Etiquette for Invitations and Announcements


What to Consider When Looking for the Perfect Invitation

There are so many invitations to decide between, but the process will take less time if you know what you want or what interests you. Take into consideration the formality of the event, the number of guests you will have, your personal taste, whether there is some kind of theme, and if there are special colors that will be incorporated into the event. Ecru is the most traditional wedding color, but you may want to match your invitation to your dress. If your event color is green, you can look for an invitation with green accents, or you may use green ink and matching envelope liner to incorporate your event color.

How much should I budget for invitations?

The best thing you can do is to start browsing invitations or announcements to get a feel for the styles that appeal to you.  Once you have found a handful of  items, start reviewing the prices to get an idea of what each invitation and coordinating items cost per person. Then, multiply the cost per person number for each invitation by the number of guests you will be inviting and that should give you a pretty close price range for what the total paper costs will be.
