Wedding invitations have become a low priority item on a newly engaged couple’s list. Cheaper and digital alternatives have become popular and convenient over the years. Though, in my opinion, invitations set the tone of this special celebration, and another email does not scream out “special celebration.” We get enough of those in our inboxes and in our spam folders. I admit, I am biased. I am a person who loves paper, but I respect wherever a couple decides to spend their money. That’s their business! All this to say, I am happy you have come across this blog post, because that means you are interested in sending out invitations.

So now you’re here and you need a little guidance. Below is a guide of the most common pieces (and their sizes) you need for your wedding invitation suite.

sky’s the limit

You can make your invitations as interesting and designed as you want them to be. I am not exaggerating when I say, “Sky’s the limit!” The printing capabilities are endless. Your invitations can be made out of acrylic or handmade, recycled paper. You can literally do what you want, but it might come with a price (just sayin’). With all the possibilities, I like to encourage my couples to use this opportunity to share their love story with their guests. Taking elements from your venue or including something that is unique to your relationship are great ways to add that personal touch to your invitation.

all that matters…

I am a big believer of first impressions. So when you’re thinking about your invitations, remember that they are the first look into your wedding and set the tone of your event. But whether you decide to go the digital route or you want to send your invitations inside of an artisan wood box, all that matters is that your guests receive all the information they need to know about your wedding.

Good luck!
