1. Theme of the card
The theme is probably the first issue you consider when you are planning a wedding. This is also true when you are planning for your wedding invitations. In most cases, you will make the theme of the cards inline with that of your event. This will create a sense of uniqueness of both your event and the card.
2. Materials of the invitation
There are various materials you can choose from. Of course in most cases you will choose paper as the main material of the card. There are also different types of paper. For example, you may want to go for 100 cotton paper if you are going to choose a letterpress card. There are also a lot of other choices. You will need to consider both the texture and thickness of the paper you are going to choose. Usually, the cover of the card will be thicker.
3. Working with a designer
There are a lot of choices in the market. However, there may be brides and grooms who want to make the wedding invitations very unique and special. You may need to work with a designer in this case. The idea here is that you will need the help from the designer to create your own wedding cards. You need to work closely with the designer so that you can get what you really want.
4. When to order the cards
You need to make sure that your guests will have enough time to reply you after they receive your wedding invitations. You will need to send the cards at least 12 weeks before your big day. This means that you will need to order the cards even earlier. Usually, it can take up to 6 months for you to produce the cards. As a result, you may need to order them 7 months before your big day. It is always a good idea for you to order early.
Now, you should understand how you are going to choose your wedding invitations. As a matter of fact, it is not difficult for you to make your choice. Remember, you will need to consider both your preference and the practical issues. A balance between them will be essential. You will also have to consider your budget. You will not choose a design which is not affordable. This is because you do not want to be in debt after your wedding. If you have a tight budget, there are also a lot of companies which will provide discount items.
