Invitations; Perfect and Pricey

So my friends, today me and my fiance, who's name is Jonathan by the way, went to look at invitations. Let me tell you, those things are quite pricey! Both me and Jonathan liked the plain pearl boarder invitations that don't have too much on them. The price, however, is around $1500 for 150 people! I must say though, if you are looking for invitations, go to Papyrus. They have a special sale going on right now.

Speaking of invitations, let's discuss the Do's and Dont's when it comes to invitations.

 DO'S: 
 - Go to the invitation place 4-6 months before your wedding day. It takes 1 month to get the invitations in, and you need time to proof read all the names. God forbid there is a mistake, you have time to fix it. Plus, you want to give your guests time to respond.

 - Give yourself the opportunity to browse, but when you find something you like, SETTLE! It sounds strange but if you keep looking, you will simply confuse yourself.

 - Buy a package consisting of the invitation, RSVP, name card and thank you note. That way you will not give yourself a headache looking for everything separately.

 DONT'S:
 - Don't get an invitation with a bow. I know it looks pretty, but when the invitation is in the envelope, the bulging part from the bow will be soiled by the time your guest receives the invitation.

 - Don't make invitations yourself. I know its cheaper but you want to make an impression on your guests. The invitation is a sneak peak at the wedding, remember that.

 - Don't put too much on your invitation. Elegance is key. The less, the more elegant. (But really that's up to you!)

 - Don't wait until the last minute to get the invitations. You don't want your guests finding out about the wedding 1 day prior to the big day!

So that is pretty much it. And remember, the invitation must say something about you! HAVE FUN LOVES!
