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.

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.”

If you take the design of your unique wedding invitation, it means to say that you want to make it look like nothing anyone has seen before. This would involve using styling or design elements that are out of the box. Rather than opting for clear or blank facing with minimalistic  design, that would mean shades of colour that complements each other by blending together seamlessly, and using the least amount of contrast of lines and shapes, mixing things up to create something new and exciting. For example, using contrasts would be a great idea, especially if you and your fiancé love it, then it’s making it personal. If you want to put to use intricate designs, such as damask or other ornate designs, mixing that up with colour then you can do so as well.

The point is to make it look dashing and ending up with what you would call a unique wedding invitation, one that will marvel your guests with awe. Another way of doing so is with treatments and embellishments. You can add a treatment such as embossing, engraving or even foil printing to accentuate the look of your already exciting design, allowing for a great hand-feel and also a touch of glitz. If you want to go a little further, then you can also add trims that would make it sparkle. Be it a little trinket, a buckle touched with a little lace, you can use all these things to make your unique wedding invitations wonderful and one to remember. Now, don’t forget, the key is to make it truly personal. What you and your fiancé prefer goes a long way.
