[S875]Stamps For Wedding Invitations

by Sara Haese, Sar

You and your fiancé chose the location, theme and colors of your wedding based on your personal preferences. Since your wedding invitations are an introduction to your wedding, they should reflect your choices and ultimately your personalities and styles.

It used to be that wedding invitations were always very traditional in their color and appearance. Today, wedding invitations come in a vast array of exciting colors, styles, sizes and themes to reflect the creativity of modern wedding couples.

Not to say traditional is out of date, but today your options are truly unlimited. There are choices based on seasons, hobbies, color combinations, themes, ceremony locations, ethnic backgrounds, flowers, etc. Your wedding invitations can have a modern contemporary look or they might feature photos of youngsters sharing tender moments.

Your choices don't end with the wedding invitation itself. There's the font style and ink color. Again, there is an impressive selection of font styles to fit any type of wedding design. Just keep in mind you want to choose a style that your guests will find easy to read. The more script the style, the more difficult it usually is to read. Colored ink choices are not quite as abundant as font styles, but there are still plenty to accommodate your chosen wedding colors.

Here are some questions for you to consider when choosing your wedding invitation style:

1. In what type of setting are you getting married – church, formal, casual, outdoor, destination?

2. What is the color scheme of your wedding?

3. Is there an overall theme to your wedding?

4. Do you want to incorporate a specific ethnic or religious theme?

5. In what season will your wedding take place?

6. What type of flowers are you having in your wedding?

7. Do you want to include your photo on your wedding invitations?

8. What is your wedding invitation budget?

Another great idea for personalizing your wedding invitations is to include a favorite line of poetry, a beloved quotation, a particular Bible verse, or words from a special song. Many times the company who prints your invitations will also have a large selection of small verses to choose from. Just be sure your chosen wedding invitation style will have enough room for these extra lines of printing.

Your wedding invitations should be both beautiful and uniquely personal, just like your wedding ceremony. With all of today's gorgeous choices, you're sure to find exactly what you desire.

Wedding invitations

Anything goes with you January wedding invitations. Draw on winter themes with crystal icicles or beautiful snowflakes. Your invitation should be the first hint at your theme, so pick something that you and your fianc? will love. Opt for a formal invitation with black, white and a touch of red or keep it whimsical and fun with snowmen.

You might want to consider getting your wedding invitations in the mail earlier rather than later. If your wedding is later in the month, you don't want your invitation to get lost or caught up with the deluge of Christmas and holiday cards. This might be another reason to skip the winter themes and make your invitation stand out from the rest of the mail from this time of year.

Ceremony and reception

January offers many brides a chance to reduce costs and increase availability. Since a majority of venues and vendors are busiest during the summer months with brides and December with holiday parties, January can be a lull for most. Take advantage of lower off-season costs with vendors. And capitalize on lots of open weekends in January for your perfect ? and efficient ? wedding.

Your January wedding menu should include warm and hearty selections but steer clear of any holiday favorites. Your guests may have just enjoyed a month's worth of holiday delights. Try a stuffed chicken breast for something different and delicious. Instead of a wedding cake, maybe cupcakes are in order?

At the bar, celebrate your wedding and brand New Year with champagne and champagne cocktails. Add the bubbly to orange juice or cranberry juice for delicious treats. Peach puree can make a tasty Bellini. And, of course, the classic champagne cocktail includes the sparkling wine, sugar and bitters. A champagne glass just might be the perfect touch for your wedding invitations and wedding favors, too. You'll probably want to have some warm drinks handy, too. A coffee bar with flavored coffee, hot chocolate and cider and be a big hit in the cold weather.

Take the winter out of your January wedding

If you're just plain sick of the winter, consider a totally different theme for your January wedding. A tropical theme will warm up your guests just fine. Add some Hawaiian d'cor and menu items and you'll have a wedding luau in no-time. Or opt for a patriotic theme and celebrate like it's the 4th of July. Turn your menu into a picnic and you'll be feeling the summer warmth at your January wedding. Either of these themes can warm up your wedding invitations, too.

Take advantage of all that January has to offer and make your wedding memorable. Why fight with the June and July brides when you can have a great wedding and perhaps even save some money in the process.
