Many brides desire for every aspect of their wedding to be unique and different. From the dress to the wedding cake, getting creative is of extreme importance. Another area in which brides want something unique is wedding stationary. The following are 4 artistic and creative stationary ideas that will help set your wedding invitation apart from all the others.
* Photo card invitations. Instead of choosing a traditional invitation, consider giving your guests a photo card with the wedding date information on the back. The photo card can double as a picture and a wedding invite. Your guest will enjoy having the option of keeping the picture as a keepsake.
One of the best reasons to opt for a Friday wedding is to save money. In most cities and towns, couples can save anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars by having their event on Friday instead of Saturday. When you are on a tight budget, that can make a huge difference! If you really want to see your savings multiply, consider a Friday during the wedding off season, like mid-January. Vendors and venues will be so happy to have your business that you will be in a strong position to negotiate the best possible prices. You are likely to save on site fees, photography costs, entertainment, and maybe even the catering and flowers.
* E-vites. Many brides are choosing to incorporate the “green” theme into their wedding. This can be a truly unique way to announce your big day. E-vites save time and money. It is simple as creating a beautifully designed email and sending it out to all of your guests a couple of weeks before the wedding.
Carefully consider the time of day for your Friday nuptials. An evening wedding can make a lot of sense, as it will allow local guests to come after work. You have to make sure that you schedule things so that they get a chance to eat dinner, though. So you could either have a 5 o’clock ceremony followed by dinner (with the assumption that guests will leave work a bit early) or plan a night ceremony that starts at 7:30 or 8pm, so guests can grab a quick dinner before they come.
If you are looking to be set apart on your big day, make sure even the smallest details are truly unique. From photo cards to rubber stamped invitations created by you, there are many ways in which your wedding stationary can be one of a kind.
A final tip for a Friday evening wedding is to plan a Saturday morning brunch. This is especially nice for out-of-town guests who had to travel to get to your wedding. A morning brunch will allow you to spend a little extra time with everyone, and then they can still fly home that afternoon if they wish. All in all, Fridays can work out very nicely for weddings.
