Preparing for the big day is overwhelming, and it can leave you feeling all sorts of emotions. From wedding cake to dress to the reception area and everything in between, making these big decisions can spark the anxiety of anyone. But lucky for you, we have got you covered with one aspect of the wedding which is invitations.
Many people are
confused about what to write in the cards and which style to choose. There are
many details which go into the invitations. And since invitations have to go to
the guests, it is the first impression they will have on your wedding. This
shows how crucial it is. If you are looking for the best tips to create a
dreamy invitation, keep reading!
Embrace your wedding
style
The wedding style
depends on the level of formality. If your wedding is contemporary, casual, and
modern, then the invite should be glam as well to match the theme of the
wedding and vice versa. The stationery to write down the wedding cards will be
based on the theme too, which can be searched online.
Stay aligned with
your budget
The cost of each invitation can go from $1 to $100 depending on all the parts that go into it. Decorations and custom designing are pricey, and if you add it to ink, printing, typeface, and quantity, the overall procedure will be expensive. So stick to your budget and priorities. Broad choices are elegant printing, multiple closures and custom designing.
Select the paper
Three different
papers are the most common in invitation papers; cotton, heavy card stock, and
vellum. The second option remains durable in the delivery and is available in
different colors. Cotton is expensive, but it remains the same for years, which
means you can keep it safe. Vellum is transparent, and it's the best for direct
printing.
Promote simplicity
The more simple an
invitation looks, the more appealing it will be to the eyes. It becomes easy to
read, as well. Only mention the most important details which consist of the
people who are hosting the wedding, wedding date, area of the ceremony, the
names of the couple, time, and the reception to follow.
Set the tone with the
best wording
The wording is the actual substance matter of the invitation. The words should be chosen based on the style of the wedding. The wording will shape the tone of online wedding invitations. In case the parents of both partners are assisting in the wedding preparations and planning, talk to them, and ask if they have something to suggest for the wording. If your wedding is traditional, you can write the following words:
Example 1: Mr and Mrs (insert name here) wish for your presence at the wedding of their son James Young to Katherine Leigh.
In case your wedding is modern and casual, the following words will be best:
Example 1: Together
with their families, Kelly Morgan and John Regis invite you to celebrate their
wedding.
Send it on time
With invitations, it
is better to send them out early so that anyone who is out of the country or
town can easily arrive for the wedding in time. As for people who host their
marriage at specific destinations, 3 months is the optimum time so that
everyone can adjust the travel plans. In the case of RSVP's ask for the replies
at least 3 weeks prior to the wedding. You can do the printing of the escort
cards, finalize the seating arrangement and decide the headcount in the
meantime.
