When it comes to weddings, there certainly are a lot of things to consider and to get done before the big day. One of the more important items on the pre-wedding to-do list is choosing your wedding invitations. With so many options to choose from, how can you know which ones to buy? There are several questions you can ask yourself to help narrow down your search and lead you to the ones that will be perfect for your wedding.

1. How formal or informal is your wedding going to be? If you are going for formal, traditional wedding etiquette says that invitations should be printed on a heavyweight card stock in a white, ivory, or cream shade. Black classic fonts and perhaps a muted colored ribbon or slightly raised white or silver detailing is also appropriate. If you are going for less formal, the acceptable styles, colors, and themes are virtually limitless.

2. What is your wedding theme and color scheme? Typically your wedding invitations will be the first impression guests will have of your big day, so you will want to make sure you select a style that will accurately represent what you wish your big day to look and feel like.

3. How many wedding invitations will you need? Something as simple as invitations can add up quickly. The weight and quality of the paper, choice of ink color, and size can all effect the cost. So it’s a good idea to keep these things in mind as you consider which wedding invitations to choose, and also to set a budget at the onset so you don’t overextended yourself financially.

4. What’s the best way to have them made? The most economical way is to choose pre-made wedding invitations, though your options will be more limited. What a lot of people do is actually make their own. This affords a special opportunity to add a personal touch. But if you aren’t sure you have the time to create handmade wedding invitations, you could always go the custom-printing route which allows you to match your wedding theme and mood more precisely than pre-made invitations.

Overall, when it comes to choosing your wedding invitations, what it essentially comes down to then is choosing the ones which are both within your budget and will best reflect your wedding. If you keep these things in mind, you simply can't go wrong.
