Wedding Invitation Sample

Wedding Invitation Sample - tradition

A Wedding Invitation Sample is generally provided by the stationer to allow the bride and her mother to select the style of invitation card that they want. The wedding invitation is a very important part of a wedding, and the form it takes is rooted in tradition. However, there are many ways in which that tradition can be followed, and you do no just send any old card, but one selected to suit your own specific requirements.

A Wedding Invitation Sample can come in a number of possible designs, and although traditional invitations say more or less the same things, you are not duty bound to be traditional. If you are having a themed wedding, for example, you can dispense with tradition and be more informal in your style of card. Similarly if you don’t intent to have the traditional style of wedding, but something more avant garde, you can design and word your invitation in any way you want.

Wedding Invitation Sample - theme

Hence, a beach Wedding Invitation Sample can be on any color of card, and even contain a beach or maritime theme. The wording is usually less formal and more an invitation to joint the happy couple on the beach for a great wedding and beach barbecue afterwards. Numbers for a beach wedding frequently need not be as precise as for a church or chapel wedding, although you still want a reasonable idea for the barbecue catering.

Nevertheless, even for the less formal style of card, you will still want a Wedding Invitation Sample to see how they might look. When choosing an invitation card, it is usual for the bride to visit a local printer and check out their catalogue of invitation samples, or to browse online. In the latter case you should make a selection of several possibilities and request physical samples, since items can look different on a screen.

Wedding Invitation Sample - choices

You should first decide on the general shape and style of your card, and then look to the details. Do you want the Wedding Invitation Sample to be on textured or plain card? Plain or deckled edges? White or colored? How stiff do you want the card, or in printer’s terms, what gram weight should it be? You have a wide choice of different types of card and paper, and you can even have a sheet of tissue paper inside the card that is a remnant of when the invitations were hand written using ink. The tissue protected the writing from blots and transfer of ink to the other half of the card.

A Wedding Invitation Sample will also provide a selection of possible fonts for you to choose from. There are a number of scripted fonts that can be either in black or colored ink, or foil blocked in gold, silver, or any other color of your choice. The wording is also very important, and the wedding card is traditionally an invitation from the parents of the bride, irrespective of who is paying. However, it has lately become quite common for the person who is paying to send the invitations, though not strictly correct.

Wedding Invitation Sample - venues

You might also need two types of wedding invitation: one to the ceremony and reception, and one for the reception only. This is because ceremony venues can often be restricted in capacity in comparison to the reception venue. You will then invite close family and friends to the ceremony, and then have all the rest join you in the celebration afterwards. You will have to check out a Wedding Invitation Sample of both types of invitation.

Not only that, but if you want people to attend your wedding, but have not yet been able to arrange a venue for either the ceremony or the reception, you might want to give them some advance warning. This might be especially true if you are planning a destination wedding, but have not yet decided where. You may then decide to send your guests a ‘save the day’ card, to let them know your intentions, and for them to keep that day, or even few days, free in their diary.

Wedding Invitation Sample - requirements

You can then send out the actual wedding invitation later once you know your arrangements. You will want to have a look at ‘save the day’ type of Wedding Invitation Sample, in addition to your regular wedding invitation samples. The whole point of seeing samples is that you will know exactly what you are paying for; you and your parents will want to send out the nicest invitations that you can.

In order to achieve that, you will want to find a Wedding Invitation Sample that looks just like you want it, and whether that is from a local printer’s sample book or from a number of samples provided to you by an online printer, it makes no difference. You will know what you are ordering and will not be taking the chance of being disappointed when the finished card is delivered to you.
