Wedding Invitation Styles

Ok, so I always thought invitations were very important because they were the first thing people see and set the mood and formality or informality of marriage. However, I understand they will be thrown in the trash.

However, I spoke to the woman who coordinated my wedding day and she said they were not that important. And that 180 calls for 150 expenditure was not very wise. It did not hurt my feelings, but it made me think.

So ..... What is your opinion? Are they important or not? How much did you spend to much?

Thank you

It is for you! If you have special, by all means make them special. I agree, they end up in the trash, etc. etc., but they set the tone for upcoming wedding, which is important for some wives, and it would be for me too. Also, I much prefer to receive sth sth pretty plain that, if I was a guest.
However, special need not be expensive. It may just be a pretty design or origin, but it costs a lot.

Congratulations by the way!

Each couple is different with different priorities. We spent about $ 350 I think for 75 calls, double envelopes, thank you cards with envelopes and reply cards with envelopes. In fact, we bought a 40% discount. They were thermographed (relief), the middle of the road, but pleasant. We have loved. I wanted to be nice, but do not want to spend $ 800 or more on them.

They set the mood and formality of marriage. Some people do not throw them, but some people save them as keepsakes. To me, they are important, but not the most important thing. Some wives insist on the most expensive letterpress invitations for formal weddings. I can certainly understand because it fits the level of formality. We had a semi-formal wedding and had other priorities.

I think that couples who have a temporary marriage or time have more freedom to print their own invitations or purchase cheaper products. Some do a great job too!

I have not had a wedding, but I thought to share with you that they are very important for the reason you listed - they set the tone. In addition, I do not know the others, but my parents keep calls on the fridge, so they are there for weeks.

That said, if for example I had a formal wedding, I still consider that the paper type of seed-invitation (even if it was not a green wedding) just because it's good for the environment and very pleasant.

I had made them free to local high school class printing! All we had to pay for the invitation was the paper itself, and we've had invitations plain white Michaels for about $ 50 for 200 invitations. For me, it was not an invitation to him about the ceremony itself, so I mad about wedding favors. :)

They are important because people need to know where to go .. But again, they are pieces of paper. = / Tough. I would say make invitations with a photo, they can keep, but do not spend too much on their own invitations .. I mean come on, your first paragraph is correct. If its in the budget to spend less than $ 200 on invites, then go ahead. If you could reduce or print your own, or something, so go too.

It depends on the couple. Our calls were very pleasant and typography.

As a wedding planner myself, I am quite surprised that your coordinator will say this. Calls are very important for marriage. They absolutely put the formality of the event. Is it possible that she had mentioned that he was not as important, perhaps because your wedding is casual or informal?

If you think your marriage will be a little more formal, I would really like to spend additional dollars to ensure that your guests an idea. The worst thing is to send an invitation to express.
