Tips And Information On Selecting The Best Wedding Invitation Cards

By Laura B Olson


As soon as marriage proposal is accepted, preparing for this important event starts in earnest. There are many fine points that have to be harmonized for a day that goes smoothly. Wedding invites are perhaps a good place to start as these need to go out as other arrangements are finalized.

These invitation cards are one of the details to be arranged. Before choosing the paper that will be used, choose the design and let this be your guide. The design is the starting point as it sets the tone for the event, being the first impression of the upcoming event guests will come across.

Choose a design depending on the kind of event that you will be hosting. If it will be a stately, formal affair, reflect this with invitation cards that are understated. Go for neutral colored paper like gold, silver or shades of white perhaps with a matching ribbon but too many decorations. For a less formal ceremony such as a beach or garden wedding, you have a free hand with the colors and design for the invites which can be as colorful and bright as you wish.

On choosing a design, decided the paper stock it should do on. One of the options available is card stock which is reasonably priced and gorgeous, especially if you use high quality card stock. Choose paper of not exceeding 300 in paper weight if you are posting several invitations as take one stamp.

Another way you can go is getting blank wedding invitations and customizing it with your details and design. The blanks are in most if not all shades and colors to that they can be matched with the theme colors.

You may also decide to go all out and go for the unusual by using rarely used kinds of paper; patterned paper, embossed paper, decorative paper and even scrapbooking paper can be used. There are hundreds types of paper that can be used to make wedding invitation cards.
