Wedding Invites
Wedding invites - Coordinating Your Invitations
Once you've set the date, booked the venues and finalised the guest list, the most important step you will take is getting your wedding invitations sorted out and in the mail. The wedding invites are the first 'taste' of the type of wedding you have arranged. Depending upon the type of service and how informal or formal the day is going to be, your wedding invites can reflect the type of day you have planned.
Wedding invitations may be formal or informal and if you want something individual, you can arrange wedding invites and coordinating stationery tailored to fit with the style and theme of your wedding ceremony and reception.
If you want to send an invite that reflects the style of your wedding day, there are a range of customisable elements that you can adjust to fit your taste and needs. You may like to have your wedding invitation tailored to your needs by customising one or more of the following:
Colour - The range of colours you can chose when having a wedding invitation made is broad. The traditional white or cream card is no longer the only choice available. Nowadays you can select wedding invites that coordinate with the colour of your wedding flowers, table linen or another colour that is incorporated into your wedding theme.
Pattern - Having wedding stationery tailored to complement the theme of your wedding day is an opportunity to incorporate a pattern that you have used in some other element. You may have included a certain ornament or flower in your table arrangements, or have selected a patterned fabric for the linen or wedding outfits. With a customised option, you can replicate this design in your wedding stationery and invitations.
Adornment - When you have your wedding invitations done, you might want to include some form of adornment on the invitation. The options for this include diamante adornment, flowers, ribbon, organza or layered finishes. These additions give your wedding invites a rich feel and add texture to your stationery.
Inserts - If you wish to provide guides to help guests find the wedding, advise guests of registry details or add in an RSVP card, then you may want to arrange something that coordinates with the invitation. Inserts complete your wedding invites and ensure that your friends and family have all the information they need.
Wedding invites are an important consideration in your wedding day preparations. These days you have a broad range of choices and you can tailor your invites to be as individual as your wedding day. If you're unsure about how to choose the best colour, pattern, texture or adornments, then a good way to start is to consider the style of wedding you are having, the flowers you have selected, colours you have chosen and types of fabrics and table arrangements you have picked. If you are having the invites prepared for you, then you may want to discuss this with the person who is preparing the invitations. An attractive wedding invitation is the perfect way to let your family and friends now about the big day and start to give them a sense of the type of day you are planning.
