Wedding Invitation Ideas
You’re getting married and are in the planning stages of creating your fairytale wedding. You have made some decisions regarding your ceremony, venue, dress, music and now you are preparing to invite all of your friends and family to share in the happiest day of your life. An invitation to your wedding can be conveyed by word of mouth, telephone, text message, e-mail, fax or as in the olden days, by personal carrier. Today most couples choose to send their wedding invitations via regular mail. Wedding etiquette requires that you include the venue, date, time of the ceremony and reception, directions, and an R.S.V.P. date. It is common practice to include a separate self-stamped, pre-addressed response card and envelope. Some couples include the notation, black tie or black tie optional if they are planning a formal or semi formal wedding. The invitations that you send to your guests are the window of your upcoming wedding day and you want them to reflect your personality and wedding theme.
One of the first items that I discuss with brides regarding their invitation is their budget. Do you want to go all out with elaborate invites, or is just getting the information to your guests what is important to you.
If cost is not an issue, take a trip to a stationery store, look through their books and choose an invite that represents your wedding theme and color scheme. Elaborate invitations with gold lettering, embossed on linen, high quality stock paper, including the response card and envelope, reception card and any other enclosure imaginable, can cost around $25 per invite.

It is perfectly acceptable to incorporate your wedding theme into your wedding invitation ideas. If you are having a Valentine wedding theme, you may choose white cardstock with red printing and embossed hearts on the paper. A Cinderella wedding theme invite could have a picture of a bride and groom standing in front of a Cinderella wedding coach.
Choosing the “right” wording can baffle any bride, especially since the family unit has changed and the host of the wedding can be the couple themselves, bride’s parents, possible step parent, groom’s parents or any combination of the above. I recommend discussing the wording of your invites before you sign off on the printing. Look in wedding books, talk to some of your recently married friends, and check the Internet for wedding invitation ideas and suggestions to help you decide what you wish to say in your invite.

The style of the font that you choose is entirely up to you and what you want to convey to your guests. A more modern look can have a bold type set, while a more traditional wedding can have a script font.
