Choosing Wedding Invitations

Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials! But, you are probably thinking, where do I go from here? Well, first of all, its time to tell those closest to you all about your happy news! The most appropriate way to do this is by sending them wedding invitations.
You may not think that invitations are an important part of the day, but they are actually a huge part of your wedding. The invitations are the first opportunity to give your guests a glimpse as to what your wedding day will be like. So it is vital that you make a great first impression.

If you are getting married during the school holidays, or on a bank holiday weekend, then it may be worth considering sending out Save The Date cards as soon as you have confirmed your date, so that guests can keep the date free in their schedule.

The invitations are normally sent out about 6 weeks in advance of the wedding; however, with the busy lifestyles that we all now lead, more people are sending them out as soon as 3 or 4 months before the big day. When choosing invitations, many people tend to decide on invitations which co-ordinate with their wedding theme and wedding color scheme, so it is important to look around and find the perfect invitations.

Handmade wedding invitations are becoming more and more popular as time goes on. There are some beautiful embellishments available for weddings which can be used in a variety of ways on wedding invitations.

Another brilliant advantage of handmade invitations is that you can generally get the crafter to make your invites in different colors and designs, and also personalize wording to your exact requirements.
