It’s all about first impressions
Isn’t it? The wedding invitation your relatives and loved ones receive from you is almost always the only way they hear about the wonderful news of you getting married. These cards determine if people assist to your wedding or not. So think about it. If your guests receive an invitation that is boring and dull, or with cheesy embellishments or over decorated, etc… they won’t have a good first impression of the ceremony, right? Here is where you think about which are the best wedding invitations for you.
Perfect wedding invitations are almost always the most original and creative ones; invitations that people would never think about. Ones that just would WOW your guests as soon as they lay eyes on them. But more importantly, invitations that say something about you and your spouse.
For example… one of my favorite invitations are the ones that Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro sent out. They were outrageous! These cards featured a picture of themselves as if they were both dead in a morgue. Imagine that…! sending out an invitation with an image of you and your partner dead asking people to attend to your marriage. I think you would have a pretty empty ceremony, wont you?
But why did it work for Carmen and Dave? Because that invitation portrays something about both of them. It says something that is true about them, something they are. Not dead! But that they’re crazy and eccentric people.
So if you want your invitations to be a topic your guests will talk about, take your time to think of that special thing that represents you and your other half that will just dazzle them. Don’t overdue your cards with many extra things or write them with an ultra-sophisticated calligraphy that no one can tell what the heck does your invitation say. Keep it simple and elegant, and remember to include your personal touch into them.
