Etiquette wedding invitation

Finalizing an etiquette wedding invitation requires much effort and time. You should be very particular in mailing your wedding invitations once all the details get finalized. You must also consider some extra time for those invitations, which have to be sent far away. Even your guests need some time to travel from their place.
Picking a proper invitation design is as important as picking out attire or choosing a location. You must finalize the invitation and venue at least four months prior to your date of wedding. This can provide you with ample of time to face all kinds of unexpected hurdles. You also must have enough time to place proper addresses on your etiquette wedding invitation and this should be started almost three months before your wedding date. This is because if you are expecting a number of guests then addressing the invitations may be very time consuming.
You can also make a list of the invitees to see that who responded to your invitation and who did not. All the etiquette wedding invitation should be dispatched between five and seven weeks prior to the date of your wedding. You must remember to provide postage for all the response cards.
All the wedding announcements must be sent out to those who have not been invited yet. You might not find it economic to send the invitation or you may want to have a small peaceful wedding. So these announcements can let people know that you have got married without inviting them to the wedding. So there are many aspects of an etiquette wedding invitation which need to be taken care of.

Be Unique

In todays days many couples are looking of a new way of making their wedding invitation. Some wants to have the most unique invitation that is available in the market. Though there are still some that go in the classic one. But the mot unique invitation I’ve seen so far is the invitation in of the celebrity couple here in our country. It was Judy Ann and Ryan Agoncillo’s wedding invitation.

Their invitation was inside a shoe box. The box contains one white slipper and has a message “Eto na! Inuman na. Punta ka nakaputi dalin mo ‘tong tsinelas” (This is it! Let’s drink. Wear white and bring the slipper) Aside from that message it has a map where the guest is invited to come.

It’s a simple yet unique way of inviting your guest in your special day, isn’t it? Even their guest like their simple yet unique invitation. Actually there are lots of unique way to have your invitation all you need to do is to be creative.

Cash Gift on Wedding Invites

I know that life nowadays is not that easy specially that we are all experiencing financial crisis. But I don’t think couples are allowed nor it’s reasonable enough to put in your invites something like “if you wish to give a gift, monetary present is preferable and much appreciated” or any other way of saying you prefer cash gift. For me if I see those kind of words in a wedding invite it’s no longer a wedding invitation but more of a solicitation. Besides not all people are broad minded and can look at this in a possitive way. Like for some cultures and tradition this kind of wordings is odd for them. So I think if the couple wants nor prefer cash gifts it’s more proper if they verbalize it but also consider the fact that they should wait for the invitees to ask which they prefer. Remember the event is a wedding, a union of two souls and not a charitable event.

My cousin got married yesterday

Yesterday, my cousin got married. It was weird, because I haven’t seen my cousin for decades, and she suddenly married. She seems doesn’t recognize me, nor I remember her how she look. We haven’t seen each other for while, because we don’t have closed relationship like normal cousins. It was my first time to see her husband too.

On the ceremony, I don’t know majority of the people. I only knew a few, from my family side. I just invited to the party, and I go with the flow that was what I am doing there. I don’t really enjoying it, nor I hate it. As matter of fact, I left the party a little bit earlier that I expected. I just want to come home and make some extra money better than wasting my time over there. I hope that they have good marriage as my blessings to them. I also wonder when it will be my turn to get married.

Don’t Be That Bride: HELLO THIRTY! THE WEDDING FAIRY’S “NEW WAVE” OF WEDDINGS (PART I)

At my 30th birthday party, I was speaking with one of those friends who is getting married. We were talking about Save the Dates - and she said to me something along these lines (after I complimented her on her “STD”): “Thanks! We were excited to send them out, but we of course only sent them to those we definitely knew we could invite. We’re afraid people will talk and complain if they find out they didn’t happen to get a save the date - and someone they knew did - but we don’t want to run into an even more awkward situation later by biting off more than we could chew.”

Yes, much better to let a guest think that their STD got lost in the mail (or let them know they were a late-add guest!) then have someone save the date for nothing!

Wedding Invitations

Wedding invitations are so expensive and since lots of people throw them away after the wedding anyway, I say why bother with expensive ones. I think people should make their own for this reason and because if you make your own your can personalize them how ever you want. Plus they will be so much cheaper if you make them yourself and often your bridesmaids want to help.
Decide what materials you will use. Often you can find some very nice paper at craft stores that is beautiful. Then come up with a design that you like using your computer and go at it. You could embelish with ribbons or other little craft items that you may find. You may also want to put a photo of you and your fiance on the invitation. Often times copy places have good deals if you want to do this.
This will save you lots of money that tends to be wasted in my book. And they will be more special.

The wedding announcement

The annoucement or invitation card is used to communicate the necessary informations like the day of your wedding. It should include both names, the place, the date and the time of the religious ceremony (normally only the religious ceremony should appear).
Sometimes it is hard to find how we want to present this card (in one page, 2 pages, inside an envelope…). Traditionally, it should be in 4 pages and it should be done by the grandparents, the parents of the future husband and the parents of the future wife who announce the wedding of their children. Nowadays, it is more and more common that this card is done by the newlyweds who announce their own wedding.
Or something more original, create your announcement in 2 parts, a classic one for your parents and familly and a funny one for you and your friends.

Personalize your invites

Make a theme to make your wedding easy to organize. It’s like matching the right stuff as particular to your theme. It can be a color or a genre thing. In order to save, you can be creative to personalize your invitations. You can create your own with a personal touch. If you have time, you can do all the work. If not, ask somebody for help. You can buy raw materials at cheaper price and transform it into a unique invites. Spare material can be used for your “Thank you cards”. Invitations should be sent to your guest a month before the event. So, you will need a much time in making personalized invites. It is time consuming but the amount you are saving is a big help.
