If by now the date is fixed, the Church and the location have been confirmed, the time has come to find out how to choose the Participations.
But before the invitations there is another “small” thing that you will have to have already defined in order not to find yourself having uncoordinated details: the style and graphics that you will want to recall for your wedding day.
In fact, she has the important task of communicating to your friends and relatives where, how and when your big day will take place and invite them to your party and already from this you can leak some clues of what the guests will breathe on the day of the event.
Here I reveal some useful advice for the drafting of the invitations:
The data
While it is true that fewer and fewer spouses choose to have their families present the wedding, it is equally important, however, to always report the names (in full) of the spouses, the date and time of the wedding, the addresses (church / town hall, of location, house of spouses) and the telephone numbers to which the guests can confirm their presence, especially if you remember to also indicate a welcome RSVP (from the French Répondez, s’il vous plaît ) with the date by which you will need to receive it.
Customization
The invitations will be the “business card” of your wedding. Already from these you can understand the type of wedding you are going to realize: therefore try to choose them in harmony with the style and tone you want to give to the entire event, whether more formal and regal or simple and festive. If you like the idea of having an exclusive product, only yours, to be created and designed from scratch, you can take advantage of the custom graphics service.
Times
Whether they are sent, for the furthest friends and relatives, or delivered by hand, do not leave too early or even at the last minute. Three months before the event will be the perfect timing to ensure that your guests have plenty of time to organize themselves and give you their confirmation (about 2/3 weeks before the big day).
How to end them
Avoid abbreviations and titles like Dott and Ing, and it is very welcome to buy a nice pen and letter the envelopes yourself, or get help from your witness who has a beautiful handwriting.
Other details
In recent times it happens that the spouses want to insert the Iban code in the invitations, useful for their guests to send their gift. Be careful though, you could risk slipping on an inelegant shape, so I suggest you attach a separate card where you can enter the details of your current account accompanied by a nice and nice phrase, for example “ Here begins our story. Thanks to you who by contributing will help us to make it happen in the best way. ” or “What really matters is celebrating our union together with those we love. The destination of our honeymoon, however, is very far away: if you want, you can help us reach it. “
Save the date
If you do not want to miss anything, a very nice, modern and above all economic thing can be to create a ” Save the Date” with a photo of you, perhaps taken ad hoc through the pre-wedding photo shoot, by entering the wedding date that you can send via Whatsapp to all your guests when asking for confirmation at your wedding!
