Invitations are as much a part of a wedding today as the bride and groom! While many couples send traditional formal invitations, casual invitations are gaining popularity in today's society.

Whatever invitation the happy couple chooses, there is little doubt that for every wedding planned, invitations will be created and sent by one means or another.

When did the first wedding invitations start from? The tradition started as early as the 12th Century with the town crier, who would walk through the town and announce important events to the public. Word of mouth was an important means of communications and of spreading news of important advents like weddings, deaths, anyone within hearing of the town crier was invited to the wedding! Yo u could not do that now it would cost you a fortune.

In the 1600s, became common for weddings to be announced in the newspaper. At the same time, the technology of engraving emerged as a new way to print announcements. Soon, middle class citizens began to send wedding invitations or as we call them now wedding day cards. But in those days it was very basic wedding cards they used very basic printing techniques.

In the 18th century, the art of making wedding invitations really blossomed in, making beautifully printed invitations.
Modern wedding invitations became more widely-used after 1940's . The development of thermo graphic printing made wedding cards and invitations look more like you see now.

Today, wedding invitations are mixture of modern and Victorian designs. So you can see the good old wedding invitation has come a long way to what a wedding couple would receive now!
