Violets are Blue Wedding Invitations

Monday, January 2nd, 2012

Another spin off the romantic poem, “ Roses are Red, Violets are blue, Sugar is Sweet, and So are YOU!”, we bring to you in this instalment, a range of wedding invitations offered by DreamDay Invitations that relate to how you can keep to the theme of ‘violets are blue’.  We will look at how shades of blue and violet can be used for your wedding invitation designs, and which items off the DreamDay Invitations collection are ideal choices that suit this wedding theme. Let’s find out.

When it comes to wedding decor and invitations, a common design element flows and unites them together. Therefore, when in search of such an element, draw inspiration from the likes of your venue, the flowers you are using, and even a picture from an inspiration board. From patterns that are modern to Romanesque, with polka dots or stripes and damask and filigree, or floral accents that feature flowers or flowing line drawings.  Since Violets range from blue and purple, we will use them as a theme for the wedding invitations featured in this instalment.

Blue Wedding Invitations

For those who like the colour and want to make it the highlight of the wedding invite, then you can use a shade of blue which is perfect for you, and add an accent such as a lace trim design on the edges for a classic touch of elegance, like in Bridal Lace. For a rather ornate yet prominent design display, you could also opt for Grand Caress, which features your colour with the design in white. If you would like a modern feel to your wedding invitation, stripes are very in right now, so Candy Stripe would be a good option.  If you also like intricate designs of damask, and you would like a good mash-up, then Silk Cascade would be ideal.

However, for floral accents and designs, the ideal choices of wedding invitations from DreamDay Invitations would be the likes of Island Fantasy, Jewel Mist and Tapestry.

Violet and Purple Wedding Invitations

Much like the blue wedding invitations, the violet and purple wedding invitations you will want similar design elements and accents. Therefore, when it comes to them, the choice of inspiration from garden to beach, floral or rather a period from the ages might be what you want for your wedding theme. Like so, you have floral or garden inspired wedding invitations such as Enchanted Garden, cute little flowers such as Forget Me Not, to a striking display of photographs in your wedding invite with Orchid Obsession to a beautiful floral illustration such as English Rose would be ideal. An adorable lovebird illustration for a garden wedding with Lovebirds Landing would a nice touch too.

Other designs that are classy and elegant include the likes of Autumn Garden, New Dawn and Crest of Love, which feature intricate designs and are beautiful at the same time.  If you would like a vintage chic effect on your wedding invitations, take a look at the likes of Heirloom Chandelier, Moonlight Silhouette and Timeless Tulle.

These sweet wedding invitations are just as sweet as the poem, “roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you…”

Wedding Invitations & RSVPs

It’s always a good idea to know a timeline of when things need to get done, therefore be specific about when to RSVP, as the venue (in case it is a hotel, restaurant and so forth) needs a proper count to ensure you are within budget. Some people opt to not reply and simply show up for the wedding reception and this might cause issues with catering to a specific number of guests. Make sure you leave enough time between the RSVP deadline and the caterer deadline so that you could check your guest list, figure out who has not responded and attempt to have them contacted to ensure that they will either be attending or not. Usually the deadline for RSVPs are six weeks prior to the wedding, that should give you enough response time. This will help you keep your budget on track and assure you that there will not be an issue of seating, catering and so on.   Make sure that the RSVP details are precise and give you enough leave way.

Consider DIY Invitations

If you want to send your family and friends a wedding invitation that they will always want to keep, try the DIY tool and design your own. Once you receive them, then you can add special notes and additions like bows, flowers, glitter, photographs and other small items to give them that personal touch.

Consider the Texture and Color

After all, you want them to say something about who you two are as a couple and as individuals. Choosing the right texture with the right design can make all the difference in how impressive your wedding invitations are. Order them in embossed, foil or embellished and see how impressed your guests are.

Even though it may sound shallow, some people actually make up their minds if they are going to attend a wedding by the impression they get from the invitation. If it is cheap looking, has spelling or printing errors, is printed on flimsy paper, they assume that the wedding and reception will follow suit.

Talk About It

Many grooms-to-be let the bride-to-be take care of the invitations. You both should still talk about them before a design is chosen. He may have preferences in the printing, colors and designs that are available. Ask for his input. This is one of the most precious events in both your lives so everything should be decided by the both of you.

Look around the website, choose some favorites, and then discuss it in a nice quiet atmosphere where it is just the two of you. Don’t let it become a stressful situation.

5 Steps to Insure Your Wedding Invitations Will be Treasured by Your Guests

Thursday, September 15th, 2011

Wedding invites are keepsakes. Family members and friends will keep them for years, putting them in picture frames, scrapbooks, family bibles and photo albums. You want your wedding invitations to be the type that they will treasure and want to keep.

Step 1 – Pick the Right Design

Picking the right design is important. The wedding invitation needs to bring back memories of the wedding itself. Don’t choose something generic just because it is less expensive. Don’t choose a flimsy, cheap paper to have it printed on. You will want the invitation to be a keepsake that they will have for years. Choose colors, designs, and themes that match your wedding theme. Some examples would be flowers or sunsets, or beach scenes for spring, vintage designs for a more traditional wedding and something unique if you are picking an unusual, more modern theme.

Red Rose Wedding Invitations

Step 2 – Pick the Right Cards

Make sure to pick the right cards to go with the invitations. RSVP’s, direction and registry cards, accommodation cards, place cards, name cards, and coordinated menus are kept as keepsakes for a wedding also. Be sure to order cards that match the invitations, and be sure to order enough so everyone attending will get one. A guest will feel insulted if they get an invitation and find out other cards were sent that they did not receive.

Step 3 – Be Concise

There is nothing more embarrassing to the couple and more insulting to the parents than having the parent’s names misspelled. Be concise. Check the spelling on everything before ordering the invitations and accessories.  Make sure that everything is written correctly and in the correct order. If the names of other relatives or friends will be included, be sure to get the proper spelling.

Step 4 – Personalize

Everyone loves to see their name on something. Personalised invitations are some of the most treasured keepsakes. It makes the guest feel very special and very close to the bride and groom. If you can’t afford to have each guests name put on the cards, then see if you can have a friend or relative with beautiful handwriting or experience in calligraphy write the names on the top of the card. If this can’t be done, then at least be sure to address the envelopes by hand. There is nothing more impersonal than receiving an invitation in a typed or computer generated envelope.

Step 5 – Include a Personal Note

Although this may take some extra time, including a small personal note on the back of the invitation will go over really big with your guests. If you have too many guests, then just do it on the back of relative’s cards. If the wedding invitations are ordered early enough, then writing a personal note, just a line or two near the bottom will make the invitation more of a treasure for each person. For example: “ We would be so pleased (name), if you could attend our wedding. It would mean so much to us to have you be a part of our special day.” Or “ We are looking forward to seeing you at on this special day.”
