Where to start

Planning a wedding is a daunting task, but with the help of professionals it can be an enjoyable experience. When looking for invitations you may become overwhelmed with all the styles that there are to choose from. How do you choose? Well first you need to decide what the feel of your wedding will be. Very traditional, black tie, modern, funky, some kind of theme, or anything else you want. Hopefully by the time that you are looking for invitations you have chosen a color scheme or theme for you wedding. It is not imperative that your invitations match your colors, but it should reflect the type of affair that you will have. If you have no clue what type of invitations you want, fear not. You can go to any store that sells invitations and just look through the books. There should be a person there that will take you through the books and answer any questions. Now there are a few different methods to get your invitations, you can order them through a company like Cranes, you can design and put them together yourself or you can buy a pre-made invite and print them yourself or take them to a printer. The best bet is to start researching online, but before you order I would go to a store and feel the stock. There is nothing worse then getting your invitations and having them feel like toilet paper. So, my first tip when starting your search for wedding invitations is to look online and check into the styles that you want then hit the streets and go out and feel those invitations. When you look at the samples in the books it gives you a sense of what the invite will really look like.
