Wedding magnets to save the dates

Worst fear for wedding planners

If you are planning a wedding, what might be your greatest fear. Don't know about you, mine is after sending out all the invitation cards, the guests forgot and didn't turn up. It is pretty embarrassing to end up with a wedding ceremony or wedding dinner where majority of invited guests didn’t turn up and you have an almost empty church or restaurant where the wedding dinner is supposed to be held.

Solution to possible absent invited guests

One of the way is to call up each and every one on the invitation list to remind them, but this is not the ideal solution as for one, it will take a lot of work and time and guests may be irritated by constant reminders. A better solution to this possible nightmare is to use Save the dates magnets to be sent out together with the invitation cards. Then invited guests can use those magnets to stick the invitation cards to the refrigerator or other metallic appliances to save the dates. Now you have a reminder for invited guests without having to call each and everyone to remind them.

Fun and modern shower invitation cards

When my eldest daughter got married less than a year ago, she was very fortunate. She had fun, modern and colorful wedding invitation cards to give out. How? Her future father-in-law is a partner in a company that import used printing machines, recondition and resell them. And a customer offered to print the cards for free!!!!

Not only that, her church friend offered to design her wedding card. Wow! Her wedding cards were sure colorful, fun, modern and unique.

I don't know whether she was fortunate or unfortunate in one sense - it is not a practice to hold bridal shower like in the United States of America. I understand although bridal shower originated from Brussels, Belgium, it remains a primarily US and Canadian practice. So if you are residing in these 2 countries, you will likely to have a bridal shower in addition to the wedding ceremony and reception. That means you will need to get and send bridal shower invitations as well. If so, perhaps you would also like fun, colorful and modern shower invitation cards like my daughter's wedding cards. They are available from Bridal Shower Invitations.

It will be good etiquette to also send Thank You Cards after the events. These days, people are all busy attending to various things, and it is very easy to forget important events. It will be embarrassing to have your very important occasion half empty because those invited and accepted forgot. If you are afraid of that, you can give them special Save The Date Wedding Magnets. Then you can sleep peacefully knowing everything will go well on that important date.

There are lots of other things on offer in that site. Surf over there and see for yourself.

Wedding Invitation Wording

Wedding Invitation Wording by Lorna Mclaren

Getting your Wedding Invitation Wording correct is important. After all the wedding invitation wording is what relays to the guests the time and place they are to join you.



Wedding invitation wording needs to be clear. Wedding guests need to know exactly what portion of your wedding day they are being invited to. Some wedding invitation wording will state that a guest is invited to the whole day, ceremony and reception. Some wedding invitation wording will only state the time of the reception.



There is a certain etiquette that goes along with clear wedding invitation wording with a church wedding have the more formal wedding invitation wording. Something along the lines of





Mr & Mrs The Brides Parents

request the honor of

(handwritten name of guest)

at the marriage of their daughter

Brides name

with

Grooms name

taking place on

date and time clearly stated

at

wedding venue clearly stated

thereafter at

wedding reception venue clearly stated.





Please reply



If you do not want to hand write all your wedding guests names into your wedding invitations replacing the handwritten part with the wedding invitation wording of "request the honor of your presence" is totally fine.



If your wedding is to be at home then your wedding invitation wording can be slightly less formal with "request the honor of your presence" replaced with "request the pleasure of your company".



As with the church wedding invitation wording an area can be left for you to hand write your guests names if you so choose.



If your wedding is to be held at a friend or relations home for whatever reason then the wedding invitation wording is less formal still. A simple



The pleasure of your company is requested

at the marriage of

Brides name

to

Grooms name

date and time

at the residence of

friends name

and address is all that is required.



For obvious reasons weddings held in either your own home or that of a friend should be acknowledged as soon as possible. That is something you may want to work into either your wedding invitation wording or place an additional card in the envelope.



As long as you stick certain points of etiquette for your wedding invitation wording and you make sure that all relevant infomation is included then you can quite happily customize your own wedding invitations.



Enjoy your day.
