The wedding invitation provides you guests with a "sneak preview" to your wedding. It can indicate whether it will be a traditional or a contemporary ceremony, the mood formal or casual. This preview is achieved by a variety of important factors, through the selection of your invitation ensemble. These include the color and texture of paper, color of ink, typeface style, design and layout of the invitation.
Your invitation ensemble will include the following items:
- The invitation itself with both outer and inner envelopes.
- Reception card.
- Response card and envelope with pre-printed response address.
- Informal thank you notes.
In order to carry the mood set by your invitations into the big day, you should coordinate your wedding accessories with your invitations. These accessories include announcements, toasting glasses, cake knives, the guest book and pen. In order to give your guests an opportunity to participate in the wedding and remember it as you will, you will want to have a program for the ceremony as well as napkins and matches at the reception. These also need to be coordinated with your wedding colors and style.
Your invitations do not have to cost a fortune to look like you spent one on them. This look can be achieved by ordering your invitations through a professional who has the knowledge and experience to help you make the right choices for your wedding.
