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.

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.

written by Jenny - Wednesday, September 14, 2011

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.

black and silver wedding invitations

written by admin - Wednesday, June 8, 2011

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.

Wedding Invitation Etiquette Ideas.

written by Jenny - Wednesday, March 30, 2011

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.

Wedding Invitations Australia

written by Jenny - Thursday, March 17, 2011

Haven’t you heard? Marriages down under are on the rise! Yes, my friend that is true, more and more people are getting married with over a hundred thousand marriages occurring in the last year alone. Phew, that’s a hefty number, but nevertheless a great one, because this is what the world needs, happiness and unity and a marriage is just that, and much more.

One thing for sure, with every wedding comes the wedding planning and that constitutes many wedding elements that must be set in motion, one of which include wedding invitations and Australia brims with all these service providers, so don’t fret on your choices, because you’ve got many! When it comes to wedding invitations from Australia, you needn’t worry about the lack of designs because you will be thronged with possibilities in various colours, designs, embellishments and so on. What needs to be kept in mind that this great nation has much to offer in terms of inspiration and that’s what it’s all about! Drawing inspiration from everything truly lets your wedding invitations take wings by gracefully intertwining the traces of designs with things from everyday life. Be it a design taken from a nearby building or one of the city that has stood the test of time and lived to tell a tale, or the flora and foliage of the green lung of the city, drawing inspiration by including the homogeneous flowers  and much more, which we will get to later on.

With unique wedding invitations from Australia, you are sure to have them made to suit the styling and the norms that you are accustomed to and will reflect much of what is found in the Australian wedding market to date. If you want to go for something a bit more different, then don’t fret, because the whole point of relating it to the land is to add a few personalization here and there, making the wedding invitations truly yours. However, it’s best to keep in mind that there are more ways than being inspired by the flowers of the land, or the buildings of the surroundings, to add that uniqueness to your wedding invitations from Australia. What you’ll need to do is find that little inspiration from the odd nook and cranny and use it in the invites to blend together amicably. It could be really anything, the scenery, the fauna, and much more. Take a walk down the city and find out what truly strikes you inspiring.

Wedding invitations stationery

written by admin - Wednesday, March 2, 2011

Wedding invitations and stationery that accompanies it is a very important wedding element in the whole gist of wedding planning. First and foremost, the wedding invitations are what the guests and invitees receive as announcement of the wedding, thus inviting them to share the joy with you and are done way in advance of the wedding date. Therefore, the designing of your wedding invitations and the stationery will be one of the first things taken care of when wedding planning starts.

Now, most people think that it’s only the wedding invitations that are sent out, but that’s not always the case. With the wedding invitations, the stationery will too be sent out, and this can include the likes of reply cards or R.S.V.P. cards, map and directions, and also accommodation cards. Out of the stationery included, the reply cards are quite important as you will need the invitees to get back with the fact that they will indeed be attending this blessed event.

When it comes to the wedding invitations and the stationery, there is something that needs to be decided beforehand which will in fact affect the outlook of the wedding itself, and that is the theme you hope to have for the special day. Based on this, you can style and design the entire look of the wedding invitations and the stationery too, to make sure it blends together seamlessly. Some popular themes are floral, beach and garden wedding themes are available along with modernity and elegance.

Wedding invitations can be styled in many ways, one-sided or even folded in many ways, double-fold and tri-fold. The invites taking precedence over the other wedding stationery, this will be take centre stage and be the highlight of the wedding invitations and stationery bundle. Most of the invites have pockets to carry the other stationery, which is in fact convenient as it will include everything together in one place, very neatly.

Wedding Invitations Design

When it comes to the design of your wedding invitations, as mentioned before, if you have a theme in mind you can follow that same theme. If not, you can start on it a theme for the wedding invitations and stationery, that way allowing for a harmoniously blend between the wedding stationery.

Wedding Stationery Elements

Your wedding stationery is just as important as the wedding invitations, and as mentioned will include the reply cards and so forth. However, when designing the wedding stationery you might want to customise those design aspects according to the stationery element itself. It will also be great if you can design and set aside the Thank You cards which will be sent at a later stage.  Once you have both the wedding invitations and stationery ready, you can send them out to the invitees inviting them to join in the celebration.

Some colours that couples have chosen in the past include various shades of turquoise, citrus green, sunset shades of oranges, pinks and magenta, or pretty pastels, or the colours of the rainbow all give a warm feeling of summer. With much to go with, these colours have the ability to lighten up a room and truly compliment the theme of the wedding, and can be used from the wedding invitations, for the ceremony and through the reception decor.

