Brides- Wedding Invitations, Etiquette, Stationery and More at The Cordial Cricket in Richmond VA

We Create Event Anticipation…For Your Special Day

Conveniently located on the south side and West End of Richmond, Virginia as well as downtown Charleston, South Carolina, we enjoy helping brides from all over the southeast find their perfect save the dates, wedding invitations, stationery and wedding gifts.

We carry many wedding stationery and invitation lines from venerable companies such as: Crane & Co., Checkerboard, Designers’ Fine Press, Wiley Valentine, Carlson Craft, PaperFreckles, Lilywillow Press, Studio R, Page Stationery, and Tag & Company as well as custom invitation designs from Envelopments.

We would love to work with you on your wedding stationery, everything from your Save the Dates to your invitations, programs, menu cards, place cards and more! Here’s what just one of our brides had to say about working with us:

“I recently purchased my wedding invitations from the Cordial Cricket and was amazed at the attention to detail that was displayed by Elizabeth and her staff throughout the whole process. Of the many wedding details, the invitations were one of the few things for which I didn’t not already have a specific vision in mind before I began my search. The day I went to The Cordial Cricket, one of their knowledgable consultants sat down with me and helped me mentally sort through my ideas before we tackled the process of going through the sample books so that by the time I actually looked at samples, I was feeling much less overwhelmed and could enjoy myself. When it came to actually ordering the invitations, their knowledge of wedding etiquette was invaluable. The proofs were gotten to me quickly and they did a wonderful job in facilitating any changes that needed to be made. Professionalism was exhibited along every step of the process. Finally, on of the most important things to me was the attitude of the staff. I have quickly learned through the wedding planning process that the mere mention of the word “wedding” results in pushy sales pitches and feel that many times the bride’s wishes are lost as everybody weighs in the their own ideas and opinions. From the very beginning of my meeting at The Cordial Cricket I could tell that they would be there to guide me towards finding my perfect wedding invitation rather than pushing me towards something that ultimately wasn’t me. I would highly recommend The Cordial Cricket to anybody planning a wedding or any other special event.” ~Katie M.

“The Cordial Cricket had the best selection of wedding invitations, save the dates, bridal shower invites, and thank you notes. They also have offer in house Wedding Coordination & Consulting services, which are highly recommended as the best in the area. Once meeting with Jennifer, I knew those recommendations were spot on! I hired Jennifer immediately and it was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. My wedding day ran very smoothly and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. I highly recommend The Cordial Cricket for all your invitation needs as well as Jennifer for your wedding day coordination….” ~ Stephanie J.
