Planning a Wedding and the Right Wedding Invitation
Wedding planning can be a time of stress, hard work, lots of phone calls and lots of running about to and from the church, wedding dressmaker, cake maker and florist. And yet there is often a key area of a wedding that can get overlooked in all the planning.

Just think of he first contact you have with your guests. The first thing people get to tell them you are getting married (especially if you have failed to invite them to the engagement party) is the wedding invitations.

The wedding invite is a crucial part of setting the tone and setting of any big day. While a wedding may be the most important day for any bride and groom, often it can be one of several weddings that guests will have been invited to that year.

So choosing a wedding invitation is just as important as selecting the venue and making it stand out from all those other wedding invites that your guest may have received is also important. However, there are some key factors that can help you when selecting a wedding invitation and can ensure you are sending the right message.

* Ensure the card is printed on good quality paper. Japanese and Italian is often the best.

* Ensure the latest printing methods are used. You want the best printing possible to complement the paper.

* Try and get a card to match the them of your wedding. If its a light hearted affair why not select a humorous wedding card but if you are having a traditional wedding why not try a customised wedding invite.

* Make sure you the cards arrive in plenty of time. If there are any mistakes it can often be too late to correct them. Online wedding invitation s are great for this as you can often see the card on your PC before it arrives so any errors can be picked up in plenty of time.

* Make sure you order enough cards. Prepare for some extra seats as weddings can often grow in size and not having enough invites will mean you have to send a replacement card which may make your guest feel like a replacement guest.