As mentioned before, summer weddings are very often held outdoors, at the beach or maybe out in the gardens alongside nature, and what better way to embed that summer wedding feeling into your wedding plans than with a glimpse of what’s to come with summer wedding invitation designs. Use flowers such as Roses, Cherry Blossoms, Chrysanthemums and more that would reflect the garden wedding theme, and the likes of tropical flowers such as Orchids, Frangipani, and Lilies, would blend wonderfully in a beach wedding. You can incorporate many varied themes, images and embellishments into your summer wedding invitations to make them your own.

Take a look at the summer wedding invitations offered by DreamDay Invitations and pick one that you like, we have a great collection and we assure you, you won’t be disappointed.

Your Wedding Photographer – How to choose

written by Isabella - Friday, October 8, 2010

Your wedding photos are going to be your lifetime memory of your special day and as such,  care should be taken when choosing a photographer. There are no second chances when it comes to your wedding photos!

  • Your budget – If you don’t have clue how much professional photography costs you should visit several photographers and get quotes to help you determine a budget before making your decision. Do your homework and make sure you understand what everything costs, for the photographer himself, and then your prints, albums etc.  Never hire the first photographer you visit.
  • Type of photographic style you want – Do you want your photos to be classical and formal? Do you want a more relaxed and casual feel to the photos? Or do you prefer a very candid style of photo? Do you want full colour or would you like some produced in Black and White style. A popular and more realistic casual approach is these days called photojournalism. This is more of a story told in your photographs where no “formal posed” photos are taken. Photos are taken as your day progresses and moments are captured in a more  relaxed style. Does the photographer have a variety of lens for different styled shots?
  • Personality and appearance of the photographer. – Be certain to determine who will be your photographer  on the day. Some companies will send ‘whoever is available’ so you need to clarify who will take your photos and see their own individual portfolio. Each different photographer will have their own individual style. Make it clear what you are looking for and that your photographer understands completely your requests. And grooming tells a story. You need him to be able to blend in as just another guest at your wedding for the best candid shots. You don’t want a flamboyant, over the top personality that will turn up in a bright red suit for instance.
  • Price range – Make sure you receive a detailed quote and you know exactly how much everything costs, including fees, reprints and albums. Does your price include your negatives? Compare your quotes and work out if any price differences are justified.  How many hours of attendance does the price include?
  • Delivery and lead times.- Check on lead times for receiving your proofs after your wedding date and then on lead times to receive any orders. Check on method of delivery and delivery costs.
  • Special offers or discounts – Are there any package offers available to take advantage of? Don’t be shy in asking the question  ‘ Can you do a better price than that for me? You don’t get if you don’t ask!
  • Payment terms and methods – Be clear on payment methods and terms for payment. What are the conditions for cancellations?
  • References – Does he have personal references with contact numbers for you call and portfolios to view? If not be very wary.
  • Venue – Would you like to have some shots taken at a special location, by the sea, or a lake, or gorgeous garden? Make sure the photographer has a clear idea of your schedule for the day and exactly where you would like the photos taken.
  • Contract – Get it all in writing. Make sure you understand it. Read it carefully, and get someone else to check it over before you sign it. Very Important.
  • Video footage – Something many bride and grooms now desire. 3D video footage is the latest technology to be released but is very expensive. You might  choose ask a close friend to do this for you on the day is up to you, and your budget.
  • Disposable Cameras- It has been a popular trend to place small good quality disposal cameras on the reception tables. Your guests can have a lot of fun taking photos and capturing moments and photos you would not normally have seen.
  • Wedding albums – can be arranged and completed to the finished product by the photographer, or you may wish to complete your own with other mementos from your day. Many beautiful albums have been lovingly arranged by the bride and groom themselves using materials from scrapbooking shops.
  • Wedding Invitations – Keep 2 pristine copies of your Engagement Cards and Wedding Invitations to include within your wedding album. Display them at the beginning of the album to start your wedding story. One open with all your details and one closed showing the front of the invite. Especially if you included your own photos on your Wedding Invitations. You could also include photos of yourselves from the engagement, on to the honeymoon for a complete wedding story.

Wedding photos are a most cherished keepsake and memento for not only you, but your loved ones. They will be passed on to the next generations to admire and look back upon.

It makes sense to make them the best you can and be careful and cautious when choosing a photographer.
