Wedding Invitation Cards to suit every Taste and Design

By Vincent To


Getting married is all about starting a new life and a new family with the blessings of near and dear ones and elders. So it is important to invite everyone close to the family for the wedding well in advance. Wedding invitation cards therefore need to be sent a couple of weeks before the date of the wedding so that everyone is informed in advance and can plan to set aside the time to attend the wedding. Wedding invitation cards are also normally accompanied by response cards through which guests can inform you of their availability on the wedding date. You can also add a map or a direction card to the invitation so that guests can find the venue easily.

Apart from the regular information that goes on most wedding invitation cards, you can also add additional information that guests would find helpful. For instance, if there are shuttle services to the venue, you can mention that in the card. You can also mention the seating arrangement details so that guests know where they need to be seated. This can avoid a lot of confusion during the wedding, especially if the number of guests is huge. Some of these tiny pieces of information mentioned on the wedding invitation cards can go a long way in making the wedding, a memorable occasion for guests.

There are different types of wedding invitation cards that you can choose from. The most informal are the handwritten cards which provide a more intimate and homely look. As long as the number of guests invited is small, these kinds of cards would be appropriate. But if the gathering is going to be large, writing so many cards by hand would be out of the question.

Another type of wedding invitation cards that are unique and artistic is calligraphy style cards, where the services of a professional calligrapher are used to style the letters in the card text. Since these are designed professionally, they make a great alternative to personalized cards, since they are also designed by hand. Long lasting impressions are formed by invitees, when they received a wedding invitation that is stylized with calligraphy designs.

You could use the option of going to a professional printing unit and hiring their services for bulk printing. You can also try out several different stores and buy cards that are readymade. If you are keen on customizing your cards and following a certain theme throughout, you can get a uniform look on all the printed material to match the designs and colors that you have chosen for the wedding service. If you are stumped for time and need to send out cards quickly, you could just go out and pick up some readymade cards that will make it convenient for you.

It would be worthwhile to take time and put in some effort to select the right type of design for your wedding invitation card since it is a once in a lifetime affair. You could impress your guests with your taste and style by paying attention to details, starting with your invitation cards that would be remembered for a long time after the occasion.
