First Impressions
Your wedding invitations represent the very first impression
of your wedding style. Whether your invitations are professionally
made or created with your own hands, wedding invitations set
the tone for your special day!
Wedding invitations have come a long way from
the old days of simple gold and white cards. There are as
many different types of wedding invitations as there are kinds
of weddings. Whether you’re getting married on the beach,
or in the heart of New York City, various manufacturers create
wedding invitations that are exactly right for your perfect
day.
Formal or informal, flirty or conservative – there are
invitations specifically tailored to fit your needs.
Worried the cost of wedding invitations? Try
blank wedding invitations. Filling these invitations out yourself
adds a special personal touch!
Would you like something funky or unique? What about a specially
cut and shaped card? Wedding invitations are currently available
in almost infinite configurations – or you can design
your own, and have it specially made.
Hand-made wedding invitations are currently extremely popular!
Using everything from specialty papers to calligraphy, these
wedding invitations are truly small works of original art.
Or, if you have an artistic bent, why not create your wedding
invitations yourself? You can use materials from nature, things
that are especially personal to you, small paintings or collages,
or almost any medium you can imagine, to create an interesting
and creative alternative to standard wedding invitations.
Whether traditional or unique, the key thing to remember about
your invitations is that, fundamentally, they are yours. Choose
wedding invitations that fit your personal style, and everyone
who receives one will feel specially connected to you when
they open their mailbox!
Autumn Wedding Invitation Wording
Wedding invitation wording can be a tricky process.
Finding the proper etiquette for phrasing your invitations
may be the most complicated part of creating them. There are,
however, some simple tips that will take some of the intricacy
out of writing your invitation text.
The first thing to remember for proper wedding
invitation wording is simple courtesy. Always use full names,
not nicknames. Never use abbreviations for times, dates or
places in your wedding invitation wording. For instance, if
your wedding is located on Church Street, make sure you spell
out the word “Street” completely. The only exceptions
to this rule are the words Saint (St.), Mount (Mt.) which
can be used either way. It also common practice to use titles
(like Mr., Miss, Ms., or Mrs.) whenever appropriate. When
in doubt always use a title. Formal wedding invitation wording
is always in third person, and lists the name of the hosts
(whether they be the bride’s or the groom’s family)
first. An example of this wedding invitation wording is as
follows:
Mr. and Mrs. Todd Elders
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter
Anna Marie
to
Mr. Geoffrey Gene Feldman
A less traditional wedding invitation wording could replace,
“honor of your presence” with “pleasure
of your company”. The latter wording is often used for
smaller, more intimate weddings – such as those that
take place at home. If you’re the kind of person who
prefers an alternative style, wedding invitation wording can
take on any aspect that you would like. Just remember to tell
people where and when the wedding is, and let your heart do
the writing. If you’re still unsure of just what you
want to say, professionals are readily available to help you
with your wedding invitation wording
