Now that you are engaged and have had your engagement party, taken your engagement portraits and have decided upon a date by sending out you save the date cards/magnets it is now time for you to decide on your wedding invitations. Your wedding invitations are very important in conveying the team of your wedding. In your wedding invitation you may also include the theme/color of the wedding and request that the guest doesn’t wear that color. You and you fiance can come to an agreement as it relates to the colors that you would want to choose. This may tie in with the save the dates that you sent out. The wording of the invitations is also just as important as the invitation itself.
These are some examples of how to word your invitation depending on if both parents are inviting or the parents of the bride are inviting the guests.

This is quite a nice idea! My girlfriend’s been having a lot of shivering when she is thinking about our wedding in the future. I would surely share this with her. We have also found Silver Screen Invites. They make DVD invites, which I think is quite nice since the people that we will be inviting will see our sincerity.
