WOW Them With Your Wedding Invitations
Your wedding invitations are meant to provide a fresh
perspective of your new life as man and wife. These simple
invitations tell family and friends that you want them to join
you at the most significant time of your life. If you have a
boring invitation, your guests are going to assume that the
wedding will be boring. Don't be afraid to spunk it up! You want
to convey excitement.
What will you do to make your invitations appear unique and
special? Some invitations feature an icon, monogram, or the
couple's initials intertwined with one another. Dare to be
different, set your wedding invitation apart from those of
others. Your personal touch will not go unnoticed.
If you really want to 'wow' family and friends, send them
wedding invitations that they might wish to save as a keepsake.
A personalized logo with an artists rendition of you and your
fiance would be over the top! Your family will talk about it for
months with their friends and neighbours. It's such a unique
idea that really shows how much thought you put into the
preparations of getting married.
Try thinking on an abstract level. Think of your wedding
invitations, as say, a tattoo. If someone notices your tattoo,
they may never forget that minor detail. Well, if someone
receives an artfully prepared wedding invitation, they'll always
remember who it came from.
If you want your invitation to be remembered and treasured, it
should capture something symbolic. Perhaps you and your fiance
met in Hawaii. If so, incorporate a palm tree emblem with a
sunset as the backdrop. Not everyone will get it-but those who
know truly know you, will understand what it is you're trying to
convey.
Undoubtedly, a custom created invitation carries a lot of
freedom. You can create, design, and convey everything you want
in a neat little package - from you, to others - with love.
After all, that's the intention, isn't it?
Nevertheless, it really doesn't matter how elaborate your
invitations are you fail to display wedding etiquette. Don't forget to send
self-explanatory directions that include a map with your
invitations. You should also include an RSVP card in an
inner-envelope. Make sure that the envelope is pre-postage paid
and that everyone's address is confirmed prior to sending.
Ideally, invitations should be sent 6-8 weeks prior to the
wedding date. This should give everyone plenty of time to
organize their schedules around your special day.
