Your wedding invitations are meant to provide a fresh perspective of your new life as man and wife. These simple invitations tell family and friends that you want them to join you at the most significant time of your life. If you have a boring invitation, your guests are going to assume that the wedding will be boring. Dont be afraid to spunk it up! You want to convey excitement.

What will you do to make your invitations appear unique and special? Some invitations feature an icon, monogram, or the couples initials intertwined with one another. Dare to be different, set your wedding invitation apart from those of others. Your personal touch will not go unnoticed.

If you really want to wow family and friends, send them wedding invitations that they might wish to save as a keepsake. A personalized logo with an artists rendition of you and your fiance would be over the top! Your family will talk about it for months with their friends and neighbours. Its such a unique idea that really shows how much thought you put into the preparations of getting married.

Try thinking on an abstract level. Think of your wedding invitations, as say, a tattoo. If someone notices your tattoo, they may never forget that minor detail. Well, if someone receives an artfully prepared wedding invitation, theyll always remember who it came from.

If you want your invitation to be remembered and treasured, it should capture something symbolic. Perhaps you and your fiance met in Hawaii. If so, incorporate a palm tree emblem with a sunset as the backdrop. Not everyone will get itbut those who know truly know you, will understand what it is youre trying to convey.

Undoubtedly, a custom created invitation carries a lot of freedom. You can create, design, and convey everything you want in a neat little package - from you, to others - with love. After all, thats the intention, isnt it?

Dont forget to send self-explanatory directions that include a map with your invitations. You should also include an RSVP card in an inner-envelope. Make sure that the envelope is pre-postage paid and that everyones address is confirmed prior to sending. Ideally, invitations should be sent 6-8 weeks prior to the wedding date. This should give everyone plenty of time to organize their schedules around your special day.
