Wedding Invitations Far from simply informing guests of the wedding details, your wedding stationery is a reflection of your nuptials, as well as your individuality. There is an abundance of wedding stationary options, providing brides with the resources to create truly unique and innovative invitations to their special day.  From do it yourself options to handmade cards to invitations printed on the stationer's original designer stationery, stationers have all the alternatives for you.   Endless Options for Wedding Stationery In terms of budgeting options range between simple laser and the professional layered printing styles. Brides can create their invites in the formal wedding style with gold embossing and monograms or else take a completely individual approach with bright, colourful papers or personally handwritten invitations by a calligrapher. Some wedding stationery will carry something personal like a photograph of the couple, or something characteristic of them such as symbols of heritage or reference to their hobbies. An example is nautical themed wedding stationery for a bride and groom who are both sailing enthusiasts. Monograms are often of the grooms surname initial in the middle of the page, flanked by the bride and the grooms initials. How to Go About Choosing Your Wedding Invitations Visiting a range of stores for stores for inspiration is a great way to start. The style of your wedding will influence stationery colour themes and styles and it's a good idea to bring along fabric samples when visiting stationers for a clear idea of the colour scheme you want. Preparations and arrangements with the stationer must be done well in advance. 6- 12 months is a good guideline- also considering guests who may need to travel overseas or interstate. The wording on your stationery is very important as it sets the theme of the wedding for your guests. Who Should Send the Invitations and What Should They Contain? On formal invitations the bride's parents cordially invite the guests, while less formally the bride and groom will send the invitations out.  Basically – it should be the host that sends out the invitations. Wedding invitations should state the relationship of the hosts to the bride- or couple- and all important details for the wedding day; the date, time, venue, dress code, RSVP date and the address for replies. Directions to the church and reception, bridal registry information or tags for your bomboniere may also be included. It should also specify who the invitation is to. Children over the age of 15 should receive their own invitation- whereas all children under fifteen should be listed on the invitation. Ensure that you proof read your wedding invitations and perhaps write an invitation list too to ensure you miss no one and keep the invites to the numbers budgeted for.
