Posted by admin | Under Wedding Invitation Kits Sunday Apr 24, 2011
Everything about your wedding, starting with your wedding invitations whether you choose from an array of wedding invitation kits or you opt to do it yourself should reflect your own personal style.This is your day and you want it to be uniquely yours. Since your wedding invitations are an introduction to your wedding, they should reflect your personalities and styles.
First, you want to begin early. When you have chosen the colors and look for your wedding party, get to work on your wedding invitations. It’s usually best if you can send the cards out two or three months before wedding.

Decide on a “reply by” date: When you are down to the final stages of planning it is very important to find out how many people are coming. First of all, decide whether you’re going to utilize reply cards or just provide an RSVP phone number. After that, decide upon a “reply by” date that is three or four weeks ahead of the wedding. You might not need quite this amount of leeway, but keep in mind people are busy and may forget to reply in time.
Plan all aspects at one time: When you’re designing the envelopes, invitations, and respond cards, get it done all together. This way, all elements will complement each other, and you won’t have to worry about not being able to find the right-sized envelopes. This is where buying wedding invitation kits comes in handy. Everything matches but still leaves room for your own creativity. If you go the route of buying a wedding invitation kit, be sure to purchase a little more paper than you need in the event there are mistakes. This will avoid any last minute fixes and will help relieve stress.
The wording on your invitations is an important consideration. Try to make your textual content classy and conventional. Don’t worry if you aren’t sure of the exact information to include. There are plenty of helpful cheat sheets online. Just make sure that all the practical details are clear. When you’re done, be sure you proofread every detail. In addition, get some one else to proof the text for punctuation and spelling. It’s very disheartening to see dozens of invitations printed up with a typo!
Choose the perfect font: It is crucial to use typeography which matches the design of the wedding invitations for both DIY and wedding invitation kits. It is every bit as important for the invitees to be able to read the text without effort. Keep in mind that older guests don’t have the eyesight that you do! Find the perfect balance between the two. The font you choose can also reflect the type of wedding. For a formal wedding you may choose

Above all enjoy the process. Wedding invitation kits can reduce the stress of creating invitations completely on your own without sacrificing creativity.
Photo Wedding Invitations
Posted by admin | Under DIY Wedding Invitations Sunday Apr 3, 2011Everyone loves weddings. Why not add a little something extra to your wedding invitations? Why not create photo wedding invitations? Many of the invitations printed these days come with photos of the happy couple taken with the aid of a digital camera.
Pictures taken from digital cameras are easy to process and convert into picture wedding invitations.
[phpbay]photo wedding invitations, 12, “”, “”[/phpbay]
Here are some ideas to consider in designing your photo wedding invitations:
- Choose a traditional pose in an unusual surrounding. For example formal attire at the beach.
- Tell a story. Take your picture where you met or got engaged.
- A silhouette shot can look amazing. Take your shot at sunset on the beach or any skyline or in a field of flowers.
- Tinting your photos is another option. Just like traditional black and white or sepia you can tint with pink or blue or green; whatever colour to match your wedding colours. A lightly tinted photo can transform a plain wedding invitation. Adding a splash of colour to a black and white photo in one or two places is fast gaining in popularity.
Photo Wedding Invitations - Ideas - Add a Splash of Color
Make the sky blue, color the flowers yellow, or paint your shoes a bright red. Far from distracting, it can really make your photo wedding invitation pop!
These tips will make the photos for your wedding invitations absolutely spectacular. It’s amazing how much impact a single effect can have, but you can’t miss the results when you see your finished wedding invitations pictures!
What you’ll need to create Wedding Photo Invitations:
- Digital Photograph(s) of the two of you:You likely already have some great photos of the two of you in digital format on your computer. If not you can scan a printed picture.
- A Color Printer (or access to one): All you really need is an inkjet or deskjet printer. You really dont need a laserjet printer. Alternatively you can create your wedding photo invitations at home and pay to have them printed professionally. The price of printing colour photo cards has dropped dramatically.
