Selecting Your Wedding Invitations

When your wedding guest receive your invitation it is the first glimpse they have into what your wedding will be like. Choosing your invitation in important as it is a window into your wedding.

Your invitation should show the guests just what they can expect on your wedding day. Remember a wedding invitation will also serve as a keepsake to many, when they look at your invitation in the years to come they will remember your wedding and the invitation should match their memories.

Now that you are thinking about your wedding theme and colors while you shop, the next thing you need to consider is the prices of the stationery and how much your budget allows. By the time you are ready to choose invitations you should pretty much understand your budget and how much money you have to devote to wedding stationery. The range of money you could spend on wedding stationery is large. Therefore you need to know going in what you can spend now. When looking at prices make sure you note the differences between invitations sold alone (with no inserts) and ones that include matching inserts and extras such as driving directions, reception cards, meal choices selections and thank you cards. Your guests will need to know where they are going and when and you will need to thank everyone after the big day. Keep all this in mind when making your choices.

Next you need to think about the style of the wedding invitation. Again the style of the invitation should match the type of wedding you are having. This is especially important if your wedding is either formal or light, or a grand wedding versus a simple wedding.

Besides matching your stationery style up to the theme of the day you should also pay attention to the colors in your wedding.

The other question with regards to style you want to answer is whether your wedding will be traditional or modern. If your wedding fits into either type you may want your stationery to match. If you are going to have a traditional wedding you would want to use invitations which are light in color, usually whites and cream colored only. The invitations would have test but that is all, no graphics or pictures would be present. On the other hand if you think you a planning a more modern wedding the invitation colors are pretty much endless. It is not unheard of these days to have wedding invitations which are green, red or even black. Modern wedding invitations may use graphics and pictures, even though it is not necessary.

Finally you need to choose a supplier. The common supplier would be a printer or stationery company local to the area you live in. Of course there is nothing wrong with this if your area has a good supplier available. If you have one in our area you can go in and see samples, find out the type of paper they use and see the finished products they have to display. If you choose not to use them or do not have any suitable suppliers in your area there is always mail order and internet stationery stores that you can use. Mail order and internet suppliers usually have a vivid catalog to choose from with pictures of each style available. Many will give you suggestions on word choices, when to send the invitations and other etiquette matters. Choose the correct supplier by finding the right invitation for you at a cost that you can live with.
