The invitation reflects the style of your event and your personal style. Traditional or contemporary, today's invitations offer a variety of options to help set the tone.

Once you have determined the number of guests you plan to invite, select and order your invitations. Allow at least 3 months before your special event so you will have plenty of time for addressing, mailing and receiving responses.

All invitations, announcements and enclosure cards are available from a stationer, large department store, jeweller or bridal salon.

It is highly recommended that you choose a reputable firm. They have numerous sample books from which to select. A consultant will assist you in selecting the paper, design, style of lettering and correct wording. Avoid ordering stationery in such places as a drug store because they will print your order exactly as you give it to them - mistakes and all!

Traditionally, the wedding invitation is a double sheet of white or ivory card stock, with the message in black ink on the outside, and blank on the inside. Contemporary invitations come in many colors, often using colored inks.

Wedding invitations can be printed on engraved. Engraving is the traditional and most opulent. Thermography, a process that yields raised print, has a similar appearance, but at a fraction of the cost.

Remember - you only need one invitation per couple. Envelopes should be addressed using black ink. Never abbreviate names or addresses.

If enclosing a response card be sure it is stamped and preaddressed. Invitations should be mailed four to six weeks prior to the event. Check with your local post office for the amount of postage needed to mail your invitations, this will vary depending on the size of and number of enclosures. If either the wedding or the reception is held at an unfamiliar location, it is a good idea to enclose a small map and the invitation. Your stationer can print theses maps for you.

A formal wedding announcement is a way of letting distant relatives, friends and acquaintances that were not invited to the wedding, know the occasion took place. This does not obligate the recipient to send a gift. The announcements are addressed prior to the wedding and mailed the day of the wedding or shortly after. Lastly, because you will be receiving many beautifully gifts if the event is a wedding or birthday, you need thank you notes.

Traditionally brides order formal notes with their married name on the overleaf. Non-wedding thank you notes can be less formal. Your stationer can order these for you. However, plain white or simply decorated not cares are quite proper.
