FREE WEDDING PLANNERELEGANT WEDDING PLANNED ON A SHOESTRING BUDGET
WEDDING PLANNER - YOUR WEDDING INVITATIONSINVITATIONS Color printers and copiers have opened up a wonderful new world for the decorator in each of us! The following suggestions may help trigger some ideas of your own. Get out your creative juices and let them flow! Most of the suggestions utilize a computer for inputting and printing your chosen words. Please bear in mind that the cost of a few generic invitations is nominal, including postage with benefits making it well worth the small investment. You can spray or dust your invitations with perfume, cologne or powder if desired to create a romantic scent!
Theme-Oriented Invitations: Do you and your fiancée share a favorite identifiable interest?
Examples are famous singers, movie stars, a specific animal, a sport, or a landscape. For instance, if you both like tigers, then locate a great photograph of one, scan it into your computer then print it off on paper. You may carry this a step further; read on below.
Perfect Words of Love: The verse that you put on your invitation can be located through a myriad of sources. Visit your local card shop and check out some of their most popular wedding invitations. Generally, these must be ordered but they have samples in the store that you are free to browse through. Another good source is again, the faithful library. Beautiful love poems can be found on the Internet by the droves. Or, you may choose to write your own special love sonnet for your invitations.
Using Unique Sheets of Paper as Invitations: If you visit your local office store, ask to see if they sell unique single-sheets of paper. Although these are referred to as single-sheets, the store will generally have a small stack of uniquely designed sheets. You may just find something that exudes what you and your fiancée represent as a couple.
Personal Invitations: Find a great photograph of you and your fiancée and have it copied onto your invitation paper. Include a verse that you can write on your computer, then transfer onto the paper that has your picture on it.
Generic Invitations: Generic invitations are perhaps your most economical and fastest mode for delivering your wedding announcement. Most dollar stores, five-and-dime stores, ‘supermarts’ and party stores carry generic invitations. They won’t be as resilient as the expensive versions; however, the idea is to get everyone to the party, not dazzle them with a card that’s probably going to eventually end up in the trash. Think about it; how many people save wedding invitations other than the bride and groom and their families?
Internet Magic: There are so many electronic card sites on the net that can carry your wedding invitation for free! You’ll not only save a bundle on the invitations, but postage is also free!
Announcing Your Invitation: If you happen to become engaged close to a family gathering, it’s the perfect time to announce your engagement and issue the invitation all at once. You may even chalk up a few volunteers to assist you with the planning and the expenses associated with your wedding. This has another advantage; you’ll only have to purchase a few invitations for your friends who of course, weren’t at the family gathering.
Telephone The Invitation: Did you ever play a game as a child where everyone got in a circle and whispered something in the person’s ear next to them, and then it traveled around until it came full circle? Why not use this ‘game’ to announce your wedding? Call someone and ‘tag’ him or her. You’ll have to work out a list so that everyone will be notified. This can be a fun way to get out your invitation!
