The importance of a well chosen wedding invitation is often overlooked by brides. Your wedding invitation is one of the first things your guests see. It sets the first impression, conveys the theme of your wedding, how grand or informal it is, and of course the colours the guests can expect to see at your wedding. The key to finding the perfect wedding invitation is to find the one that best matches: 1) the theme of your wedding; 2) the level of formality at your wedding, that is, is it a beach wedding or is it a black tie event at Casa Loma; 3) the colours of your wedding; 3) your own personal style, whether you are more traditional, more contemporary, or a unique flare; 4) the final criteria is the ever important budget. Custom wedding invitations can range anywhere from a little under $200 to over $1,000 for 200 invitations. Make sure you find an invitation within your budget but don't ever skimp on wedding invitations as your guests will go to your wedding with poor expectations.
