[W272]Wedding Invitations Thank You

by Peter Clark, Pet

It's quite a debate. There are reasons for and against. Is there a move towards electronic wedding invitations, and should you consider them?

And of course there's a number of ways to manage your electronic wedding invitations. Anouncing the wedding and offering invitations has been done on Facebook, for example.

Firstly, what are the advantages of using electronic invitations? Well the big advantage has to be the cost, or lack thereof. Electronic invitations are extremely cheap wedding invitations, or free. And cost is always a big factor for any wedding. If you can get away with cheap wedding invitations like electronic invitations, why not make some savings on the wedding budget?

And that's a good point. There's no doubt that weddings are extremely expensive, and many cannot afford all the trappings of a full blown wedding. Why not save some money using cheap wedding invitations? And put that money towards the wedding itself?

Cost is the big advantage of electronic invitations. There are others. For example an electronic invitation is a low carbon invitation, and doesn't use paper. So no trees cut down to make them.

What are the disadvantages?

Well for me the big disadvantage is tradition. A wedding is an extremely traditional thing and I think that's good. Now of course there are those who don't care at all about tradition, and who specifically want a non traditional wedding. That's fine too.

However there are also other good reasons why I consider electronic wedding invitations to be less than the perfect wedding invitations.

Whilst the bride and groom may not wish a traditional wedding, that might not necessarily apply to the guests. Older people, for example, may well feel differently about it. What about Grandma? What about the parents? And whilst of course they wouldn't get quite the same invitations anyway, you don't know who else amongst the guests will feel that an electronic invitation is a little tacky and cheap.

I've seen young people who also felt that a wedding is an extremely traditional thing and would recoil at receiving an electronic invitation.

Then there's the practical problems. What happens when someone doesn't get the invitation because it's disappeared into the junk folder along with the 200 other junk emails that day? Or, if you've gone to the trouble of designing a great invitation with, say, Acrobat, what happens if the recipient doesn't have the software? How about someone with a Mac? What will they get?

Electronic invitations are a great idea for young people throwing a party, but for me, if it's a wedding, stick to real wedding invitations.

If cost is a problem there are places online where you can get very cheap wedding invitations. Spend that little bit extra on real invitations.

Wedding invitation is one of the most important item for your wedding. Of course you will be using them to invite your guests. It is very true that some couples will think that they should never spend too much money on them. However, the fact here is that you need to order them even if you think you should not spend too much money on them.

No matter how much you are planning to spend on your wedding invitations, you will have to consider a lot of details when you are choosing the cards. There are a lot of practical issues you have to consider. At the end of the day you will choose the card based on your preference. Yet you will still have to make sure that some practical issues have already be taken care of.

No matter what kind of cards you are going to choose, the wordings will always be the most important. If you are someone who believe etiquette is very important, there is no doubt that you will need to pay a lot of attention to the wordings. Even if you are not such a person, you will still need to pay attention to them. The wordings are very important in a way them they will deliver the details and information about your wedding to your guests.

As a result, you should at least make sure that you all the necessary information is included in the contents and wordings of your wedding invitation. For example, you have to include at least the date and time of your event. Otherwise there is no point for you to send the invitations to your guests. Of course it is not necessary for you to follow the traditional wordings. You can create your own wordings if you like. Again, the baseline here is that you include all the information about your big day in the wordings.

Of course the style is also very important. Most people believe that the invitations will set the tone of your wedding. As a result, you should consider your wedding theme when you are choosing your wedding cards. This is very important. If you are going to have a destination wedding, you may probably want to create the invitation in a way that the design is just like an air ticket. This will tell your guests that they are going to take the planes in order to attend your wedding. This will also make your invitation a lot more interesting than the traditional and conventional designs.

The envelop is another thing you need to consider. There are people who even think that the envelop is more important than the card itself since it is the first thing your guests see. As a result, you should try to add some personal touch to your envelop. One of the ways is to print your names on the envelop. You may also hire a graphic designer to work with you in order to create a perfect wedding invitation and envelop.
