A Guide to Wedding Invitations
By Kevin Stith
The wedding date and time has
been set, the location for the special event has been finalized,
and the decision for the wedding theme – traditional and formal
or fun and casual – has been made. Now it’s time to take the
next step and create wedding invitations that reflect the
celebration you’ve planned and provide the information needed
for friends and family to have a pleasant experience as wedding
guests.
Wedding
invitations are the first place your guests will actually get a
sense of the wedding you’ve planned. Whether your budget allows
for custom made invitations ranging from sophisticated to
artistic or do-it-yourself creations, there are plenty of
options to provide memorable wedding invitations.
An
exquisite array of invitations is available for those planning a
formal or traditional wedding. Before you begin visually
scanning all the possibilities, familiarize yourself with the
language of printers and invitation designers. Understanding the
various folds, tri-fold, z-fold, and French-fold, as well as
terms such as embossing, thermography, deckle edge and
die-cutting can save you time and money.
For the
adventurous, a variety of unique wedding invitations can be
explored from the homespun feel of a custom portrait boxed with
rose petals to CD/DVD presentations for the tech-savvy couple.
Once you’ve selected the design for your wedding invitations,
you’ll want to find creative wording to convey the sentiment of
your relationship and wedding. Examining wedding invitation
etiquette is a good place to begin for the appropriate wording
of your invitations.
Regardless of whether your wedding invitations are traditional
or casual, you will want to include an RSVP/response card, and a
reception card. Other options are also available to include in
the mailing as a way to give your guests all the information
needed to join in your special celebration.
