Wedding invitations are an important part of all weddings. It is with the invite that you get to inform both friends and family, and keep reminding them, of your wedding. Remember that the wedding invitation is the first thing that the guests see in a wedding so create great impressions with this.
There is a wide range of wedding invitations for you to choose from for your wedding. However this does not mean that you choose the first invitation that you set eyes on. When choosing your template or format, make sure it matches the tone of your wedding, color and theme. It is with your unique and personalized wedding invitation that you can reflect if you intend to have an ultra formal affair or a backyard barbeque.
When ordering your wedding invitations, you could also get your stationer to print additional stationary following the same theme as the wedding invitation on your reply cards, thank you cards, wedding programs, menu cards, reception cards and place cards. It is better to order whatever you want along with the wedding invitations as you not only get a discount, but can be sure that they are coordinated together. You can save time and money in the long run.
Once you have chosen the right design and theme for the wedding invitation, order them about three or four months before the wedding. This is so that you have ample time for corrections on the invitation cards, if any. Getting the cards printed and ready on time gives you sufficient time to address the invitations.
When ordering, don’t order the exact number as there are on your guest list. Order extras of the cards and envelopes to make way for mistakes that may occur - or for last minute additions to the guest list. When placing orders for your wedding invitation, you will be first sent over the proof version of the card. Make sure that you read them carefully and if possible, make someone else read it to ensure you did not overlook any error.
Run a spelling check and errors on dates, times and locations. It is better to make rectifications on the proof as making corrections after invitations prove to be expensive. Addressing the wedding invitations by hand give a personal touch to the cards. If you don’t have the time or handwriting to address them, you could hire a calligrapher to address the wedding invitations. Once they are ready and addressed, you have to take them to the post office to have them weighed and stamped accordingly. Make sure you post your invitations about six weeks before the wedding so that you are ensured that the card reaches the addressee.
