The wedding dress is chosen, the grooms tuxedo is ordered; the reception location and the menu are picked, cake and all sorts of reception design is done. Now its time to choose the wedding invitations.

Knowing that this is the first element that announces the wedding, the invitations have come to represent an extremely important issue. If the wedding invitation is successful, then the whole event itself should be perfect (in theory!!).

When it comes to the wedding invitation, here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Wedding invitations have a role similar to that of the first impression; first off, it announces the wedding, so its mode of presentation should be related to the theme of the wedding and announce its style (romantic, cheerful, classic, nonconformist, etc).
  

• The type of wedding invitation you choose should be able to provide (in a discreet way) information about what type of party the wedding will be.

• It’s best to choose a wedding invitation that will represent you and your fiance

• If you don't want children at your wedding, address your invitations and leave the children's names off it and also don't mention them in the invitation.

• Have friends and family pass the word around that you don't want children at the wedding. Use this type of wording to get your point across - Adult Reception; We hope that the (# of) of you will be able to join us; (# of) seats have been reserved in your names

• If someone hasn't responded to your invitation, at one week past the "Reply by" date, give them a quick call and try and confirm over the phone

• Children over the age of 16 get their own invitation

• Your officiant and their better half get an invitation

• Send your parents and wedding party invitations, as a keepsake

• Always put return postage on your wedding RSVP's.
