However, there is not one right way to handle this part of your special day. First, you have to decide what “role” you want your invitations to play.
Some people choose to send “Save the Date” cards as well as paper invitations through the mail. Some do not. “Save the Date” cards often serve as a sort of engagement announcement, so if you are not planning on sending out one of these, this is a nice option. The “Save the Date” is fun because you can play with it a little more than your traditional invitation.
One creative “Save the Date” option is a magnet with the information for your wedding. Many of the recipients of your card would put it on the refrigerator anyway so you are saving them a step. And it’s just cute. You can have a picture of the two of you with the logistical information or you can play with a cute graphic or fun pattern.
This option doesn’t have to break the bank, either. Weddingpaperdivas.com has magnet options that sell for as little as $1.99.
When you are sending actual invitations for your wedding, a good tip is to think about the wedding you are planning and mirror the tone with the letter. This way guests will get a good idea of the type of event you are planning by how the invitation is structured. If you want a formal affair, a heavy card stock with classic embossed or monogrammed details sets the tone.
If fun and nontraditional is more your style, something contemporary and unexpected is a great way to let guests know the type of experience that awaits them. Just don’t forget to add all the important information such as date, time, place, and guest expectations. Also, enclosure cards are another option that will help you manage your RSVP information.