- Greeting Card or Graphics Software With the right software, you’ll create beautiful photo invitations, in just a few hours, that your friends and family will rave over.There are tons of greeting card and graphics software programs available. Photo Explosion Deluxe and Greeting Card Factory Deluxe are a couple of examples.
- Good photo-quality card paper. Be sure to use a good photo quality card stock. There is a big difference in brands and varieties. This is the biggest mistake people make. Using a low quality card stock will make your photo wedding invitations look amateur. Go so far as to purchasing a small quantity of various brands and thicknesses and try printing out your invitation.
Now that you have all of the necessary items…
Follow your software instructions and remember that with wedding invitations, the K.I.S.S. rule (Keep It Simple…) applies and a simple design is just about always best.
Printing in Color or Black and White?
Whether you should create black and white or color photo wedding invitations depends on what style you’re going for. Black and white photos can lend an elegance and timelessness to cards and invitations. But, of course, color photo invitations can feel more modern and grab your attention.
Keep in mind that, if you choose a black and white photo, you’ll STILL most likely want to print them in color. Otherwise, you’ll end up without the lovely yellows that warm a typical black and white photo. Try printing once each way, in color and in black-white, and look at the difference. If there IS none, then you can save money by printing in black and white.
Incorporating photographs into your wedding invitations whether you are choosing from an array of wedding invitation kits or are a DIY wedding invitations gal they will add a personal touch that your friends and family will appreciate. Most importantly, make sure the invitation design is uniquely the two of you and you’ll be sure to be proud of it. Whatever you decide, enjoy creating your photo wedding invitations!

Guidelines for Creative Wedding Invitations
Posted by admin | Under Wedding Invitation Etiquette, Wedding Invitation Kits Friday Jul 9, 2010
One of the most vital elements of a wedding is the invitation. The wedding invitation is your guests first impression of your wedding. So of course you want it to be perfect. You want it to be unique. Creative wedding invitations can best be achieved when you take the do-it-yourself route. Creative wedding invitations will not only mirror the theme of your wedding but will also provide a personal glimpse of you as a couple.
[phpbay]wedding invitation designs, 12, “”, “”[/phpbay]
There are many websites which have kits that you can easily assemble with step by step instructions. The main goal of wedding invitation kits is to give you the do-it-yourself option without looking homemade. They come with a list of inclusions that go with the invitation: RSVP card, hotel info, directions and reception info. It’s also a good idea to include a list of local attractions and activities for out of town guests.
You can let your creative juices flow once you have the main structure in place. When you are doing it yourself you become the proof reader. Sloppy content is a big faux pas. Proof read your invitation copy several times both on your computer screen as well as the printed version. Your copy can look different from screen to paper so be sure to check before you print off a bunch of copies!
Another important tip is to buy or create your envelopes before you make the invitation to be sure that the invite will fit. You also want to get the complete invitation weighed to ensure you affix the proper postage. Creative wedding invitations can get quite heavy quickly depending on how decorative you are. You really want to avoid having your invitations returned due to insufficient postage! The post office can have special wedding stamps with the postage amount for the average wedding. There are also websites that offer vintage stamps.
Follow these simple guidelines to achieve your unique and creative wedding invitations.
DIY Wedding Invitations
Posted by admin | Under DIY Wedding Invitations Wednesday Jun 2, 2010Every bride wants the perfect wedding. Making it affordable during the current economic crisis makes it a challenge. Rest assured there are ways to make your wedding look beautiful without breaking the bank. Today I want to talk to you about DIY wedding invitations.
After setting the date for the wedding day it is time to make the wedding invitations. It is advisable to send out the wedding invitation for at least two months prior to the wedding day.
[phpbay]diy wedding invitations, 12, “”, “”[/phpbay]
Creating your own wedding invitations is a great way to give style and personality to your wedding. As an added bonus it is an innovative technique to keep your wedding costs down. Do-it-yourself wedding invitations range from handwritten cards to those you print at home with the help of wedding invitation kits or templates.
