Fairytale Wedding

Though there may be thousands upon thousands of invitation colors and styles to chose from, there are really only three wedding invitation types, or categories. These categories are formal (or traditional), informal and contemporary. Formal invitations are typically white, ivory or cream with black lettering. Informal may be handwritten or pre-printed and Contemporary is pretty much everything else, considered different or modern. There are different types of printing as well, engraving is the most expensive and takes the longest time to complete.  These are also the most regal wedding invitations. If you would like to go with informal, you may utilize the services of a calligrapher or even print your own invitations on your home printer. Consider the style of wedding that you are having when choosing the type of wedding invitations. If you are planning a grand ball then homemade invitations may not be the best match.

After creating your guest list, take the number of guests into consideration before choosing a more expensive avenue. Remember that every guest over the age of 16 should get their own invitation. You’ll also want to double check spellings of names and addresses are correct.
