Wedding Invitation Options: Your Wedding Stationery Choice Made Easier.

Your unique wedding invitations should be a reflection of the two of you. This is one wedding-related activity that should not rest upon the shoulders of only one person. You will be sending these invitations out to every guest you invite...you don't want them to be at odds with your personalities or with the theme of the wedding.

For example, if you are having a "backyard hoe-down" for your wedding, you probably want to send out somewhat informal and fun invitations as opposed to gold-trimmed invitations laden with lacey trim. Conversely, if you are planning an elegant wedding, then cheaply made invitations will not be in keeping with the overall theme.

Your personality and the personality of your partner matters more than the general theme of the wedding. You should make sure that the invitations are a true reflection of the both of you.

Your Choice Of Wedding Invitations Is Almost Endless
Some couples go with a simple invitation, others have them hand-written by a paid calligrapher, and still other couples incorporate a portrait of themselves on the invitation.

There is a trend towards e-mailing invitations instead of using the traditional post-mail, but the jury is still out as to if this is considered acceptable with regards to Wedding Etiquette.

As with all other aspects of wedding planning, the important thing is to make sure you stay true to your personal tastes and not care so much what other people with think. (So long as you do not infringe upon the boundaries of good taste.)

Get the basic information out: who, what, where, and when....and anything else you add is merely decorative.......how decorative you and your partner choose is up to you.

Most importantly, have fun when choosing your complete Wedding Stationery Ensemble.

Save The Date Notes are becoming more popular these days as advance notice for Formal Wedding Invitations and seem to reflect our increasingly busy lifestyles.

There is a relatively recent trend in which intending couples send out a notice soon after setting a date for the wedding that lets potential guests know to save the date on their calendar.

This is a great idea because it gives everyone a heads up that you will be requesting the honor of their presence on a certain day in the future without you having to send out formal invitations horribly early.


A Save-The-Date card does not request an RSVP, but instead is just a notice of an impending invitation.

If you have guests who will be coming from out-of-town, interstate or overseas, and will need to make travel and accommodation arrangements, then you should definitely think about using save-the-date cards.


Let them know that you would like them to "save-the-date" and that they should start looking into suitable travel options.
