When you are planning your wedding with the word budget in bold print at the top of your priority list you can feel under pressure. Rest assured it’s certainly not the end of the world and just because you are having a budget wedding it doesn’t mean that your wedding won’t look extravagant. You can plan the wedding of your dreams on a budget, it can be done, and this article will help you with the first step, your invitations.
Firstly you need to decide how formal your wedding will be. You can have a full formal wedding, semi formal, casual semi formal or just casual; it’s up to your own preference. The style of wedding you plan to have will have an influence on your wording and design options for the invitations. There are many websites on the internet where you can find free invitation templates with and without word samples and design samples, these websites are a great resource and if you can’t find one you like there you can at least get an idea of what you do like. Some websites will try to hook you by requiring you to purchase something from them before they will allow you to download their templates, don’t give in to them, do some more searching online to find another site without these requirements.
Next you must choose a font that matches your theme and the style of your invitations. There are many places where you can purchase your wedding stationary such as cards, paper and envelopes. Search both online and offline for the best deals you can find. It’s always a good idea to have a few extra than you actually need just in case something goes wrong with a couple of your invitations.
Try to set a day or night where you are going to make your invitations and put them into envelopes ready for posting. It’s best to address and name the envelopes first and then do the invitations as you come across the envelopes as it lessens the chances of putting the wrong invitations into the wrong envelopes. If you have children then aim to do your invitations when they are in bed as the less distraction from the task they better otherwise you may find yourself making mistakes and possibly doubling up on invites.
If you are having your wedding at a garden, beach or country area then it may be a nice idea to take a photo or download a picture of this type of area and use this as the background for your invitations in either color, black and white or sepia depending on your tastes and theme.
When it comes to wording you could use a quote on your invitations such as one from a poem, a word of wisdom, a bible entry or even a lyric from a favourite love song like “from this moment on”.
A good idea is to make trial copies of your invitations first on plain white printing paper to get an idea on how they will look and to see if the wording suits you. A wedding is such a special day and self made wedding invitations are not only affordable but also add a special personal touch.
