Wedding Invitations and the Right Choice of Paper

written by Isabella - Tuesday, November 8, 2011

Wedding invitations sets your wedding day in stone, because not only does it make a statement out of a particular day the bride will walk down the aisle make an already happy man, happier. And in the same way, the theme of your wedding will transcend from what will be featured on the wedding invitations and into the stationery, décor, attire and other design elements of the wedding too. Finding the right feel and look for your wedding invitations is an important step in planning your wedding.

DreamDay Invitations offers you several options of paper for you to choose from, the Ivory Cotton paper to Textured Linen, and Star Dream Crystal Paper in the luxury range. The Smooth Ivory and Textured Linen paper range are the eco-friendly options of recycled paper at 30% PCW (Post Consumer Waste) offered by DreamDay Invitations.

Depending on the colour you choose, the vibrancy of the design is influenced in the final look. If you choose a darker or bolder colour, the colour is most vibrant with the Star Dream Crystal paper as well as holds the most shine. It also comes with a slight texture, therefore providing you with the lovely feel and look as well. In terms of the classic smooth ivory paper, you tend to have a slight ivory tinge as opposed to stark white (if your design has white included), and it does not have a texture. When it comes to light hues in the design of your wedding invitations, the DreamDay Invitations paper choices tend to have the following looks, where the ivory paper is tinged while the textured linen and star dream crystal paper is closest to white or the intended colour. Therefore, keep this in mind when selecting the option of paper against your wedding invitation design choices, because the final output might vary.

If you are opting for vintage wedding invitations, and the slight yellow tinge is necessary for that authentic vintage look and feel, then the best option is to use smooth ivory paper. However, if you were looking for a crisp effect, with the likes of white being the dominant colour, then either textured linen or DreamDay Invitations’ Star Dream Crystal paper would be ideal. The crystal paper also has a certain shine, and gives off a luxurious look.

In terms of the handmade wedding invitations offered by DreamDay Invitations, they will turn out according to your specifications. After making an appointment with a designer, you may discuss the options available as per your design vision and DreamDay Invitations will make it come true.

 

Planning a Chic Wedding

written by Isabella - Tuesday, September 27, 2011

Do you follow the fashion trends? Keep up with the latest in designer clothes? Or maybe you have developed your own style and it looks good on you. Do you take those extra steps to make sure that you look smart and fashionable, whether you are wearing blue jeans or a dress?  If you are, then you can be described as being “chic”. You’ll want to be able to get Chic invitations without the hassle.

Make it Fun

Your head is still spinning. You lose your breath every time you hear his voice and you are walking around with this big smile on your face all the time. He has asked you to marry him and you’re floating in on air. This is the most important event of your life this far. It will be one of the most wonderful days you will have.

You’re excited, happy and stressed at the same time. There is just so much to do to plan for the wedding and you aren’t even sure where to start. You want everything to be perfect, yet unique. Besides setting the date, you know that invitations are the next task on the list. Take it easy. Slow down. Planning a “Chic” wedding can be fun. Getting the right ‘chic’ wedding invitations doesn’t have to be a hassle.

Do Some Research and Get Some Help

Remember all those girl friends who swore they wanted to be part of your wedding? Now is the time to hold them to that oath. Call them up and give them the good news and then ask them if they are still willing to help.

Invite them to a luncheon. It can even be held at your own home. Have a list ready of the tasks that need to be done and see who will volunteer to take on some of these tasks. You should list items like the decorations, reserving the wedding arena, reserving the reception location, ordering the food, and making phone calls. After the guest list is ready, someone will need to verify information and addresses.

Save the Wedding Invitations for Yourself

There are a few things that need to be done only by you and your fiancé. First, of course, you will want to get the guest list ready so that when the invitations arrive, they can be mailed on time. Then you want to pick where you will be married and where the reception will be held. Last, but not least will be the rings and the invitations.

Picking out wedding invitations that match your “chic” style is simple and easy. You don’t have to run around town to different wedding organizers, print shops, or card shops. There are websites with thousands of designs to choose from.  Vintage, traditional, floral, funky, elegant and seasonal are just a very few of the categories. You can choose from different styles, colours and shapes. The welcome cards, place cards, direction and accommodation cards, and any of your other stationary needs can all be ordered at the same time and delivered with 3-4 days. It’s that simple. No fuss, no muss, no hassle.
