Styles of Invitation
The wedding invitation should reflect the style of the wedding. This gives
the guests an idea of what to expect. For example a formal invitation on heavy
embossed card with classic typeface would indicate a formal wedding whereas a
hand written invitation would indicate a more informal gathering.
Hand Written Invitations
A hand written invitation is ideal for small, informal weddings. The personal
touch is often appreciated by those invited.
Shop-Bought Invitations
There is a wide variety of styles of invitations available in stationery
shops and newsagents and it should be easy to find something appropriate for
most styles of wedding. This type of invitation has spaces to fill in the for
the appropriate information, such as the couple's names and wedding location.
Bespoke Invitations
Many printers specialise in wedding stationery and will allow the couple to
design invitations to their own specification. They will also help in the design
by presenting a variety of styles of invitation which can be modified to the
couple's taste. There is a selection of colours, typefaces, borders, motiffs,
drawings, embossed print, and even incorporation of ribbons to choose from which
result in a highly personalised invitation.
All the details of the wedding are incorporated into the invitation except
for the guests' names which are written in by hand to give a personal touch.
It is essential to check the proofs before the invitations are printed and
perhaps ask several people to double check. Small errors in times, dates or
locations can ruin the day if not corrected.
It take about two to three weeks from ordering to receiving the finished
invitations.
Wording
Traditionally, the wording on invitations has been formal to reflect the
seriousness of the occasion. Today it is acceptable to be less formal if the
couple wish. They may adapt the traditional wording or choose their own.
Certain information should be included, irrespective of the style of invitation:
- hosts
- the couple
- relationship of bride to the hosts
- wedding ceremony venue and/or reception venue
- time and date
- RSVP
- Address to reply
