Your wedding invitations set the expectations of the style, theme and formality of the occasion and influence all of your other wedding stationery.
Wedding invitations are a perfect way to share your excitement about your upcoming wedding with your guests. It is the first impression of your wedding day so spend some time looking for a wedding invitation that really reflects the wedding you are planning, and suits your theme or wedding style.
Theme: Make sure you decide on a theme for your wedding before you even start looking at wedding invitations. There are so many options out there and it is very easy to get overwhelmed and confused. Once you have a theme in mind, you will find it easy to look for the colours and styles that match your wedding theme. If you haven’t decided on a theme when ordering your invitations, I suggest you go for something neutral which will leave the doors open to match with a theme later.
Cost: Wedding invitations can get quite costly if you are not careful. Make sure you compare all your options. Get a few quotes from wedding invitation vendors as well as the online market. It all comes down to how much detail you want and how many you are after. In my experience a lot of brides forget about the cost of postage when ordering their wedding invitations, so make sure you include postage into your pricing. Remember it’s not only about the weight of the invitations; it also comes down to size.
Allow enough time: Don’t wait until last minute to order your wedding invitations as the turnaround time can be quite long if you have handmade detailed designs. If you send out save the date cards at least 5-9 months before the wedding, your guests will hold the date!
Have a bit of FUN with your wedding invitations and create something unique that your guest will remember! In the images below the bride and groom has chosen to have fun and go away from the traditional printed invitations.
