The Wedding Invitation Stationery

There are a wide range of styles and designs to choose from, from formal to contemporary. Try and choose a design which you feel will reflect the style and theme of your Wedding. Most Wedding invitation stationery suppliers will be able to offer you other items in addition to your Wedding invitations so your theme can follow through the whole day.

Send all wedding invitations out at the same time so that guests do not assume they are second choice. Also try and get them sent out about 3 months before the Wedding to ensure everyone has adequate time to make preparations. The Groom's parents and all attendants should receive a wedding invitation.

If the bride's parents are hosting the Wedding, then traditionally the Wedding invitation is sent out by the bride's mother. If you and your partner are financing the Wedding then you have a choice. The wedding invitation can be addressed from either yourselves, or your parents, or both sets of parents.

Make sure you order enough wedding invitations!! As a guideline allow one invitation per family or couple, but we suggest you order a dozen more than you need to allow for mistakes when writing names and addresses. Make sure you see a proof of your Wedding Invitation if it is being specially printed before the supplier goes ahead and prints a large number. And ask someone else to proof read them as an extra precaution.

What to Say

The correct wording is most important if you are to avoid any potential embarrassment later on. Be clear and totally unambiguous. Avoid phrases like "and family" or you may finish up with more guests than you bargained for. Just one rather obvious point. Don't forget to put the time and address of the Wedding on the invitation. You will be surprised how many times this is overlooked!

Remember your Wedding Invitation Stationery will be the first communication concerning the Wedding that your guests will receive and as such it is important to get it right as it sets the tone for the whole day.
