MORE THAN AN INVITATION!


Wedding Styles

After the proposal, the excitement, the sparkle and the sharing with family and friends it is then “Let the Wedding Planning Begin”.  You have selected your planner, determined a date and selected the location for this wonderful occasion and the fun begins!

The invitation is an essential part to the celebration and completely sets the tone for “your wedding” in addition to providing all the necessary details to your guests. It should convey what the overall ambiance will be, if the wedding is going to be casual or formal, the wedding invitations should reflect it.  If there is a specific style or theme, this is ideal time to begin “to make it your own” wedding.  Keep in mind there are a variety of invitation options to choose from and you can be INSPIRED to create a style, a color, a monogram and any other design details that will bring your wedding vision alive.


It is always quite wise to send a Save the Date card so guests can “mark” their calendar.  The Save the Date does not have to reflect the wedding as the planning journey has not yet began but it should reflect you…maybe a photo of where the proposal was?  It just needs to reflect the joy of the celebration.

Once the invitation has been designed you have many options to bring those design details throughout the whole wedding with “your look”.  This can be carried through to programs, menus, table numbers, specialty beverage signs, guest book, escort cards, hotel gift bags, gobo lighting designs, wedding cake design and of course the color in the flowers, linens, lighting and so much more.  Even your wedding album, thank you notes can all be branded the same way.   Your wedding is now “your own” one of a kind!




Your invitation is the first introduction to YOUR wedding and you want your guests to have a great FIRST impression.
