The Best Wedding Invitations for LessWedding invitations, like everything else about weddings, have a million different options. There are the formal, informal, casual, theme and semi-formal invites. All of which range in price from exuberant to very low cost. Printing your own invitations was at one time not the thing to do if you didn't want to seem cheesy, but with the fine printers we have today, you can print your own and wind up with a great look. Many printing companies and paper suppliers have blank invitations available for you to print yourself. Believe it or not, even department stores have paper stock that is acceptable. Using any elegant font, and customizing to your own needs and taste make this a very frugal choice. You say you don't want the hassle? Let a competent friend or family member handle it for you. Search the web. There are several printers that will print a very low cost, custom invite for you. You may even find a great deal at a local print shop. The key here is to shop around and not settle for something you don't really want. Sometimes it takes a lot of footwork before you stumble upon just the right thing. Remember that the wording of an invite will carry a tone. So a wedding invitation should be worded in a way that will go along with the formality or lack there of of your wedding. Black and White traditionally make an invitation seem elegant and formal. Dashes of color, or pictures (not clip art) for accent also make it elegant. Since I mentioned clip art, that would be appropriate for a very casual wedding. Invitations for theme weddings should try to incorporate that theme. It could be background pictures, colors, or any design element that would enhance the theme of the wedding. You see, invitations are as personal as any other aspect of the wedding. Think things through. What do you want to convey with the invitation? Your preferences should be incorporated into your invitation. Let your style shine through. This is just one more aspect that makes your wedding YOUR wedding.
