Tips for choosing the best wedding Invitations



  • Guest list: You should finalise your guest list before you can think of ordering your wedding Invitations because your guest list will determine how many Invitations are needed. It is important that you order a few extra Invitations as well in case there are any last minute additions or corrections that need to be made. These extras should amount to approximately 15% of your total number of guests.

  • Wedding theme and colours: The overall wedding theme will play a big role in deciding what the wedding invitation should look like. If you are having a traditional formal wedding then your Invitations should be sophisticated and elegant. If you are having a casual wedding then you Invitations can be a simple printed card.

  • Making your own Invitations: You can buy ready-made wedding Invitations, have them customised or make them yourself. Many couples choose to make their own Invitations because it is more personal, unique and can save a lot of money.
