Many couples these days decide to 'theme' their wedding. Be it a Beach, River, Rainforest, Nightclub, Movie Set, Romantic, Cultural.....the list is only limited by your imagination!
If you do decide to do this, it is important to carry the theme from the very beginning, your invitation is your guests' first impression of the style and character of your Wedding. So make sure that your chosen stationery reflects it.
Many people are computer literate to the point that they feel comfortable purchasing lovely paperstock and designing and printing their own. If you are not, then be careful to choose a professional who understands your theme and will charge you a reasonable fee. Professionally printing your invitations is not only traditional, but it also ensures the invitation be keepsake that adds a touch of class and style to your wedding.
Again, its important to remember to carry your theme. So your service booklets (if you have them), place cards, cake bags/boxes and ultimately thank you cards need to follow through.
In today's world of computers, email and SMS, the very personal feeling of receiving an envelope in the mail, hand addressed, will by its very nature make your invited guest feel special and excited to share your event with you.
As they pull out the invitation you want them to go "wow" ... and keep on saying it all the way through the build up, the ceremony and the reception.
Attention to this detail ensures your wedding will always be remembered! |
