How to Create your distinctive Wedding Invitation Ensemble
Plan for production.
For starters you will need to determine how many invitations you will send. Consider ordering an additional 25 invitations to allow for last minute additions and keepsakes. Next, determine what you will include in your ensemble. Typically, if your wedding and reception are in different locations, the reception details are printed on a separate card. Reply cards are customary and they are a convenient way for invitees to respond to your invitation. Additionally, directions, accommodations information and other important details can be printed on enclosure cards and mailed with your invitations.
Select a size and choose your colors.
The style of your invitations should represent the style of your celebration. The colors will be part of your event’s identity. Bright and bold colors or interesting contrasts are best for fun, casual events. Soft colors or a subtle mix are perfect for simple, yet elegant affairs. Be creative, find the combination that is distinctively you. Dress up your invitations with a design element or two.
Prepare for printing.
Write a rough draft of your wording. The wording should also reflect the tone of the event. Spell out dates and times for formal affairs but perhaps opt for numerals if the event is casual. Now is the time to look at lettering styles. Try a trendy type, a sophisticated script or a combination of bold and beautiful. Then think ink. Black and grey are traditional ink colors. Colorful inks are modern and festive. Pairing two or more ink colors can be simply stunning. The printing process you use will complete the look. Each process has it’s own unique appeal. Digital Printing is economical yet acceptable for any type of affair. Thermography represents traditional raised printing with a greater variety of lettering styles and design opportunities. Letterpress and engraving are the classics displaying unmatched elegance.
