Choosing Your Design\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Getting Your Wording Right\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Invitation wording can vary from formal to the casual or even humorous. Most brides choose the language that matches the formality of the wedding. Usually, for traditional weddings, the couple will opt for more formal language while a more casual wedding might have invitations with more informal language. Some other necessary information to be sure to include: date\/time, location, dress code (if applicable), names of hosts\/couples, etc., so that everyone can plan accordingly. If you have any special instructions or requests, include those in your invite as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Choosing Your Envelope & Mailing Options\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Once you have selected your ideal design and perfect wording, the next step is choosing an envelope<\/a> size (5×7 is the standard) and type (square flap or pointed flap or euro flap). For an extra elegant touch, some brides will also opt for liner sheets with a coordinating pattern or color that matches the rest of their stationery suite. When it comes to mailing, there are many options available depending on how far out your wedding date is \u2013 from standard postage stamps (which will require additional postage if they exceed 1 oz.) to pre-addressed labels with return envelopes ready to go so that all your guests will need to do is sign their name.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your invitations are an essential part of planning your dream wedding because they provide guests with all the necessary details about the occasion \u2013 from theme and style down to date\/time\/location etc. With so many design options available these days \u2013 not to mention envelope sizes & types plus mailing services \u2013 creating a memorable wedding invite can seem daunting at first. But with help from the team at The Invitation Maker<\/a> it can be an easy and fun process! Just remember: when in doubt, go classic!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
