Now that you’ve set the date for that all-important day, you need to start planning. Surprisingly enough, one of the hardest tasks for brides-to-be is deciding on the perfect wedding invite design.
Designing the perfect wedding invitation is one of the first ways to set the tone for your wedding day.
Not only do your wedding invitations give guests the information and details they need to attend your event, but they are also a reflection of your personality and offer a sneak preview of the theme and plans for your big day.
Your perfect wedding invitation should contain everything your guests need to know, such as:
Invitations are usually sent to your guests around 8-12 weeks before your wedding. If you have guests who are travelling for your wedding, a nice idea is to send out “save the date” cards prior to sending out your formal invitations.
This gives your guests the heads up that you’re getting married and to save the date in their calendar (it also allows your guests time to book accommodation if need be).
Along with your invitations, it’s a good idea to think about items you may need for your ceremony or reception:
Wedding invitations can be handcrafted or printed digitally to complement your special day.
Sizes vary from A6 through to DL (1/3 of an A4 sheet) and A5 and can match the colours of your wedding theme.
Your invitations should maintain wedding etiquette as well as style, individuality and elegance. Most importantly, the perfect wedding invitation should represent you – after all, this is YOUR big day!
