Wedding Stationery and Invitations - Choosing the Right Style

Of course you can buy your wedding stationery and invitations from your local stationer but they won't be special to you; anyone can buy them. If you want your wedding stationery and invitations to be unique, you need to choose the right style.
When it comes to stylish wedding invitations, the choice is enormous.
Firstly, colour; cream and white predominate but there are all sorts of combinations available using brown, mauve, pink, blue or just about anything you want.
Secondly you need to choose what type of invitation you want. There's the traditional folded card, double folded card or a scroll but I think that the most stylish wedding invitations are those which come individually boxed.
Really stylish wedding invitations come decorated in all sorts of ways from silk flowers and chiffon or satin ribbon to decorative pearls or diamonds. Elegantly embossed flowers, leaves or hearts complete the picture.
If your wedding has a specific theme or colour scheme then you may want your wedding stationery and invitations to match up with that.
If you want to inject humour or romance into your wedding then there are invitations to match. How about a Disney theme or animals and birds or a fairy tale?
Are you holding your wedding on a beach? You can get beautiful wedding stationery and invitations with beach scenes or palm trees.
Don't forget to think about the stationery that you'll need other than the invitations. You may want menu cards, table number cards, place cards and thank you notes.
Other accessories available are table napkins, individual boxed chocolates, ribbons, candles and place card holders.
Basically, choosing the right style for your wedding stationery and invitations is a personal thing and they should suit the type of wedding and your personality.
After all, if you don't go for frills and flowers, your friends will think you've gone mad if you choose that style for your wedding and if you're usually a serious person then Disney invitations aren't going to be suitable either.
