Advice on Invitations

Before you order your invitations, you'll need to finalize your guest list first. Be sure to include parents, clergy, and their guests on your list of invitations to send.

Remember that the socially correct way of doing things is to give every person over 16 their own invitation.

Once you have determined how many wedding invitations need to be ordered, it is wise to add an additional 25-50 invitations to the list. This allows for spelling mistakes, when addressing the invitations, as well as last minute invites.

Order your invitations well in advance of the wedding. It may take several weeks to a month for the invitations to arrive from the printer and then another 3-6 months time to address and send out the invitations and receive the replies.

Handmade Paper

Couples who want a unique and elegant look for their wedding invitations, may use handmade paper.

Custom made paper comes in many designs and patterns and is made with a higher quality paper.

For a different look try mottled papers, with flowers, straw or jute designs.

Handmade silk papers are 80% silk, creating a unique textured look and come in a variety of colors like yellow sunshine, mauve, or lavender.

Crinkle paper, metallic, embroidery, leatherite, or moon rock style wedding invitations are also popular choices for wedding announcements.
