Thats it, you have everything covered. Youve found the perfect man to marry, the perfect ring, and youve selected the perfect day for the wedding! Now all you need are the perfect wedding invitations to send to your guests. But youre a stylish woman, so youll most definitely want to announce your big day with style. Now how do we go about it?

Get personal! Add a glossy photograph to your invitation. Did you know that you can have your image printed directly on the invitation card? You can. Your invitations text can be printed on the translucent overlay and your photograph can be displayed beneath it. Guests can keep the whole invitation card as a keepsake.

If youre not too revved up on that idea, you can always insert a regular recent photograph for all of your friends and loved ones. Or, if you really want to be unique--have your faces printed on a custom envelope seal! Thatll make everyone say oh, how different! Whichever way to you about it, your loved ones will love to see a recent photograph of you and your soon-to-be spouse.

So while were thinking about custom envelope seals , lets get truly unique and consider the envelopes for your invitation. Think Vellum! Thats right, the same translucent paper that can be seen inside of invitations, can now we used for the envelope itself! This sheer paper wraps around your card like gift-wrap. Its very simple, yet very elegant and unique. Have your recipients addresses printed on it for a striking and bold effect.

For couples who may not see family on a daily basis: get personal. Whether youve been studying abroad, or youre just across the miles--now is an important time to fill your family in with details. Make your own personal wedding website to coincide with your wedding invitations. Have the website address printed on every invitation so your families can log onto it. Theres many things you can place on your website, such as the story of how you met your spouse-to-be, a daily planner (so guests can see how much effort youre putting into the big day), your bridal registry information, contact information/address where you are holding the wedding, , and a guest book (to see who actually logged on!).

Your invitations, website, place-cards, wedding programs, and thank you notes should all carry the same theme. The designs shouldnt really differ much from one another. By doing this, youre making a bold statement that says youre focused in your choices. After all, this is YOUR wedding and you want to look ready, confident, and focused.
