Practical recommendations on how to create your wedding invitations

Planning your wedding invitation often is a challenging and difficult ordeal. Most individuals quite frankly don't have either time or the knowledge to evaluate the endless customization alternatives that can be had in the marketplace. Whether you're planning to create and print your own invitation, buy wedding invitations on the web or use the assistance of an experienced stationer in your town, these useful guidelines may assist.

Helpful Suggestions on Deciding on your Wedding Invitations

Decide on your wedding papers first and foremost. The dimensions, feel and weight of your wedding stationery are by far the most important aspect to consider when selecting your wedding invitation. The substance and level of quality of the cardstock speaks to the magnitude of the event. High quality cardstock is, in my estimation, a pre-requisite for a well-crafted wedding invitation.

If you decide to make your very own wedding invitation, please be sure that you have coordinating envelopes for the cardstock dimensions and stock that you have selected. Too many times have we experienced a well-crafted DIY invitation, but no matching envelope. Despite the fact that it may decrease your design alternatives, we recommend loose wedding papers and envelopes that go with the invitation and the reply card set. Moreover, bear in mind that if you intend to print your own invitations, #96 paper is about the thickest that will fit through an inkjet printer without jamming.

Although colored paper stock is typically lovely and may work nicely with the concept of your wedding, it is frequently difficult to flat-print on colored cardstock. As an example, it you choose scarlet or deep blue paper stock, you probably will have to engrave the invite to make sure that ink colorings are correctly shown. Engraving or letterpress, while beautiful, raises the price of invitations. Usually, you can obtain the the exact same effect by employing white or ecru paper and just simply print in strong ink colors or use patterned or colored envelope liners to complement your wedding theme.

Proper wording etiquette is vital in a well-formulated wedding invitation. Even though an experienced stationer in your neighborhood ought to know the correct wording, it might be sensible to buy of a copy of Crane's Blue Book if you are wording your invitation.

Make sure that you purchase adequate wedding invitations. Almost all companies sell wedding invitations in batches of 25 and we recommend to bridal couples that they buy a minimum of 25 more invitations than they need just in case that someone was unintentionally forgotten or you've last second guests. A second printing of your invitation is very costly so make certain you order sufficient.

Prior to you mail your invitations, which typically should include a reply card and conceivably a directions card, it is wise to have the wedding invitation and enclosures weighed at the hometown Post Office. There is almost nothing more serious than having your invitation sent back because you lacked adequate postage.
