With all the expenses typically associated with preparing for a
wedding, there is the temptation to put less emphasis on certain
aspects of the ceremony. Stationary often falls into this
category. Invitations, thank you and note cards, and orders of
service are examples of stationary that people choose to use
for their ceremony. Of these, you don\'t want to diminish the
quality of wedding invitation that you use. Your wedding
invitation is what people see first regarding your wedding. It
sets the tone of what your guests can expect when they attend
the wedding ceremony. A wedding invitation generally includes
key features and there are some considerations to help you with
your choice of wedding invitation style. You don\'t have to spend
a significant amount of money on a particular wedding invitation
style, but there are some guidelines you can follow to make them
a success.
Word Choice
What you say and how you say it is an important part of a
wedding invitation. At the very least you want to include
information that will inform you guests of the what, where,
why, and when of the ceremony. The obvious information that
should be included in a wedding invitation is the names of the
bride and groom, as well as the date, time, and venue of the
ceremony. The names of the individuals who are hosting the
wedding ceremony (paying for it) should appear on the wedding
invitation. There really isn\'t one standard for how this
information should appear on the wedding invitation, so you can
use your best judgment or seek advice from a printer.
Getting Down to the Particulars
Numbers are important when preparing a wedding invitation.
Knowing how many invitations to mail and when to mail them are
important numbers for your wedding invitation. The general
guidelines for sending out invitations to your wedding is six
weeks to 12 months before the ceremony. If you are inviting
guests from out-of-town you should allow an extended amount of
time for the individual to receive the wedding invitation and
to make arrangements to attend. Unless everyone who receives a
wedding invitation will be invited to the reception, it is
standard practice to include a separate card announcing the
particulars of the reception with the wedding invitation of
those you intend to invite to the reception. No matter how you
plan, you will always need an extra wedding invitation. As a
rule, it is a good idea to order at least 25 extra invitations.
Considering Style
When your guests receive their wedding invitation, they should
receive more than a simple card with information on it. Add as
much creative flair to your wedding invitation that you
possibly can. Ideas for making a wedding invitation unique
include adding color, accessories, and aromas. You can
experiment with each of these elements when deciding on the
style of wedding invitation to use or view samples from a
printer, online catalog, or those within a stationary shop.
