, they tried to search for that and they had eventually found a company which would help them to draw the portraits as well as print the invitations.

The shop was not an online shop. The couple decided to discuss with the shop and as a consequence they made an appointment with the shop and visited the shop one day. To their surprise, they found that it was not really a shop or an office. The owner of the business was renting a table from another shop and started the business.
Although the couple found that it was a bit strange, they still decided to give it a try. It was because there was a full money back guarantee. And there was also a 30 discount. This was really attractive because wedding is something very expensive.
However, there were a lot of problems after they had paid the deposit. When they received the email about the invitation design from the shop, they found that the portrait was not drawn according to their photos. It was just the same as other designs from the shop. At this point, the couple remembered that there was a full money back guarantee and they asked for a refund.
The shop owner lost temper when the couple asked for the refund. Though the couple could get the refund after discussing with the owner for a few times, they have already wasted some time. The experience was really bad!
From the above case study, you will probably understand that why it is so important to choose a good wedding invitation vendor. The point here is that you should never trust the vendor if they can give you a discount which is too good to be true. No company will give such a discount if they have the confidence in their work!
I myself have a friend who works as a wedding invitation designer. As far as I know, she will never give discount to the clients. This is because she has full confidence in her work and she understand that her works are worth the price.
Of course you should trust the designer or vendor when you order from them. However, you still have to be very careful. The best situation is that you can gather some information about the reputation of the company. Though it will require you to spend some time, it will be better than having a bad experience after you have ordered!
