Hey! Guess what?! I'm engaged! Well not me but that's what screams of excitement from newly brides to be. So as your telling all your friends and family by word, you now get the exciting job of telling everyone else in the world that you're getting married. I'm amazed at the invitation industry and the array of ways to say it. But to help you, let's kind of categorize the types.
Traditional
So what does the traditional invitation look like? The most traditional type of wedding invitation is engraved on heavy ecru paper with a tissue layover. An inner envelope is set inside an outer envelope. You can find these through many websites that offer plenty of classic and elegant options for brides looking for traditional simplicity,
A traditional wedding invitation will include the following in each mailing:
Outer envelope
Inner envelope
Wedding invitation
Response card
Reception card
The combination above is the most traditional and basic version of the wedding invitation.
Modern
The style of modern invitations have began to grow as more brides seek to ways to break away from standard traditional invitation and interject their personality yet till keep some of the touches that makes it formal. Most brides are leaning towards consultation with designers to have a one of a kind custom design that reflects the style of the wedding. The designer meets with the bride to discuss layouts, paper choices, ink colors, fonts, ribbons, shapes & sizes, etc. Looking for a modern invitation? Let me point you toward an awesome company the Paper Ink Shop. Stephanie is a super amazing designer and so great to work with, so check out PIS and let Stephanie design an invitation that reflects you and your wedding.
