Things to Consider When Selecting Wedding Invitations

Wedding invitations are a significant part of the wedding event and should be chosen carefully.  Once you have the colors and theme nailed down, it is time to begin planning for the invitations.  With your budget and theme in mind, selecting your wedding invitations is the next step in planning.

Inviting Concepts provide a large selection of wedding invitations that will best suit you taste and careful considerations. Below are some of the most important things to consider when selecting your wedding invitations. 

1.    Cost

If you are on a tight budget for the wedding, invitations can be purchased in bulk and at reasonable prices.  Selecting a pre-printed design is an economical way of purchasing invitations.  If price is no object, boxed and tri-fold invites are an elegant approach. Prices are reasonable and never inflated at Inviting Concepts.  A wide range of styles and prices are available.

2.    Postage

The postage fees should also be considered when choosing wedding invitations.  If the wedding invitation is housed in a box or satchel, it is important to remember that increased postage fees will be incorporated.  Postage fees must also be applied to the reply card envelope, so the style or size should be kept at a minimum cost if you are on a budget. 

3.    Color, design and style

When choosing the color, design and style of the wedding invitation, the theme of the wedding ceremony should be kept in mind.  The colors should complement the shades and hues used in the wedding.  When the guests receive their invitations, they are able to get a glimpse of what the wedding ceremony will look like. 

Embellishments, ribbons, seals or monograms are all nice touches that can be added to the invitation.  All embellishments can be color coordinated with the wedding accents and theme in mind. 

4.    Size of Invitation

The size of the invitation determines the postage and cost.  If the envelope is an unusual size, the post office may require additional fees to mail the invitation.  If you are on a tight budget, the size of the invitation is something to consider.  As discussed, postage fees are not only on the invitation itself, but also on the reply card envelope.  Be careful to choose a small postcard sized envelope that requires only minimal postage on the reply card if budget is a concern.

5.    Location of the wedding

The wedding location can greatly determine the style of wedding invitation.  Beach themed weddings or garden affairs require something a bit less formal.  Inviting Concepts offers beach themed invitations that show off a warm sunset or sand etched heart.  Outdoor weddings are typically less formal and require a wedding invitation that is more modern in style.  Remember the guests are getting a glimpse of the wedding, so you don’t want a formal black and white invitation to arrive prior to your beach themed wedding.

Contemporary and casual designs are great for wedding locations that are not in a place of worship.  Outdoor weddings can be informal and the wedding invitation should reflect the style of event.
