How to choose the best wedding invitations
October 18, 2011 · Print This Article
Table placements, menus and centre pieces are some of the things that will take a lot of time to plan when organising your wedding day. Before all of these tasks are complete, you will need to start looking at the guest list and the wedding invitations respectively.
It is important to not go for the cheapest option when it comes to the invites as this is the first impression people will have of your big day – remember that you are aiming to excite and awe.
There are various styles and methods you can use to create wedding invitations. It is best to do some online research and consult people who have already gone through the entire wedding invite process.
How to choose the right invitation for your wedding
When selecting the most appropriate wedding invitation for your big day, keep the following in mind:
- Formal/casual. It is important to convey the correct tone as people might be confused when receiving a very formal looking invite when the wedding is a casual picnic. Make sure your wedding invitation’s tone matches the event.
- Theme. The overall theme should resonate through your wedding invitation. View your theme as a golden thread that connects all the aspects of your wedding together.
- Purchase/DIY. When a theme and venue is set in stone and you have a good idea of what your wedding invites should look like, consider whether to purchase or make them yourselves. Both options have pros and cons as purchasing cards can look professional (but be more expensive) and the DIY option can feel more personalised (but take a large portion of time and effort).
