Choosing The Perfect Wedding Invitations
You can set the tone for your wedding day from the very
beginning by choosing wedding invitations that suit the theme of
your wedding. An elegant wedding calls for elegantly styled
wedding invitations. A casual gathering can be announced with less
formal wedding invitations. If you've chosen a special theme like
angels, the beach or a colonial wedding, you can choose
invitations that set the mood and fit the theme, or create your
own for a special, personalized touch.
Choosing your invitation style isn't the only way to add a
personal touch and incorporate your theme when you send out
invitations for your wedding. Use some of these ideas as
inspiration to make your wedding invitations a special start to
one of the most exciting and romantic times of your life.
To emphasize a
tropical theme wedding, choose invitations that feature
tropical flowers, or have a romantic soft touch island photo as a
background. Translucent overlays are a popular way to include
photos and artwork as part of the wedding invitation.
For a formal wedding, go the whole nine yards with the
invitations. Increasingly, brides are choosing to send out
more simple invitations, without enclosure cards and inner
envelopes to save money on printing and postage. If you're
planning an all-out traditional, formal wedding, emphasize the
elegance with foil-lined inner envelopes and classic raised
engraving.
Use language to help set the tone for your wedding. The words you
choose are the first impression that guests will have. For a
formal wedding, use traditional wording: Mr. & Mrs. Ethan Johnson
request the honor of your presence at the wedding of their
daughter... To set a more informal tone, use something like
'Jennifer and James invite you to share in the day as they
celebrate the magic of their love by exchanging vows.
To add a magical touch to invitations to a
fairy tale themed wedding,
sprinkle a pinch of 'fairy dust' into the envelope before sealing
it. We've seen many suggestions for using glitter this way -
but we prefer confetti in festive shapes. The larger shapes are
far less likely to end up annoying the invitation recipients by
clinging to their clothing and carpets - but still deliver the
same special magic with your invitation.
You can add a regal note to any invitation by sealing the envelope
with gold sealing wax and stamping with an emblem of your wedding
theme. You can find wax stamps to leave impressions of angels,
wedding bells, conch shells or nearly anything else you can
imagine.
Many brides are choosing to print the envelopes for their wedding
invitations for a neat, uniform appearance. Special wedding fonts
for most word processing programs can even simulate engraving on
every envelope. Still, there's no substitute for a hand-addressed
invitation in elegant calligraphy. It adds a touch of personal
elegance to your wedding theme.
