Most people start on their wedding planning as soon as they get engaged and if you have just recently become engaged, then ‘Congratulations’ to you and your fiancé.  The essence of the initial stages of planning for the wedding involves figuring out a date, where some couple opt to send out Save the Date Cards, the venue and the guest list. Now, even for you to send out the Save the Date cards for the wedding, you should have a good idea on who you are going to invite, via wedding invitation, so that you don’t face any embarrassment later on when reviewing the guests you sent out your save the date cards and the list that you want to send out your wedding invitations to.

Regardless, some couples opt to not send out save the date cards, maybe due budget constraints, or purely to make their wedding invitations a hit, and one way that you can do so is with illustrated wedding invitations that are the talk of the industry. There are many reasons why you a couple would choose to go with illustrations for your wedding invitations, based on their inspiration or even because they just like the look of it all. If you are inspired by your venue, for example, if it’s at the beach, in your backyard or a garden or even at a hall, you can draw your inspiration from the details, from the seashells, to the flowers, to the birds and scenery and even design elements such as structures and so forth, to make your illustrated wedding invitations a true hit with the invitees.

Based on the inspirations and maybe even the theme of the wedding, you can plan out how the wedding invite masterpiece will come to be. You have several options, you can choose a professional invitations retailer, such as DreamDay Invitations and rifle through their collections to find the right one for you, or you could opt for the DIY wedding invitations route and have the illustrations either drawn separately and printed on or have them hand painted on each and every wedding invitation.  Whichever way you choose, you are assured of a wonderful result.

There are numerous ways in which the illustration can be done, either professionally or DIY, and those would involve the usual printing route to screen printing, and of course painting with watercolours or your choice of material. What you are striving for with these illustrated wedding invitations is creativity mingled with uniqueness, and I believe you’ve hit the mark.

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.

Have you ever helped a friend plan their wedding? If you have, then you already understand all the tasks that need to be done. Did they have an organized way of getting things done? In many instances things were all muddled up and disorganized.  Now, it’s your turn. The man of your dreams has just asked you to marry him and you said yes.

Remember the experiences you have had helping friends plan their weddings, engagement parties, receptions, birthday parties and anniversary parties. Remember all of the events you have attended and remember the planning and problems they had. By bringing all of this back to your memory, you can easily see where mistakes were made and avoid the same mistakes in your planning.

Decide the Best Time to Pick Your Wedding Invitations

Most people want to start picking wedding invitations the very first thing, but there are a few things that need to be decided before you start to pick out your wedding invitations. One of the very first things you will want to consider is the wedding theme. What colors do you plan to use, what atmosphere are you getting married in, and what kind of dresses will you, the brides maids and maid of honor wear.

When you have an idea of the colors and theme you are going to use, then you need to find out if the hall, Church, or other interesting place you want to be married at is available on the date you have chosen.  If it is, reserve it right away. Now it is time to start working on everything else.

Some people wait until they know everything is in place; have everything ordered before they start picking out their wedding invitations. Other people find their inspiration from looking through wedding invitations first. Whichever works best for you will be the right way. Looking is fine, but don’t order them until you know the date is set and the reservations are made.

Finding the Right Place to Pick Your Wedding Invitations

At last there is an easy way to pick your wedding invitations now. You no longer have to go to the printers or a wedding shop and look through books of samples for hours on end. You no longer have to go back to see a sample of your invitation and make corrections or changes, and you no longer need to wait weeks for delivery and hope it is on time.

You can now pick your wedding invitations on the internet. You can find just about any style, color scheme or subject theme you want. They come in many styles, stationary types, and colors. You can find package deals that include everything you will need including RSVP, direction and registry cards, accommodation cards, thank you cards, and plus much more. You can expect delivery in 2-4 days, which will give you plenty of time to get them mailed out early enough.

You can order your engagement party cards, wedding stationary needs, accessories like place cards, name tags, center pieces and link to many more sites for other wedding needs like limousine service, wedding cakes and even seamstress and wedding apparel stores.

Finally, planning your wedding, picking your wedding invitations and getting everything else set up became as easy as turning on your computer and going online. It is so much simpler than sitting at home and staying on hold while you try to get all the arrangements made, or running all over town trying to accomplish everything.

There’s nothing more romantic than taking a stroll by the beach, taking in the sunset, and watching it go over the horizon. It’s almost magical and is something that signifies many things put together, be it embarking on a journey on a life, new beginnings and much more. The beach in itself is a beautiful place for anything that beckons romance is deemed so, and many couples opt to host their most special day by the beach.

You know something that keeps coming back in style like a boomerang? Black and silver used in wedding elements all over the world, that’s what! But it’s not just Australia, you will find these colours everywhere from the decor of table arrangements and of course not forgetting an important factor in all weddings, yes; I am talking about wedding invitations.

