Your wedding stationery can set the tone and atmosphere of your wedding if you want it to so don't overlook the importance of well designed invitations.
There are many choices for you to consider as to where you will purchase your wedding stationery.
If you are wanting alot of control over the design then your local printer may be your best option but don't rule out internet based companies if you are on a tight budget as they have hundreds of design templates to choose from. |

If you are having a themed wedding or a specific colour scheme then incorporate some details into the design of your stationery. |
| |
|
Consider what style best reflects your wedding and personality. The invitations can be modern, funny, traditional and classic. Your stationery should compliment the style of your wedding. |
| |
|
Make sure you approve the design and proof read the text before they are all printed. You should ideally choose your stationery about 6 months before the wedding day and have them ready for posting about 12 weeks before the date. |

|
Wedding stationery is not just invitations, consider evening invitations, reception menus, table place cards, photograph album covers, gift boxes, order of service, guest comments book and thank you cards. |

|
Who should you send invitations too? |
| One invitation per couple. |
| One invitation for each of your attendants and their parents. |
| One invitation for the officiant and his/her partner. |
| One invitation per single guest. |
| Younger children are named on their parents invitation. |
| Over 18 get their own invitation even if they are attending with parents. |
|
| |
|
Traditionally the invitations are sent out by the hosts of the wedding, usually the bride's parents but it could also be the groom's parents or in this modern world the couple themselves. |
