"Wedding Invitations Planning Tips And Ideas"___________________________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________________
A traditonal wedding invitation will read who the wedding is for, what type of wedding you will have, when is the wedding and where will the wedding be held. A wedding invitation can be sent in a number of different ways. Word of mouth, telephone, email, postcard, or a traditonal invitation. Making your own wedding invitations is the perfect way to stick with in your budget. Choose a font size between 10 and 12 that is legiable for your guest to read. Other options for your invitations are handwriting your invitations or calligraphy. When choosing the type of invitation you will need for your wedding, ask yourself... Is the wedding formal or informal? Is the wedding modern or traditonal? What is the theme of the wedding? What is the season of the wedding?
Write out full names, not nicknames including the middle name and use roman numerals in names instead of the 3rd. Use titles when appropriate, Mr, Mrs, Ms, and Miss. Spell out all words on the invitation such as the date, month, year, address, street, avenue, and drive. For weddings held in a church use the wording "request the honor of your presence and a wedding held at a non religious location use the wording "request the pleasure of your company". Invitations should be sent out six to eight weeks before your wedding date.
Know the amount of guests you are going to invite and have a list of names and addresses. Always order or make extra invitations for last minute guests or any mistakes that are made when addressing the invitations. Use black ink to address envelopes. Title each person with the appropriate titles. Mr, Mrs. Ms. Miss, Doctor, Captin, Honorable, Rabbi or Reverend. Here is how you title your guest envelope that you are inviting to your wedding. * Married couple: Mr. and Mrs. Edward Jones * Married couple with a title: Doctor and Mrs. Edward Jones * Married couples with children under 18 year old, list children names below the parents names on the inside envelope: Mr. and Mrs. Edward Jones, Susan, John, David * For Guests with different names living in the same home: Mrs. Susan Smith and Mr. Edward Jones * Children over 18 living at home: Ms. Susan Jones * Widowed guest: Mrs. Edward Jones * Single guest: Mr. Edward Jones and Guest Place the return address in the center of the back flap of the envelope. Add a line in your invitation stating what kind of reception you are having. It will be a clear way to let your guest know if you are serving a meal or not. This will allow them to eat before they come to the reception. Also make sure you inform your guest of this option so they will have money if they want to have a cocktail. If your going to number each table instead of a seating name cards, add the table number to each guest invitation. Add RSVP cards for a guest attendance count. Add a map to the wedding and reception locations in each invitation. You can print a map at
mapquest.com.
When sending thank you notes to your guests, add a picture taken with disposible cameras by your guests.