The great thing about black and silver with wedding invitations is that the possibilities are endless. You can find invites of any shape and size, but with these two colour couplings, the way you bring together the final outlook in presentations is just marvelous.  You have design styles that sprout from the middle ages and even the Egyptian era of Cleopatra mingling with guests as they receive your wedding invite and find themselves in awe of the design. With the silver that will be coupled with black, you find yourself with that added ‘oomph’ that many people are looking for when they do not want to restrict  one of their important wedding elements from looking too simple. Silver allows you to have that shimmer, maybe via foil printing or glitter embossing if that is a possibility.

So what can you do when you choose black and silver for your wedding theme, and ultimately the important pieces of paper that represents your wedding (apart from the marriage certificate itself)? Well, there are so many ways in which that presentation can come together. It all depends on your choice of size. Do you want it to be square, rectangle, or maybe in a shape that is different from everything. Do you want folded, or pocket wedding invitations, which allows you to include your other wedding stationery that accompanies your invite in a neat and tidy manner. Do you have some inspiration for your theme, something that will help in ensuring your design comes together in a perfect flow? These are just some things that you need to think and consider when you are planning your wedding stationery. And once you do, it’s time to shop.

Shopping for black and silver wedding invitations can actually go down in a few ways. One way is to sift through some designs that are available, and if you are lucky you can even customise them to your liking and even start printing your guests name together with your order. The other way of going about it, is having professionals make it for you, to your liking in a perfectly orchestrated plan. Or you could make it yourself, adding your personal touch. Now that you’ve found yourself some insight into what you can do, you are set to start on your adventure for your wedding invitations. Good luck!

All Wedding Invitation designs have matching and co-ordinated accessories available to further enhance your theme, making Dreamday Invitations a one-stop online shop for all your Wedding Stationery needs.

Weddings are such pleasant and traditional affair, as you bask in the love of the happy couple and their nuptials, and as family and friends meet and mingle with one another wedding etiquette is an important point to remember. From the way you word your invite to the inclusion of various elements, there is much to ponder on and DreamDay Invitations offers you the simple feature on our website to customise them at will, and also have them proofed to make sure that everything is in order.

So what does wedding invitation etiquette actually entail? First off you have to consider who will be inviting the guests. That is, who is indeed hosting and also paying for the wedding. This person, or people, should be given the honour of inviting your family and friends to this joyous occasion. There are various ways to word it of course, depending on who is hosting the ceremony and reception. According to wedding invitation etiquette, there can be several parties who can be considered as the inviting hosts, and DreamDay Invitations allows you to choose which party will be mentioned as the host via customising the invitation wording prior to printing. Let’s look at the various ways in which you can do so by means of the parties hosting the event;

-          Bride’s parents

-          Groom’s parents

-          Bride & Groom

-          Both parents

The above are the customary parties that are involved, but there can be instances if the family is larger, which involves step parents, grandparents and even other relatives helping out with the financials, you can opt to include them in the wedding invitation etiquette by honouring their name.  Let’s look at how DreamDay Invitations offers by default on its wedding invitation with etiquette in mind;

Mr and Mrs Frank Turner request the pleasure of the company of “guest’s name” at the Marriage of their daughter

However, there are many things to consider apart from the honorific mentions. You should also look into things out of the norm. For example, the best way to address the invitation when inviting an unmarried couple would be to include the woman’s name first. When you are inviting a whole family to your wedding which could for instance include either two brothers or two sisters, then the older sibling’s name should appear first. However, if they are both over eighteen years old, then each should receive their own invite and if you wish you can also include a partner, as their plus one in the form of “Mr. John Smith and Guest”.

If however the bride and groom are organising and paying for their own wedding, then the invitation should come from them only.

“Samantha Jane Moors(Bride name) and Justin Jack White(Groom name) request the pleasure of the company of ……….”

You can add parents names by adding “daughter of Mr and Mrs Frank Moors’ or ‘Son of Mrs and Mrs Jack White’ after each of the bride and groom names if you wish to acknowledge your parents.

There are many options and different arrangements you can use to word your wedding invitations. What you choose will depend upon your own circumstances and wishes, and will be different for everyone.

As long as you word it politely it can be traditional or more modern wordings, but remember to organise and prepare carefully in plenty of time before you order your wedding invitations. Reprints can be costly exercise if you don’t get it right the first time.

DreamDay Invitations makes all this easy for you, for your comfort, all at your fingertips.

But talking about paper and how to maximise savings on them, one could opt to use various textures which would not compromise on the quality of your budget wedding invitations.
