The Wedding Invitation! How do you...

So it's time to pick out your invitations. My suggestion is that you do this VERY early; even right after picking out your gown and securing your reception area. The reason being that it is one of the things that can fly under the radar and you'll forget about. And it can't be forgotten about because then you will have no guests to celebrate with you!

There are many beautiful wedding invitations to choose from. Some are very simple. Some are more elaborate. My first daughter that got married had a much more "princessish" (is that a word? LOL) wedding and her invitation portrayed that. My second daughter was more formal but less lavish, even with her gown. So she chose a simple invitation which was made formal because of purchasing a satin lined envelope and having a ribbon adorning the invitation itself. By the way, we have some gorgeous invitations to choose from, and we'll help you with what should be written inside if you'd like also.
What I've posted here are just two of many designs that we have. In fact, one of hundreds. So go and browse and see if there's something that we can help you with. Okay, back to what I was saying!

When invitations get complicated is when there is more than one parent or sets of parents or any other combination. What and how do you write the inscription on the invitation? But do not fear...we have the answer. As a very general rule, the parents who are paying for the invitations (and usually a good portion of the wedding) are the ones that should be issuing the invitation. One way to accomplish both is:

Mr. and Mrs. John Doe
request the honour of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter
Ms. Jane Jean Doe
to
Mr. Groom's Full Name
Son of Mrs. New Husband's Name (or) Son of Mr. and Mrs. New Husband's Name
and Mr. Groom's Father's Name (or) and Mr. and Mrs. Groom's Father's Name

The last line is where you can add whomever you choose. This is nice, clean and nobody gets offended or left out.

An invitation is a beautiful thing. It's very personal and should emulate what the wedding will be like and even the colors that the bride and groom may go with for their special day. Don't jump at the first thing you see. Browse through our collection of invitations especially made for Designs to Remember. Hopefully we can help you relieve one less burden, knowing that they will be perfectly done.

Be blessed...enjoy these moments, they pass quickly.
Much happiness coming your way,
