Why Invitations can make a Lasting Impression on your Guests ?

This can be done with a unique, fun, and special creativity. Or, you may choose to keep a strong sense of tradition.

Tradition

There is a history and tradition that is often adhered to when deciding on the different aspects of the invitation. However, keep in mind that it is ultimately your day. Feel free to make it a portrait of your own personality.

Text

Wording your invitations can be particularly overwhelming. If you're having trouble deciding how to approach this area in your invitation creation, you may wish to consider going with a more well known method. These invitation writing methods are particularly useful for more formal events. However, many types of invitations often use these basic rules:

* Roman numerals are best when placed with names. Instead of writing 'John Doe the 3rd', you may consider 'John Doe III'
* Abbreviations should be used extremely sparingly, if at all. Mount (Mt.) and Saint (St.) are the only exceptions to this rule as far as addresses are concerned. All numbers should be spelled out as well, including date and time.
* Always use full names. An entire middle name written out, or none at all, is better than using just the initial.
* Use of 'Honor' and 'favor' is appropriate when writing a formal invitation. The American spelling for these words is not frowned upon, if that is what you choose.
* Write everything in the third person.

Style

The style of the invitation will give out much information just as the wording on it will. It will set a scene and, in some cases, may be your guests only way of knowing what to expect or what is to be expected on your wedding day. It is considered extremely socially incorrect to have "No children please" placed on your invitation. Guests should realize if the event is after six o'clock, it is probably going to formal. If you feel that there is any sway as to how your invitation might be portrayed, it is not in poor taste to place the words "Black tie" as a right footnote on your reception card.

RSVP (Response card)

As with all aspects of information, being as specific as possible is always key. If you wish to invite John Doe and Guest, say so. In an event as formal as a wedding, it is considered terribly rude to ask if you might bring someone with you. In any case, a guest should always RSVP as requested. The different types of RSVP cards are as follows:

* RSVP (No response card): A note to the return address on the envelope is requested.
* Response card: Fill out the requested information and return by the marked date.
* RSVP (With contact information): Contact the host as requested (telephone, email, etc.)
* Regrets only: This means that anyone who doesn't contact the host is expected to be there.
