You may prefer this traditional choice or you may want to design and produce your own invitations. The really great thing about your invitations is that they are a reflection of your unique spirit and party; there is no one path. It's all about your choice of style.

Helpful Wedding Invitation Tips
Generally, wedding invitations are mailed out to your guests six to eight weeks prior to the affair (more time may be needed if you are planning a destination wedding); but before mailing, here are a few tips to keep in mind. It makes sense to order extra invitations if you are writing on the envelopes or actual invitations. This way, if you make a mistake, you'll be prepared. As you create your guest list, double check on the spellings of names. It's disappointing to receive a personalized invitation only to see that your name has been misspelled. Although people are usually responsible about RSVPing, there may be a few responses that don't come back on time. Give them a few days, and call to follow up. It will allow you to move forward with the rest of your plans.Remember to save a wedding invitation for yourself. It will make a beautiful memento and can be framed or included in an album or memory box.
