The Wedding Invitations and Announcements tips

You must make the obvious: your announcement will set the tone that you want to infuse your wedding. How many times have you asked the question whether, as your best friend, you’ll try the original or, as you advise your mother, you would prefer a classic? Whatever your decision, you should know that no rule comes into force in this area.

Happy guests at your wedding

What a pleasure for someone to receive in his mailbox an invitation to a wedding. But if the joy of feeling regarded as to share this unique day in the life of a couple huge disappointments not to be invited will be proportional. As you do not want to forget a family member or friend away, you take the trouble a few weeks before sending the announcement to establish a wish list that is exhaustive. Even if this chore will seem insurmountable, it is important to repeat several times to make sure the final result. This list is divided into two distinct parts: the people and to prevent others sometimes invited to the wine sometimes honor at the reception.

Do not see a distant cousin for over 10 years does not exempt you from the guest at the ceremony. Rumors are even faster than you think and the susceptibility of the parent non-guest could cause some damage to family relationships. In the same kind of ideas you will not forget to tell your colleagues and your employer. This is also not to risk angering the people you’re supposed to rub shoulders every day.

It’s unfortunate but your methods are not scalable. You must therefore make choices and what, specifically to determine who will be invited to the famous dinner preceding the dance. Whatever. If your friends will be invited to the afternoon, you invite all your calendar (and your parents) account of industrial relations at the reception of the afternoon. The champagne will flow and the pile of gifts will not fail to move you. All these people thought of you …

To avoid confusion, you invite the privileged to dine with a box to share. A method that enables you also to curb the number of guests to the number of printed cards. Not very romantic but very effective!

A reconciliation between families

One reason for requiring you to prepare your guest list at least two months in advance is that it is essential that both families have their agreement on it. Many disputes stem from this bad period but you will console yourself by saying that this will necessarily end well.

Remember that decency demands that the announcements be sent at least 4 weeks before the wedding. It must indeed allow guests to subscribe to their agenda that never fails to be well filled.

The paperwork once settled, it is time to think about the style you’ll give your announcements. Contrary to what one might think, this is a step not taken lightly. In fact, people keep a curious memento of your invitation for many years. You then take care to bring a bit of your personality.

- A bit of classicism

The printer will be an indispensable partner for the successful implementation of your invitations. A classic among classics, the “two pages” actually consists of four pages printed on vellum, will generally be the object of all desires. You then choose a typeface in any round. The elegance of a writing pen will please some. Remember however that you should never give this “piece of paper” the power to tell your guests what is the atmosphere of the day: an intimate, romantic or just royal. Classicism you have chosen does not prevent you from joining a small sheet indicating where your wedding list.

- In a nutshell, is the class

Put a little relief in your announcements and using the technique of “delayed”. Nothing prevents you also to decorate this invitation by printing a reproduction of a painting by the great master dear to the spirit of your relationship. They avoid the surcharges, however, so as not to offend the visual sensibilities of your guests.


- An opportunity not to be like everyone else

Nothing is impossible. In all cases the credo of some companies that are ready to access all your desires as long as you have the budget. Write your invitation on a plate? Why not! But the must be to create something just for you. You then send each of your guests. Be still careful not to put all your resources in the invitations and do more to “secure” at the reception.

Originality does not necessarily require, however, to invest enormous sums. A designer friend can you make a comic strip, another, more DIY puzzles or make your love the reflection you will write a riddle that should (without too much difficulty) bring your family and friends to the ceremony.

Do you speak …

Some grow up narcissism to publish an advertisement in newspapers in their area. But your dream of “the one” on your wedding day is not as inaccessible as you might think. With the help of a journalist friend, you build a custom log on your computer you will then be printed in printing trades. The opportunity probably express the passion of your feelings for your partner or how you met.

Anyway, it’s your imagination be your best ally to create an announcement that you like most. So please take your time.

In words …

Your commitment to the habits and customs will require you to certain terms “mandatory”. So you start by quoting your grandparents before forwarding parents. You will not fail to indicate any securities of each of them. The future spouses may also make mention of their titles such as doctor, lawyer, … Finally, nothing prevents you to mention all the other members of your family. To you find useful.

In any case, do not give in to panic. Professionals are always at your disposal to take you back on track if you should forget the words or recommended that your ideas are actually feasible.
