Buying Wedding Invitations - Your Options

noreply@blogger.com (Things Festive) — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 10:59:00 +0000

Today, couples have more than one option when it comes to buying wedding invitations. There is the traditional route of visiting a local printer or stationer but for the following reasons, more couples choose to shop for their wedding invitations online:

Convenience - You can shop for invitations 24/7 because online stores are always open! No working around traditional retail hours.
Selection - Because of the exclusive agreements many online stores have with stationery designers, you have many unique designs to choose from. You can often find complementary stationery items to achieve a cohesive look at your wedding.
Price - Because online stores have low overhead, the cost for invitations is often much less than stationers with physical stores.
Turnaround Time - The time frame to receive your printed order takes the same amount of time and often less time. Before ordering, you are given an estimate of when to expect your completed order.
Fast Delivery of Proof - In a day or two, you receive a complimentary proof of your invitation which includes design or wording suggestions for your approval. This helps to speed up the printing process so that you receive your order as quickly as possible.

Once you've determined your invitation/stationery budget, number of guests (always order extra for last minute guests), and wedding style (formal, whimsical, rustic, etc.), shop for invitations that reflect the theme and color scheme of your wedding.

The following illustration shows how easy it is to select invitations based on venue (beach, vineyard), season (winter), theme (love bird, vintage, cherry blossom), or overall design aesthetic.

Brides-To-Be Share Their Wedding Day Must-Haves

noreply@blogger.com (Things Festive) — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 07:15:00 +0000

Every bride-to-be has that one thing that has to be a part of her wedding day. We recently asked several to-be-weds to reveal their must-have wedding accessories and here are the responses we received. Is your must-have listed?

...would have to be my veil! I never thought I could fall in love with a piece of tulle like I did; it is a stunning, cathedral length veil. Nothing says 'bride' quite like a veil. - Elizabeth H.
The one thing that I would LOVE to have at my wedding are wedding favors for the guests! I've always been one to give, and I want my guests to enjoy a little something the day they come to support me. :) - Stephanie V.
...a monogrammed cake topper for our cake - Christine O.
My "must have" wedding accessories are a tuxedo and ring bearer pillow for our dog - Barley. Without him, our wedding will not be complete! :-) - Michaela O.
...a great pair of pumps. - Kaitlin J.
...a bouquet with all of my favorite flowers : ) - Maria H.
I'm having a fall wedding, so I must have lots of votives in nice holders and pumpkins! - Amber P.
...a s'mores station! - Britsy B.
...my mother's garter. I do need to have it dry cleaned so it is ready for my big day,but it has so much sentimental value I have to have it as my something borrowed. - Samantha A.
Since my fiance and I are paying for our own wedding and beginning and finishing graduate school, my must have wedding accessory would be a tiara! They are beautiful but unfortunately not something I can really afford with my budget! - Vanessa R.
...small, open lockets that will attach to my flowers of my grandmothers that have passed on and my fiance's grandmother that I was very close to that passed on. - Betty B.
Besides smaller hips, having a great necklace to go with the dress. - Roseanne M.
...long beautiful flowing white sheets that hang from the ceiling - Robert G.
...navy blue shoes. I am dying for ones that I can emboss my future initials in rhinestones on the back of. With a 3-4" heel and a pump style. I truly believe this would complete my outfit. - Michelle C.
...my brand new husband on my arm. I wont go unless I have that!! - Monica T.
Although wedding favors can be a sore subject for some brides, I think that they are a must for me. With a little creativity, they can show your guests your uniqueness. For example, I am thinking about having some playing cards made up with our names on them. All my friends and family know that I absolutely love the casino and playing cards. Plus, the guests can play with them at the reception while sipping on some adult beverages. Although everything else about my wedding is pretty traditional, I do want to include some of my style into the wedding favors. - Stephanie S.
...for my tropical/beachy themed wedding are small lantern candleholder table decor/wedding favors! I saw them in a catalog and FELL IN LOVE! :) - Tracy C.
...headband with crystals! :) - Natalie F.
...bilingual Wedding Programs so that wedding guests could enjoy the ceremony in both English and Spanish! - Mariela N.
My boyfriend of 3 years has just asked me to marry him. Both of us help out at a Japanese anime convention and this is where we met. A Japanese cake topper I think would fit us so well. - Morgan C.
...a brooch bouquet made of antique brooches. - Lauren C.
...your butterfly handkerchief because for generations the women in my family include butterflies to our wedding. - Kristin D.
...Crown cake topper - Megan W.
...Sparklers! - Mercedes K.
