When, Who, What and Wording: Wedding Invitation Etiquette
A question that many brides ask us is what are the rules of wedding invitation etiquette. Knowing what to send, when to send it and what the wording should be for each wedding invitation piece can be a little daunting. To help any slightly confused brides out there, here are a few simple rules on wedding invitation etiquette.
The first rule of wedding invitations is to remember to order them well in advance. Typically brides begin their search at least six months before their marriage date. This way you never have to feel rushed, and you can take your time to custom design the affordable letterpress wedding invitation that you have always dreamed of.
While you are searching, make sure to ask your favorite printers if they are offering specials or package deals on affordable letterpress wedding invitation designs.
When thinking about how to word your wedding invitations, consider the event that you are planning. The basic etiquette for wedding invitation wording requires that you match the theme of your wedding invitation wording to the theme of your wedding. If your wedding is going to be a very traditional or religious ceremony, your wedding invitation wording style should reflect this. Likewise if you are planning a beach themed wedding ceremony, your wedding invitation wording can have a lot more flexibility.

Remember to send out your wedding invitations at least six weeks before the event, though it is suggested that you give your guests at least eight weeks. If you are planning a destination themed wedding, give your guests even more time (another four weeks at the very least) to schedule their accommodations and travel details.

Spring Wedding Invitation Stationery Trends
One of the most important parts of picking your wedding invitations is what type of stationery are you going to choose. Wedding invitation stationery comes in many different styles, texture and colors, so knowing what type of stationery to choose for your wedding invitations can be a difficult decision.
Natural Pallets
Spring 2011 brides are moving away from some of the brighter stationery colors of the past and looking for soft, natural colors. Think about off whites and light browns, these stationery colors for wedding invitations are going to be very popular in 2011.

Go Green
Now more than ever, brides are choosing organic, chemical-free paper as well as tree-free recycled cotton paper. Caring about the environment is a trend in every arena, so why not show your guests you care by printing your wedding invitations on eco-friendly paper?

Texture
A wonderful addition to the deep impression of letterpress wedding invitation printing is a complimentary stationery texture. There are a thousand and one different styles of texture in the world of stationery, so consider taking a little extra time and find the perfect stationery texture to use with your wedding invitation design.

Wedding Announcements and Wedding Invitations Instructions
For your wedding, it is important to know when to send wedding announcement cards and when to use wedding invitations. Both of these wedding items have a specific purpose and should be used accordingly. Here are a few simple tips on when to send a wedding invitation or a wedding announcement.
Wedding announcements are typically sent to guests that are not invited to the actual wedding ceremony and are mailed after the event. This serves as a reminder or an official announcement that you and your fiancé have tied the knot. For destination weddings with a limited seating capacity, wedding announcements are a perfect way to notify all your friends and family that your nuptials have taken place.

Sending wedding invitations to your guests is typically the way that brides announce and invite their friends and family to their wedding celebration. Wedding invitations should only be sent to individuals that you would actually like to come to your ceremony or celebration.

Send your wedding invitations at least 6-8 weeks before the actual event. This allows your guests enough time to save the date on their calendars, make any needed travel and accommodation arrangements, shop for clothes and gifts.
After receiving her daughter’s wedding invitations, Carol said :
“I want to thank you for all the help and work on Annie’s invites. The invitation was a standard for us to hold the rest of the wedding decor to. It also was one of the most beautiful pieces of stationery ever! Once again, thanks for capturing a vision and making it a reality.” ~ Fondly, Carol (mother of the bride)

To help your bridal wedding invitation search and give you all the proper etiquette ideas that you will need, here is a quick little list of dos and don’ts in the bridal wedding invitation arena.

Don’t wait until the last minute to address and send out your bridal wedding invitations. It is customary to mail your invitations 6-8 weeks before the event.
Do invite your friends over to help you stuff and address your invites.
Don’t overpay for your bridal wedding invitations. Shop around and shop smart.
Do look for specials on affordable letterpress bridal invitation designs. Finding package deal on letterpress printing can save you a fortune.
Don’t make guests pay for their own return postage for your invitations. Using rsvp postcards is a trendy way to reduce the cost for your reply cards.
Do open your wedding invitations as if you were a guest. Small details such as an envelope liner can add a delightful touch to your invitation set.
Don’t ask for his or her specific gifts at the wedding (0r include registry information). Save this for the bridal shower invitation.
Do include specific clothing requirements or wedding themes in your invitations:

Weird, Wacky and Wonderful Wedding Invitations
One of the best parts about blogging about letterpress wedding invitation designs is I get to see some of the most amazing wedding invitation ideas around. Recently when searching for fun wedding invitation idea and themes, I stumbled upon a site that had five of the most unique wedding invitation ideas I had ever seen.
While these are not letterpress wedding invitations, they remind me of how important custom, personalized and unique wedding invitation ideas really are. If you are a bride that loves to be creative, consider integrating a funny theme or your favorite movie into your wedding invitation design.
This full color wedding invitation mimics a movie poster, and follows the trend of adding an image of the bride and groom into the wedding invitation design.
Taking part of their vows to the visual extreme, this couple made a custom wedding invitation with a ‘haunting’ theme.
Somewhere between a computer and a wedding invitation, this custom wedding invitation design almost fools the reader into thinking they are holding the world’s lightest laptop.
While most brides would probably prefer to insert their best photo into their wedding invitation, this couple’s ruffled look fits the profile.
This custom wedding invitation tells the long version of true love’s story. Though this couple may have added a few more details than necessary, I admire their unique sense of style.
When thinking about your custom wedding invitation ideas, don’t be afraid to go for the gold and do something completely out of the ordinary.
