There are a lot of details and things that you have to take
care of when you are trying to plan a wedding. Before you start making
preparations, first you have to design, print, and dispatch the invitation
cards. Since the Wedding Invitations cards would basically be the first impression, you might want to take enough
time to design and finalize the invitation cards.
You need to select the right paper material, color shades,
design patterns, and the text. You also have to choose the right font type and
size of the text that discloses the details regarding the date, time, and
location of the venue of the wedding. The selection might be as challenging as
selecting the right wedding ring.
Preparing for the perfect invitation card can be quite
stressful. So, here are some details that you must keep in mind.
Maintaining Invitation Timeline
The invitation has to be received by the targeted audience at
least a few months prior to the wedding day. A huge benefit of completing this
early is to ensure that all the invited guests know the date, time, and location
of the venue. With the help of RSVP (elaborated below), you can know how many
guests are coming and how many are not and prepare and finalize everything in
time, saving you from the last moment stress.
What is RSVP?
“RSVP” is a French expression which means “please respond.”
With the mention of RSVP on the invitation
card, it is a request made by the sender to respond back if that receiver
will be attending the wedding or not.

have to ensure all the necessary details are mentioned clearly and avoid using
unnecessary details and illegible calligraphy. Some of the necessary details

Designing The Invitation Cards
Creating & designing the quality of invitation cards can
be quite a nudge a few short details should help in giving you a head start.
Selection of Invitation Card’s Size:
The size of the invitation card must be adequate enough to
admit in all the necessary details in legible font size and style. The most commonly preferred size is 182 mm x 117 mm or (A5). To include the standard
RSVP card which is 107mm x 139mm, it would be best to make it slightly smaller
so that it fits in the final envelope perfectly.
Choosing The Appropriate Orientation:
Invitation cards for weddings are either landscape or
portrait. Mostly they happen to be portrait because of the quantity of short
sentenced information. Meanwhile, RSVP is finalized in the landscape format.
Designing of The Layout:
Invitation cards are mostly done from either of the two ways,
folded or flat card with some inserts. Folded might be expensive but are much
more beneficial as they have better visibility.
Few Other Tips for Design Could Include:
- Import the colors/shades and patterns in a manner that shows the trailer of how it will be done.
- Ensure that the theme the font style and size are in contrast with the background.
- Simplicity is with its decency for text background.

one last thing that can ruin everything accomplished if failed in taken care

takes everything at a critical point as a lot of problems can arise like very
delayed deliveries or wrong address deliveries and should be dealt with before
