Unique Wedding Invitations - Black Pocket Folders, The Elegant Choice
Cindy and Jack had always wanted a formal wedding with a sit-down dinner reception.
They had planned and budgeted for a year, but were having trouble finding the right invitations.
They wanted something more bold yet elegant.
Most of the books they looked through featured white or cream invitations with gold accents.
Cindy's bridesmaids were wearing lavender and Jacks' groomsmen were wearing black tuxes.
When they priced a custom designed invitation, it was far more than their budget allowed.
What to do? This is where the internet is such a time and money saver.
It's like having access to all the kinds of stores and selections at your finger tips.
To find your perfect invitations online, here are some suggestions: CHOOSE THE RIGHT SEARCH ENGINE TERMS: What you type into Google, MSN, or Yahoo matters.
If you want a general overview simply type in: wedding invitations.
This will give you many, many sites of invitations that include printing in the cost.
To refine your search try: unique wedding invitations, this will give you sites with different and unusual selections.
You can also type in: DIY or Printable Wedding Invitations.
This will introduce you to the world of do-it-yourself and wedding invitation kits which allow you to have more selection and control over your invitation.
DECIDE HOW MUCH TIME AND MONEY YOU ARE WILLING TO SPEND ON INVITATIONS: There is no way around it, most wedding invitations are expensive and time consuming.
The question is how much? And how do I make this enjoyable? If you are a couple that is short on time it may make sense to delegate by ordering an invitation that has much of the printing done for you.
Then gather your family or bridal party to help you address the envelopes.
If you are a couple that has an artistic flair, time, but limited budget then try many of the suggestions on the Do-it-yourself sites.
This can be a very creative and bonding time for you as a couple as you develop something that uniquely expresses you.
If you are somewhere in the middle, some time, some artistic flair, a not too constrained budget, then an invitation kit may be what you are looking for.
Here, you select from set styles but you can choose your accents, colors, and print it yourself.
ORDER A SAMPLE: Pictures on the internet never do justice to the product.
They can't, there are simply too many variations in the models of computers out there.
Therefore, to make sure you like the color, the texture and the weight of the paper of your invitation, always order a sample before you commit.
WHEN ORDERING ONLINE, ALLOW ENOUGH TIME: You should plan to order you invitations a least 8-12 weeks prior to the wedding.
As in any business, mistakes happen; stock can run out, the printing can be incorrect, you didn't order a sample and you don't like the invitations when they arrive.
To avoid all this stress, order early.
And Cindy and Jack? After exploring many sites they settled on a black folder invitation kit where they could choose their own ribbon color and print it themselves.
The black folder with white inserts finished with a lavender ribbon really captured the formality and elegance they were trying to create and set the tone they wanted.
