Weding Invitation

Somewhere between traditional etiquette and creative expression lies the perfect weding stationery - weding invitations that will tell your guests where to be, when to be there, even what to wear, all in a way that quietly reflects the two of you.

The most formal weding invitation consists of a white or ecru sheet of high-quality cotton or linen rag.
French-fold weding invitations are a popular variation: They are folded in half twice, once horizontally, and once vertically.
Four-ply cards (heavyweight paper, often with beveled edges) are another elegant style.

Unique weding invitations can be created by incorporating colored card stock or inks, borders, die cuts, wax seals, icons, and ribbons into the design.

Weding invitations should be mailed no longer than eight weeks in advance of the event - more if you are planning a destination wedding.
Some brides prefer to address their own weding invitations, while others have a calligrapher write out the envelopes.
In addition, it’s nice to use pretty stamps - printed with hearts, flowers, or fruit, say - and ask at the post office that they be hand-canceled, an added touch that says no details has been overlooked.

The presentation of your weding invitation should be considered as carefully as its wording.
Most weding invitations are mailed in a double envelope, one inside the other, for protection.
