Because a wedding is such a personal milestone, every couple wants to show a little individuality, beginning with the wedding invitation envelopes. It’s the first thing a guest will see and will give them a glimpse into your upcoming event. It is something that makes the first impression and this means a lot.

A wedding invitation will sit on with your guests for quite a while so put the effort into a great design. Off the shelf invitations are generally at the cheaper end of the market, while handmade invitations are next in line. Exclusve invitations are the most expensive but are the first glimpse that your guests will have of your wedding or barmitzvah style. Don’t forget that postage costs can add up quickly, so if you are sending out a lot of invitations (and reply cards) this should also be accounted for in your budget.

There are many aspects to carefully consider and plan. Wedding invitations can make a massive first impression when it comes to informing your guests about the wedding. This is likely to be the first thing your guests see when they find out you are getting married. Your invitations will need to make a good first impression because you won’t get a second chance at that. As well as making a good first impression your invite should be informative and designed in the style of your wedding. The look, design and the purity of the event can all be expected the moment invitation card is seen.

When looking for stationery try to consider the paper type, the style of printing, embellishments such as ribbon & bows and whether you want every invitation uniquely addressed to each of your guests.

Wedding and barmitzvah invitations are not the only items of stationery that you will need:

* Save the date cards especially useful when the event is abroad.

* The invitation & envelopes

* RSVP cards

* Order of service

* Table plan

* Place cards

* Menus, toast & speech cards

* Thank you cards

If you are having a particular colour or theme for your function, this will really help you narrow down your choice of invitations. Or you could pick a photograph for your invitation that has special memories.Whatever you choose for your wedding invitation make sure that it is unique to you. And be sure to keep a copy for us to use in your album.
