Must be my age or something, but I've been to more weddings in the last 3 years then most people would in a lifetime.
This weekend we're travelling to my cousin's wedding, he lives in North London, but has decided to get married just South of Birmingham.... not sure why.
Anyway, today's wedding related post is about their wedding invitation. Now, I gather that it's going to be a big affair. The bride has a large family and there's going to be a big wedding guest list, all very traditional.
The invitation arrived not that long ago, and when I opened it I was a little surprised to see the cover of the invitation had a photo of the happy couple in fancy dress !
This leads me to think about the perfect wedding invitations, and if there is such a thing?
This particular wedding invite, opened up and had several cards inside, packed with information for the wedding guests, including how to get to the ceremony, details about the hotel and wedding present list info. It was a great wedding invitation, I was just a little surprised to see some dodgy fancy dress photo on the front cover.
My wife hand made every single wedding invitation for our wedding, even all the evening invitations. They were lovely, nice little flowers glued to the front, there were very personal and attractive.
Some of my other mates sent a card from a shop with two cartoon bride and groom frogs on the front, and the words "we're getting hitched" Not quite as much effort, but they looked nice and of course we got the point - we were invited to their wedding day !
So today's ramblings in conclusion, if you're sending out wedding invitations to your guests, don't worry so much about what you think the guests opinion of them are, just send your invites out and the recipients will be equally as happy to of been invited to your wedding day !
Happy Wedding Planning !
