Let Your Invitations Set the Mood
Your invitations are the first taste your friends and family will get of your big day. Whether you are having an elegant black tie affair or a Hawaiian luau, have your invites give a sneak peak into what your guests will experience. Your invites should reflect the colors of your event. The font used on your invites speaks volumes, as it will let your guests know how elegant or playful your wedding might be. This font is usually carried throughout the wedding day in the program and place cards. Fonts should be easy to read for the youngest and oldest of eyes and should never go below pt. 10 in size. For a fun and playful feel, add a picture of the lucky couple.
Remember, invitations need to be sent out at least 2 months in advance. If you have people that will need to be traveling from out of state, they need to set reservations for travel. A save-the-date card is a great idea to give those traveling a heads up to start making their plans. These can be sent out as soon as you set your date. The sooner you send them, the better.
