Stationery: wedding invitations and program information for the bride

Wedding Invitations

Wedding Invitations can be ordered from a variety of companies. Take time to browse through different sources to get an idea of the choices and styles available. Here are some popular online catalog companies (you can request a printed catalog from most of them):

Helpful tips: You will want to consider matching thank you notes. Also, many of these companies also sell other products you might want, such as cake cutters, cake toppers, bubbles or birdseed with your names and wedding date printed on them (for guests to use as you leave the reception), favors (chocolate kisses, nuts, etc.), etc.

Budget notes: There are also computer programs that allow you to create your own invitations. If you have a tight budget, you might consider this, but be sure to calculate the cost of your preference in special paper, printer ink, and the computer program itself when considering this do-it-yourself option. Often you will find that ordering invitations is as cheap or cheaper, and companies allow options such as embossing, vellum cover, and other fancy additions that would be extremely time consuming for you to do yourself.
