A wedding announcement is sent out around the time you get married, or around the time you get engaged (depending on who’s sending them). These are usually sent to people who aren’t going to be invited to the wedding due to constraints on the number of people who can attend, or their distance from the venue. These say that you’re married or that you’re going to be, and they require no kind of information from the person who receives them. While people who receive a wedding announcement can send you a gift, and you would certainly welcome that, there is no obligation for them to send a gift.

Announcements are generally used after a very small, intimate ceremony, or after a couple elopes. They can be printed or hand written on formal cardstock or on wedding stationery, and it’s important to remember that they aren’t a requirement. They definitely do not take the place of an individual thank you note sent to anyone who sent wedding presents or to guests. A thank you note is just that; a thank you for a gift, not an announcement of any sort. Keep wording clear and short on your announcement – just a few lines. If you or your fiance’s parents are hosting the wedding, write the announcement from their perspective. This process doesn’t need to take too long and should not be a source of stress for anyone. Make writing your wedding announcements a fast, simple procedure, and don’t spend too much.

Wedding invitations are another matter. They’re always sent before the wedding and are only sent to the people you’d like to have attend the ceremony itself. This kind of invitation should include a card and envelope for the recipient to use to respond, and should be sent out with a significant amount of time between its mailing and the wedding. The more people that will need to travel, the earlier the invitation should be sent out. Make sure that you know who will be on the guest list and send invitations to only these people. For the rest, announcements are a better choice.

Wedding announcements are an excellent way to let people who aren’t as close to you know that you’ve gotten married, and they’re an easy way to do it. From distant family and friends to professional colleagues, they’re the method of choice for telling people who weren’t your guests of the happy news. Just don’t confuse them with wedding invitations.

Fortunately, finding a great invitation and thank you card design is much easier than it once was.  Printers are offering more customization options than ever before.  There is also an increasing trend toward cards that are handmade, with a growing number of card makers to choose from.  And for those who pride themselves on their creativity, you can even make your own invitations in a number of ways.

Custom Printed Invitations

Many printers now offer the option of printing a completely original message on your invitations and thank you cards.  Instead of just adding the couple’s and parents’ names, you can write your own verse if you like.  They may also offer a selection of prewritten verses that you can use on any card.

Some printers will even include custom graphics or photos on your invitations.  This option is great if you want a truly unique card but like the idea of having it printed by a professional.  Your printer can give you the details of the formats and specifications of images that you may use.

Handmade Invitations

Handmade cards are very special, and often highly ornate.  There are great card makers out there who will craft your invitations with lots of love and attention to detail.  This service can be rather pricey, so it is a good idea to get an estimate before proceeding.

Handmade cards can incorporate pretty ribbon, lace, and a variety of other materials.  A good card maker can advise you as to which materials will work best.  It is important to remember that you will be mailing the invitations and thank you notes, so the cards will have to be flat enough for that.

Making Your Own Invitations

Computer programs can help you make all sorts of cards, including invitations and thank you notes.  With some card stock paper and a good printer, you can print very nice cards at home.  There are also high quality printing services that will print the cards that you design if you like.

If you have the time, you could make cards by hand as well.  It takes lots of patience and attention to detail, but a card made by you is a beautiful way to request guests’ presence at your wedding.  You could also spruce up printed cards by hand if you like.

When it comes to wedding invitations and thank you notes, today’s couples have more options than ever.  Whether you have a custom message printed on your cards or design them carefully by hand, you can make your own wedding invitations of your dreams.

Any misused, abused, or unethical choice of words may result to misunderstandings or misinterpretations between and among the guests.

Generally, wedding invitation wording should be clearly established to avoid confusions and misconception. There are instances were words may have several meanings depending on how it is used in a sentence.

Moreover, the wordings must accurately define the details of the wedding like the date, the exact time, and the place where the wedding ceremony will take place. These things should be clearly stated because there are cases wherein most guests directly assume that once they are invited, it means that they are asked to attend to the wedding ceremony and the reception.

However, there are some weddings that the couple would usually invite people just for the reception. In this case, the couple has decided to make the wedding very private and that they only want their immediate relatives present during the ceremony. The guests are asked to attend on the reception already.

Hence, to avoid confusion and delusion, it is best to carefully state in the invitation the purpose of the invitation.

On the other hand, wedding invitation wordings may also vary depending on certain circumstances that the couple has no control of. An example is the concept of who paid for the wedding.

In this instance, it is best to choose words that would pay respect to the party whom the recognition is due but should also be made in conformity with the ethical standards, in which the feelings of the other party should be considered also.

For example, if in case that the bride’s parents are the ones who had paid for the wedding, then, the wordings on the wedding invitation should state that it is the bride’s parent s who are requesting for the presence of the guests.

Alternatively, the setting of the wedding should also be considered when establishing the wedding invitation wording.

If the wedding is informal and will only take place in a home, then it is best to replace the usual words being used in formal invitations to a more casual tone but still with respect.

Boiled down, any kind of wordings will do when making wedding invitations a long as the words are in conformity to the ethical standards set by the society and as patterned on the innate dignity of man.

Best of all, the details of the wedding should be clearly stated, otherwise, the wedding invitation will definitely lose its main purpose.
