Wedding Industry

Thanks for the guest post by Donn Schroeder

Weddings are a huge industry and when I got out of school I knew I needed to capitalize on it. I was big into graphic design at the time so I started playing around with things like placecards and invitations and save the dates. People my age really love all the cool graphic design stuff you see when you go on Etsy and other sites – it works well for me because I’m not all about the traditional stuff anyway. So I got hooked up with bank card processing so I could take credit card payments and I started making my friends’ wedding invitations and stuff like that. I can’t imagine why people pay so much for these things but they do and you know, at the end of the day I’m only here to make a product. It’s great because I pay my bills and I get to be creative, too, so I don’t really feel bad about charging a premium. Weddings are a rip off no matter where you cut corners so you may as well go all out!
