Your wishlist, before you talk to anyone
Questions you can answer early — they become the yardstick you compare candidates against.
What look are you picturing for the suite?
Any printing method you have your heart set on?
Wishlist mirror of the printing_method candidate fact — compare what each stationer offers against it.
Which pieces are you hoping to include?
Wishlist mirror of suite_pieces — the scope each stationer quotes against.
What to ask each candidate
Facts that differ from one vendor to the next — worth writing down while you shop.
Which pieces are in the suite?
How is the suite printed?
Specialty methods (letterpress, foil, engraving) usually carry longer turnaround — the order-by date accounts for it.
How are envelopes addressed?
What settles once booked
The working details you and your vendor pin down together.
How many suites?
DERIVED. One suite per household, never per guest — the most common over-order.
Wording and details
Host line, names as printed, dress code, website — everything the printed piece must carry.
How it’s usually priced
Usually priced per household.
Lines that sometimes ride along: Postage, Envelope addressing, Design / customization fee.
What your vendor reads from your plan
Book on or off Beetrothed — either way the plan assembles a brief your vendor can work from: the event, the suite, quantities, key dates, contacts.
