Inviting Invitations
Your invitation makes the first impression! It sets the tone and should reflect the style of your wedding. So choose your invitation and other stationery to reflect the same importance you place on the rest of your wedding. Make them special.
Choose a stationer who offers a wide variety of styles and prices to select from, and is knowledgeable about wording and type styles. Determine the number to order by figuring one for each married couple and couples who live together, one for each single person and another for his or her date, if invited. (Dates need not be invited, but if they are, they should receive a separate invitation.) A separate invitation is also sent to children who are 16 or older. Don't forget to order an invitation for your officiant, attendants, their dates if invited and both sets of parents. Order several extra invitations for keepsakes, for mistakes (unless you're perfect) and last-minute invitees.
Various types of printing processes are used to print invitations, and they vary in price. Ask to see samples, and make your decision based on what you like and what fits your budget.
