Ink on paper. That’s all an invitation is. It is a mass mailer, invading the mailboxes of unknowing recipients. However, what seperates a wedding invitation from “junk mail” is it’s exclusivity, and of course, it’s purpose. People don’t automatically throw away invites, but within several months, it does reach the untimely demise of the recycling bin.
A tip to all INFJ brides, DO NOT OVER ANALYZE THE INVITE. Although family and friends would like to receive the most exquisite piece of parchment man can make, they will never know that you passed up the hand-made, gold raised ink invites, for the card stock Costco special. Even though your invite is embossed (usually a $.75/invite savings from raised), and on white card stock, it will be cherished until the day after your event. Because it’s not what the print is on, it’s what the print announces.
The wording of your invitation is more important than how it is presented. Many will tell you different, and many will be correct. But in the end, if you have to compromise luxury for price, make sure that the printed copy is accurate, and informational. You can always “pretty up” a simple invite with crafting. You CAN’T reword the invite.
In the end, your invitations will be distributed and your guests will look forward to the big day as much as you are. So don’t stress over the paper…it’ll be recycle in the end.
Be Yourself! Everyone else is taken.
