Whether you know exactly what you want with your wedding invitations or have no clue where to begin, Broadway Paper’s comprehensive consultation process will easily guide you though it and give you a few added wedding tips.
Your first step when contacting Broadway Paper is setting up an hour and a half consult. This can be scheduled online and includes a brief questionnaire to gather information about your wedding and your invitation expectations.

Your consult starts with first talking about the details of your wedding. Your invite is often the first impression many of your guests experience about your wedding so Broadway Paper likes to give you options to allow you to have fun with your invites and be creative.
Your in-person consult often goes far beyond just invitations and is offered to all brides. Etiquette concerns, unique family situations, and even planning advice are provided as part of your consult as well. Have some tough questions? Don’t hesitate to ask them, these pros have seen and heard it all.
Place cards, programs and table numbers are all something the experts at Broadway Paper can help you with, making it a one stop shop for all things paper related for your wedding.
2. The Options
When Kate took over the store, one of her goals was to provide varying options for all brides. From those who love the romantic classic look of letterpress to the bride who wants the flexible economical approach of digital printing, they have it all.
Additionally, there are options available for even further customization. DIY creation help is available and included in your consult.
Custom Options
Custom options are probably the most fun to look through. There are many books of invitation suites to page through, but be careful, you may fall in love with so many of the gorgeous invitations it will be hard to pick just one.
Custom options include Letterpress, Engraved and Thermography. Each option has a high quality inventory to select from and are available in store for you to view, touch, feel and experience prior to settling in with your decision.
