wedding invitation

Making your own wedding invitations is a perfect way to personalize your wedding and add a bit of flare and style to your special day. With DIY wedding invitations you can show off your creative side, and you can demonstrate great attention to detail by going to the extent of making these flourishes. By making your own DIY wedding invitations then you suggest that there will be a generally high attention to detail throughout the wedding and that they can expect the same style and flair in every aspect. Likewise by showing attention to detail you can help then to generate excitement for the wedding, and actually get your guests in the mood to come. Guests will feel flattered and impressed that you went to the trouble to make them the wedding invitations yourself and they will as such feel more inclined to come (and who knows, maybe to bring a nice gift). There's more to DIY wedding invitations too, as it allows you to include as much information as you need to, and it allows you to continue a theme. For instance if you've gone with a nautical theme for your wedding, then you could have a boarder made from anchors. Or if you just want a very traditional and romantic wedding then you could go with your more regular wedding paraphernalia around the edge. On top of this you can use personalized messages and this will help you to ensure that your guests feel as though they have been invited by you personally and they will be touched and grateful as a result - and again more likely to want to come and to think highly of the wedding before it begins. It also means that you can portray the feel of the wedding and the specifics without just resorting to a standard message that might not apply to your wedding or that might have the wrong kind of personality and feel. You want them to feel like this is coming from you. The alternative of course is to send general wedding invitations that you just find in a store or online and to send them out as they are with the name written in them in pen. This will include a pre-set message and a generic boarder and background. This looks cheap and almost as though you can't be bothered to go to the effort of creating more unique and stylized invitations, and it will furthermore not be at all unique - so there's a chance that someone will even have had the same wedding invitation before to a different wedding - it's not a great way to make the event feel special. When choosing your DIY wedding invitations you will also be able to pick things like size and material, and if not you can shop around online to do this and look at different stores. Make sure you make invitations that are good quality and durable - again this will ensure that they get people in the mood for your wedding and they will help to make the day feel truly special before it's even begun.
