You could send out a typical save the date card, or even an off-the-peg wedding invitation that will do the job well.
There are lots of designs out there that will fulfil your needs and tell the world about your upcoming union.
Wouldn’t you rather send out an eye-catching declaration of your love that means a little more, though? If this is the case, then it’s time to get serious about your wedding party invitations and send a clear message to your family and friends that this is not going to be an average wedding.
The classic way, of course, is to hire a photographer and capture the essence of your love for each other. That can be walking down a beach or standing on a mountain hand in hand, where you first met or even your own home. Just capture an image that is beautiful, radiant and special, and then turn it into a heart-warming story with your own additional text.
If that doesn’t do it for you, then think about the things you hold dear. If you’re a horsey couple then there’s nothing wrong with a photo at the stables, or even a clever twist on the theme with a horse-drawn carriage. If you both work in marketing then get creative and send out a piece of direct mail, carefully done so it doesn’t get filed in the bin with the latest cut-price offerings for life insurance and double glazing, of course. If your dog is like the child you haven't had yet, get them in on the action.
If you’re going to step off the standard menu and venture into the world of a la carte, the critical thing is to get it right. Make sure it’s personal, make sure it stands out and make sure it means something to you and your guests, and that you’ll remember the invitations as an integral part of your wedding build-up.
If that’s not the case, spend the money on the dress or the party instead and be happy with the myriad of off-the-shelf options out there. But, done right, bespoke wedding invitations will help set the scene for the big day itself. Make sure your wedding invitations have that personal touch that sets them apart by visiting Putty Print.
