Are you ready to dive into the wonderful world of wedding invitations? Now, you might be thinking, In this digital age, do we really need fancy paper invitations?” Well, hold bridal veil because we’re about to unravel why wedding invitations are still as important as ever! Wedding invitations are like the magical keys that unlock the joy and excitement of your big day. They create anticipation, set the tone, reflect your unique style, become cherished keepsakes, and ensure everyone knows what, when, and where. Embrace the tradition and have a blast designing your invitations. After all, your love story deserves a grand entrance!
Your Invitation Sets the Entire Event
The wedding invitation will set the tone for the big day. It will tell your guests the style and formality of your wedding day as well as provides information that your guests will need. For example, an extravagant celebration should have an extravagant invitation. Picture this – if you were to receive an engraved invitation suite on fancy stock, tied up with a ribbon, you would know not to arrive in jeans and flip flops and expect the best at the wedding. This means that the wedding invitation has perfectly set the tone.
The Invitation Creates Excitement
Receiving a beautiful invitation in the mail will make your guests feel special and excited for the wedding. If you are planning a weekend filled with activities, brunch, or parties with your guests, this should be included in the invitation. The invitation should also give your guests information to book travel, pack accordingly for the activities, and get them pumped up for a fun weekend!
The Invitation Reflects You, The Couple
This is one of the most important reasons for a proper invitation. Your wedding invitation should reflect who you are as a couple. The best way to go is with a reputable company like MINTED that specializes in stationery and has a design team that can craft a design that is unique to you. They are called pros for a reason and have the gift for designing, choosing colors and styles, understanding printing, and even assembling invitations for you. They also don’t have to break the bank to have a beautifully crafted invitation!
Your Invitation Becomes a Keepsake
Often many of your guests will throw away the invitation, but for some, your close friends and family will probably keep them. The wedding day is very special to parents and grandparents, and they will keep and cherish your wedding invitations. Would you throw away family photos? Probably not. A wedding invitation often has a similar value, and many people will treasure your wedding invitation and keep it for years to come. Guests may very well throw away cheap invitations that show that there was no thought or effort put into them. No one expects a guest to keep something that the bride and groom don’t really care about. Invitations are an essential part of planning a wedding because they set the tone of what guests are to expect on the wedding day and at the same time help them prepare for your event.
Your Family History is an Important Part of the Invitation
Wedding invitations can carry a piece of family history in many ways. Just by listing your parents’ names or including a custom illustration of the venue or church, you are including a piece of history. A great example is an invitation below, which has a custom illustration of the venue where you are going to have your wedding. The style you choose for your wedding invitations, whether you go bright and colorful, or soft and elegant, mirror who you are as a person and as a couple.
And remember, as you address those envelopes and lick those stamps (or maybe use a fancy sticker), don’t forget to add a sprinkle of your own personality and a dash of humor. Let your wedding invitations radiate your love, joy, and a hint of your quirky charm.
So, Let’s Raise our Glasses to Love, Laughter, and the Power of a Beautifully Crafted Wedding Invitation!