Now you may be concerned that they’ll look ‘homemade’ rather than ‘handmade’. This will require buying your card stock, creating the design template, cutting the paper and printing the invitations – the whole works! To get that professional look you need to use the highest quality paper your budget will allow. There is nothing worse than flimsy cards and paper. They are a big no-no. This will give a premium look and feel. Before buying the blank DIY invitations, confirm whether your printer can printout in the particular paper type.
Embellishments such as little charms or jewels add a touch of luxury. Rich satin or beaded ribbons will enhance your design. Remember ‘less is more’ and you will achieve that stylish, professional finish. Images need to be of the high resolution. Most screen images are only 72dpi and will look grainy when printed. You want to go for at least 300dpi.
Creating your own wedding invitations is not always a cost saving measure. If you get carried away with adding more details and accessories they can end up costing more than if you bought them from a dealer. Not to mention the time and added stress. There are plenty of exciting, innovative DIY wedding invites which can be created by brides of varying levels of crafting without the need to spend more money or time. This is a great solution for the brides who are cost-conscious, but not very eager to design the entire wedding invitation. Just bear in mind the cost and availability of materials and time before embarking on the project.
A DIY wedding invitation is also more flexible. You can easily make changes without worrying that you’ve already sent the file to a 3rd party. Add things as you please since you are the one doing everything anyway. You can always go back to what you have done, look at its progress and change things as you see fit any time.
You want your invitation to be totally unique. When you choose this option you should be able to create truly distinctive and beautiful invitations that live up to your expectations in style, theme and personality.

Wedding Invitation Ideas- Elegance on a Budget
Posted by admin | Under Wedding Invitation Ideas Monday Sep 7, 2009Whether you want your wedding elegant or casual, there are plenty of wedding invitation ideas you can use to create that one of a kind look for your special day. One relatively cheap technique for creating beautiful wedding invitations is using traditional scrap booking ideas. There are plenty of scrap booking ideas that can work for you regardless of the type of wedding theme or color scheme you choose.
Patterned paper can give invitations a very pretty look, including framing the page with your paper, using patterned paper instead of plain traditional white, or alternate paper for a richer “layered” look. Some other scrap booking techniques like adding glitter to the page to give that “wow” look or attaching ribbons for color also work well. You could also used embossed stickers for dimension and style.
Not into scrap-booking?
Wedding invitation kits are a great option. Create a modern look by designing your own invitations with your husband-to-be. You can add ribbons, monograms, add your own font and color scheme to really make it personal and stand out from the traditional invitations. They include accessories and add-ons in some beautiful colors to accent the overall design. Some come with small pocket-style jackets, colorful organza bows, sheer stickers or designed seals. Some other great ideas that can add that special sparkle and won’t break the bank include adding colors – jewel tones are a lovely accent to any card. Here is a great how to video on creating an elegant and beautiful invitation.
Traditionally, white has and always will be the wedding color with gold, silver, off-white and pastel shades for accents or wording. But instead of traditional colors, why not try using bolder colors with the same designs? Modern invitations do not have to be soft pastel or white colors, nor do they have to be neon, but a bolder, richer look just might be the thing that sets the invitation apart from the rest. Think how lovely a red or plum traditional invitation would look and how it might just express your personality so much more than the classic colors.
Let your invitation represent you and set your creativity free. You can create an elegant and beautiful one of a kind invitation by playing with colors and letting your imagination loose a little. Another great wedding invitation idea – include a photograph of you and your soon to be spouse.
Remember, your wedding invitation is an announcement of your commitment to one another. What better way to show the world this than to include one of your favorite photographs of the two of your together. This will not only create a beautiful invitation but it will be a keepsake and a memory to have forever. This also gives your guests a great memento of your wedding and they can choose to frame it or keep it as a memento of the happy couple. It is also more personal and adds that special touch that might be missed going the traditional route.
Your invitations can have that customized look without that customized price tag. Just utilizing a few wedding invitation ideas and exploring your creative side can lead to fun, memory filled moments that you will cherish for the rest of your life.
