Wedding Invitations

Wedding shower invitations should lay out all of the necessary information, yet still be attractive. One way to do this is to have a picture engraved on the invitation. Ask your engraver to add a small design on the inside of your invitation or wherever you have information about the reception. If, for example, an ice cream social is your theme see if there is an ice cream cone or Sundae dish they can emboss onto the paper without taking away from the main body of the invitation.

Remember that subtlety is stylish; you don't want to come across as overpowering with your theme.

Weding Invitation Wording

I just received this message about wedding invitation wording and thought I should pass it on:

Dear Peter,

I was just reading your blog and appreciated you touching on Wedding
Invitation Wording. I'm soon to be married and in the process of
finding the right words.

I came across a great site that really helped me figure out wording.
Perhaps you'd like to share this with fellow readers.

It's called the Wedding Wording Wizard. It includes a short
questionnaire that got a feel for my personality, style, and reception
plans. Based on my answers it then wrote an invitation that was
tailored just for me!!! I really loved playing around with it.

It can be found at: http://www.optimalprint.co.uk/wedding-text-wizard

Thanks a bunch and keep up the good work!

Jenny

Hope its useful for you too! Don't forget to visit Dream Weddings Main Site

The Perfect Wedding Dress

You want the perfect wedding dress, so you have made it a major focus of your pre wedding planning. There are some things you need to find from the bridal shop, before you even look at your first gown.

Do you need to make an appointment to visit the shop? Does the store carry dresses you can afford Can you browse the whole collection, or do you only get to see the dresses the sales person chooses for you? If this shop doesn't carry the dress you love, can it be ordered?

Once these questions have been answered and you find a dress or two that you like, there are still more questions you need to ask.

  • Can a particular dress be ordered with different sleeves, or neckline?
  • What alterations can be done and what will that cost?
  • Can you get a written estimate on the alterations?
  • If we order the bridesmaids dresses here, can we get a discount or free alterations?
  • Do you have headpieces and or veils that will go with my dress?
  • How much is the deposit and when is the balance due? What are the cancellation and refund policies?
  • Can we get a Rush on this dress if necessary?

These are the most important questions to ask, but you will probably have some of your own. Beware of any shop that won't give you straight answers or written estimates. When you think you have found just the right dress, ask if they can hold it for a day or two, then go home wait at least 24 hours and go back for another look.

If you still love it, then go right ahead and buy it. Read the article...

Wedding Invitation Wording and Etiquette

Both the wedding invitation wording and the look of the wedding invitations you send will not only says a lot about you and your husband-to-be they will also convey a fair amount of information about your upcoming ceremony. So it is important to plan the type of wedding you will have before you make any decisions about your invitations.

Based upon the quality of the paper stock, lettering, color and design you select, recipients are likely to make a determination about the formality or informality of the event, thus how they should dress. The color of your invitations may suggest the color scheme of your wedding. The quality of the paper may indicate how elaborate or simple you wedding will be.

Wedding Invitation Wording - Saying It With The Right Words

Today, there are so many different kinds of families-traditional, blended, divorced, etc.-that it's no wonder brides are often concerned about how to word their invitations without breaching any rules of etiquette. The stationer you will likely be visiting soon will have more samples of wording than you will want to see. For now though, I'll let you glance at a few of the more commonly used forms. These all fall under the category "traditional."
