Wedding invitations are one of the most important aspects of your wedding day. They are the first announcements of your intentions; thus, they set the tone for the entire celebration while conveying vital information. Obviously, invitations inform your guests of the time, date and location of the ceremony, but more subtly, your invitations provides many more details.

The wording of your wedding invitation may also reflect your own personality and marriage beliefs. You may follow the rigid traditions of the past or create poems and verses expressing your own unique feelings. Wedding invitations should be as personal as the wedding itself; let your invitations be a reflection of you. The Phoenix Press can provide guidance in selecting the perfect words to express your message of love.

The ideal invitation will also emcompass the style, color, and flower themes represented in your ceremony. These unifying invitations will complete your wedding with taste, elegance, and beauty.

Primarily, your invitations should reflect your chosen wedding style. Ultra formal wedding invitations include traditional verses engraved or thermographed on hight quality papers. While simple designsand elegant printing indicate the sophistication of the ultra formal ceremony, formal invitations offer more variety with colored inks and elaborate designs. Semi formal wedding invitations are unique with personalized messages, poems, or photographs and semi formal invitations may be created to be as special as your love. Remember, choose an invitation that represents the importance of the occasion but also one that reflects your individuality.

Your invitation should also reflect your chosen color. A wide selection of colored papers, inks, and lined envelopes create a complete spectrum of colorful options.

Finally, decorate your invitation with your wedding flower. The lilies from your boquet may also grace your invitations or the splendid rose arrangements at the front of the chapel may also enhance your response cards.
