The MVP (Minimum Viable Product) for this idea should focus on key expectations of your target audience—engaged couples seeking something distinctive and tailored for their special day. Ensuring that you provide a superior customer journey from initial contact to delivery is essential, especially when dealing with emotionally charged purchases like wedding stationery. Consider prioritizing customer experience, unique design offerings, and production quality as the cornerstones of this initial launch.
