Wedding Wire - Your One-Stop Shop to Wedding Planning on a Budget


La Design Boutique is proud to be a member of Wedding Wire, a website that has all the resources you need to plan your perfect Wedding. Best of all, they just partnered up with Project Wedding, making it sure that they are the leader in featuring the most renown vendors in the industry. Please go there and visit our Storefront and read what our customers have said about us.

If you have been one of our clients, we would truly appreciate a review from you as well. Getting reviews from our clients is so important and your review is a great way to help other couples choose their vendors. It is a huge industry out there and there are endless decisions to be made. Wedding Wire is the most ideal place to start your planning.

Best of all, they provide you with a free wedding website. In this day and age, more couples are creating their own wedding websites with all their information and a convenient avenue for their friends and family. Even for those who are not as computer-savvy, just with a couple clicks of the mouse, you have a professional and detailed website. You can put your wedding registry here, guestbook, pictures, bridal party, and more! The thing we like the most about it is that it sets the mood for the upcoming wedding. Guests can go there and read about the couple, learn more about their story and proposal, see pictures and grow a stronger sentiment for the couple. We are all about setting the mood and we absolutely love it!

One other great perk about a wedding website is that it helps couples on a budget as well! You may not realize, but you can cut so many costs. For example, for those out of town guests, instead of printing an additional insert card for your invitations, all you need to do is put your wedding website on the invitation so that all the additional information like hotels and directions can be found on the website. You can also have your guests RSVP to you on there as well.

There are many other websites like Wedding Wire and Project Wedding out there, but these are the two that La Design Boutique vouch by and are impressed by the amount of information and quality vendors that are available. Check it out now!

Style Me a Princess and Color Me Pink


We just created the cutest and most fun Birthday Invitations for two sisters and their upcoming birthday party. Their only requests were that they wanted a princess/royal theme with pink and green colors and basically just really girly! So you can see what we came up with above! The best part about it, they absolutely loved it!

We thought the fireworks with their names and ages was a nice touch and this was different and unique from the normal Disney Princesses generic invitations.

What do you think of them? Let us help you design your kid's Birthday Party to make them feel even more special and have their friends squealing with glee.

Invitations on a Budget


One of the biggest issues in wedding planning is staying within budget. It is so difficult to try to find everything you love at an affordable price. Well, here at La Design Boutique, you have found your one-stop shop for invitations! We give you everything you want, at the price you want, without compromising style and quality. We understand how much money goes into a wedding, especially with the economic crisis we are in, and we will do whatever we can to stay within your budget! We have so many different DIY options as well to save even more money!

One of the many different ways you can save money on your invitations is making your RSVP Card a Postcard. This will save money on an Envelope as well as extra postage. Postcards cost $0.28 to send rather than $0.44 for a regular letter. Postcards can range in a couple sizes from 4”x6”, 3.5”x5”, 4”x5”, etc. (The required specifications for a postcard are listed below.) An RSVP Envelope can cost anywhere between $0.10 to $0.40. You do the math! This is one of many ideas we can share with you… Email us now to explore the possibilities! We would love to be a part of this special time for you.

Dimension Minimum Maximum
Height 3 ½ inches 4 ¼ inches
Length 5 inches 6 inches
Weight 0.007 inch 0.016 inch

- Any item smaller than the minimum dimensions is not mailable
- For postcards, length is the dimension parallel to the address
- Postcards must be rectangular and be made of unfolded and uncreased paper or cardstock.
