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.

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.
