You want to make your wedding invitation stand out because it will be your guests’ first impression of your wedding day. Choosing the ideal invitations for your special day – and then ensuring that they are mailed to all of your loved ones – can seem a little overwhelming given the variety of wedding invitation printing options available. 

Unsure about where to start? We’re here to relieve some of the stress – read on!

Factors You Should Consider Before Printing Wedding Invitations

  1. Do not compromise readability in favor of attractive calligraphy, fonts, or text colors. Make sure that the backdrop and font colors contrast well enough for your guests to read the written text, because you want them to be able to do so. For instance, a transparent wedding invite design is more in trend these days. 

  2. Be careful to adhere to the conventions when drafting your wedding invitation. It is customary for the hosts’ names to come first, followed by a traditional phrase like “so and so seek the honor of your presence.” To choose a layout that will work for you, make sure to discuss your lengthy list of people during the design phase. Additionally, thoroughly review the initial draft after receiving it to make sure you have not omitted anyone or anything important.

  3. It is recommended to clearly state the time, date, and day to avoid any needless issues. This will enable people to make informed plans and prevent misunderstandings.

  4. On such and such a date, at such and such a location, you will wed so and so. The names of the hosts should come before this information because it is the most crucial. The date must be clearly stated, including the day and month, and you should provide the venue’s address and, if applicable, any significant landmarks. Any further information you include will merely clog up your wedding invitation card after this. Therefore, give your inclusion and exclusion priorities great thought. If you can include one, a second insert can be printed with instructions, RSVPs, and other information.

  5. Does your wedding invitation have a lot of copy? Before your invitations go to print, have a grammatical expert proofread them. You can’t afford to send out invitations with grammatical and spelling mistakes. Enlist the assistance of a knowledgeable person.

  6. After they are all printed, it is rather expensive to order additional wedding invitations. To save money, decide how many additional copies you’ll need before you even have them produced. You should keep in mind that some envelopes may be wasted if you have a calligrapher address them, and you’ll also need more for any B-list guests you could end up inviting at the last minute.

  7. Even though you probably can’t wait to send out the wedding invites and cross something else off your to-do list, weighing a sample invitation at the post office first could help you avoid having to do a lot more work later. The trouble of having invites returned due to insufficient postage is not something you want to deal with.
