The very first introduction your guests will have to your wedding day is your wedding invitation. Traditional etiquette gurus, such as Emily Post, have tons of tips to make sure there are no blunders on what is often your first venture into the world of the formal invite. Here are some tips for wedding invitations that could help in bridal planning.
The basics of traditional wedding invitation for formal wedding invites are typically ivory, soft cream and white. Heavyweight paper is a must for formal invites. For traditional brides, shaded and antique Roman typefaces engraved on the invite are what they prefer, but for a modern bride, there is no limit when it comes to font and printing options. When addressing your invitations, partners of invited guests-married, engaged or living together-should always be included. For a wedding invitation, the only information that should be included on the invite is who, the when, and the where.
Remember, according to Ms. Manners, “The purpose of etiquette is to create an environment that allows everyone to feel comfortable”. Consider your guests’ feelings as well as your own when crafting every step of the wedding experience and you’ll find that even if your invite is unique and outside of the norm, it will be a joy for your friends and family to receive and will have them looking forward to your big day.
