Practical suggestions on how to select your wedding invitations

Planning your wedding invitation is often a demanding ordeal. Most individuals simply just don't have either enough time or the skills to evaluate the innumerable customization alternatives that can be had in this market. Whether you're planning to make and print your own invitation, order wedding invitations on the web or use the assistance of an experienced stationer in your town, these helpful guidelines may benefit.

Helpful Suggestions on Deciding on your Wedding Invitations

Decide on your paper stock before anything else. The overall size, texture and consistancy and weight of your wedding invitations are by far the most important aspect to consider when selecting your wedding invitation. The substance and level of quality of the wedding papers speaks to the magnitude of the special occasion. High quality wedding papers is, in my judgement, a pre-requisite for a well-made wedding invitation.

If you decide to make your own special wedding invitation, please be sure that you have corresponding envelopes for the wedding papers specifications and stock that you have identified. Many times have we experienced a beautifully desgined DIY invitation, but no matching envelope. Despite the fact that it may cut down your design alternatives, we recommend lose wedding card stock and envelopes that go with the invitation and the reply card set. Moreover, take note that if you intend to print your own invitations, #96 paper is about the thickest that will fit through an inkjet printer without jamming.

Even though colored paper stock is typically lovely and may work effectively with the style of your wedding, it is quite often difficult to flat-print on colored card stock. As an example, it you choose scarlet or deep blue paper stock, you probably will have to engrave the wedding invitation to make sure that ink colorings are accurately represented. Engraving or letterpress, while beautiful, raises the price tag of invitations. Generally, you can generate the same exact effect by employing white or ecru paper and just simply print in strong ink colors or use patterned or colored envelope liners to fit your wedding theme.

Proper social etiquette is vital in a well-formulated wedding invitation. Whereas an experienced stationer in your neighborhood should be aware of the right wording etiquette, it might be sensible to acquire of a copy of Crane's Blue Book if you are wording your invitation.

Be sure you buy adequate wedding invitations. Almost all companies sell wedding invitations in lots of 25 and we generally recommend to bridal couples that they order no less than 25 more invitations than they need just in case that someone was accidentally forgotten or you've got eleventh hour guests. A second printing of your invitation is quite expensive so be sure you order the right amount.

Just before you mail your invitations, which typically should include a reply card and self-addressed envelope 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 irritating than having your invitation sent back because you lacked enough postage.
