Jill and Chris haven’t set the date yet for their wedding. However, I thought I would start collecting information for Jill about all things pertaining to the wedding. Since I’m doing all of this hard leg work I thought I would share it with all of you too. There is no sense in it not going to good use by others as well. I can just print off my blog posts for her or just e-mail her links as I find new information.
To get things started, I decided to go with wedding invitations. I’m starting with wedding invitations because they are usually one of the very first impressions everyone will have of your wedding. I say usually because save the date cards come before the invitations but I’m not sure if she will be sending those out. The invitations will set the tone of the wedding and can introduce many aspects and themes of the occasion.
It’s important to pay attention to detail with the invitations. Color schemes can match the bridal party’s chosen colors or just be classic. The design flow can be simple and elegant or complex and unique. Whatever the couple chooses to go with will give every one an idea of what they can expect of the wedding to come.
The wording of the invitation is one of the trickier points to master because you need to follow proper etiquette. It all depends on who is paying for the wedding, who is hosting it, who is attending and more. I suppose once you can answer those questions the rest will be pretty easy to figure out by looking up wedding invitation wording etiquette.
No matter what the happy couple choose, they have to remember to get them out in a timely manner.
