Elegant Embellishments for Your Wedding Invitations

When you are making wedding invitations, you can design them as simple or as extravagant as you desire. There are wedding invitations that are minimal and still absolutely stunning. However, the best way to impress your guests is to go above and beyond the standard invitation. Complete your invitations with elegant embellishments, which can range from rhinestones and ribbons to tabs with a backer. Continue reading to learn more about the different kinds of embellishments that complement any wedding invitation.

Rhinestones

Accent your invitation with beautiful rhinestones. These embellishments are perfect for announcements or invitations to create a little bling. Go for clear rhinestones for a classy look, or choose pearls for a rich and unique feel. There are many colors you can select from to stay within your color scheme. From bright fuchsia to opulent pearl, rhinestones can make your invitation “pop”.

Satin Ribbons

Wrap up your invitation with a gorgeous satin ribbon. You can purchase ribbons in a large quantity and add them to cards, accessories, and other wedding gifts. This versatile embellishment is relatively inexpensive, so if you have leftover funds from your invitations, splurge on satin ribbons!

Tab with Backer

Pocket wedding invitations are filled with elegant invitations and response cards, so why not a tab with a backer? These printed tabs include the bride and groom’s name as an added embellishment to the wedding invitation. Tabs with backers are sophisticated and formal for your pocket invitation. They are also easily customizable!

Table and Menu Cards for a Wedding Reception

“To create something exceptional, your mindset must relentlessly be focused on the smallest detail.” – Giorgio Armani

After a wedding ceremony, guests head to the reception to enjoy drinks and dinner. In order for guests to find their assigned seats, table numbers or place cards are set on the arranged table. Elegant signage is a small detail that guests will appreciate as they take their seats. For a sneak peek to what’s being served, a printed menu card is a sophisticated touch for guests to preview. You can find inspiration for table number and menu cards in our blog, so continue reading!

Table Number Cards

When it comes to table number cards, the first few numbers are usually reserved for immediate family members. Placing numbers 1-5 in the front tables of the reception venue is customary so the family can be close to the bride and groom’s table. Of course, the number cards can be designed to the couple’s preference, so they can choose from freestanding cards, cards with a stand, or even unique burlap wine bags.

Place Cards

Place cards indicate both the table and the specific seat for each guest and are ideal for sit-down dinner receptions. It’s a formal way for guests to be directed to the correct seating, particularly if tables are more spread out. Place cards are folded so guests can view their name on the front and back. Tip: Keep it simple by writing the guest’s first and last name. As for the card itself, the lettering and paper material can be personalized. Some customizations include scripted lettering, colored ink, gold shimmer paper, and more.

Menu Card

Menu cards are not a requirement, but they are great for communicating the details of the meal to guests. For buffet-style catering, it’s an easy way to share food options and give guests courtesy of knowing what to expect. Menu cards should include a brief welcome, followed by the description of the courses being served. Select from card options such as black raised ink, accent lettering, and more.

Conclusion

Wedding reception stationery is decorative and practical, so start designing your very own place cards and menu cards with Forever Friends. We use premium products and modern printing methods to get the best results. Shop our collection of reception cards and decorations online or contact us for customization help.

Customizing Your Wedding Response Cards

If you are planning to send out wedding invitations, make sure to add a response card for your guests. This card provides an easy way for guests to respond to your invitation. It is part of the etiquette of giving a formal response to the bride and groom. However, the response card can be customized to meet your wedding needs. From the request line to the date of reply, learn more about the organization of a wedding response card by reading our blog!

Request Line

The first line on the card is to address the guests by formally requesting a reply. Some phrasing you might see on this section of the card include “the favor of a response is requested by”, “kindly reply by”, and “please respond by”. If you plan to use formal or casual phrasing, ensure you are consistent with your speech throughout the card.

Date of Reply

The next line of the card is to reach a final head count for the wedding. Responses should be requested at least two to four weeks before the actual date. Follow-ups may be necessary if you don’t receive a response. The date of reply is important not only for head count, but also if you plan on having catering services and need to know the number of people to serve.

“M” Line

The M line is for guests to write in their names. The M itself is meant to designate a salutation for Mr., Mrs., Miss, or Ms. Couples can choose to write in Name(s) instead of the M.

Accept and Decline Lines

The last line of the response card has an accept and decline line for guests. The wording for this line can range from “accepts with pleasure/declines with regret” to “will attend/ will not attend”. This depends on the formality of the card. Another line might be added for the number of attendees, usually for larger families.

Conclusion

At Forever Friends, we have beautiful response cards and envelopes to be included with your wedding invitation. Our response cards and envelopes are customizable. Contact us to order your response cards today!

Ways to Make Your Wedding Invitation Design POP!

When it comes to your wedding invitations, you always want them to stand out. Your invitations present you with an opportunity to create something that is unique to you by combining beautiful elements and printing techniques. The last thing you want is for your invitations to look similar or the same to other invitations you have seen. In order to make yours unique and really add that ‘wow’ factor, then you are going to need to take some time and prepare a unique invitation. Read on and find a few ways that will really make yours stand out against the rest.

Use a Beautiful Typeface

A beautiful typeface is a must with any wedding invitation. Some of the options that are a perfect fit include scripts, brush, calligraphy, and handwriting fonts. These are highly recommended because of the limited text on an invitation. Try to pair one of these typefaces with a simpler font like sans serif for contrast. You can use the more elegant type for names and sans serif for the rest to really make them stand out.

Customize a Template

When it comes to a template, if you start with a premade invitation, it can be a great way to get the ball rolling on your custom design. It can give you an idea on what style best fits the couple and move on from there. A good template is one that you can fully customize to suit your unique needs. Change colors, typefaces, pictures, or themes until you create something you truly love.

Photo Keepsake Option

When you create an invitation, the recipient may throw it away after writing down the date in their calendar. In order to make your invitation more of a keepsake, create one that doubles as a beautiful wedding photo. When you use a great image and match it with some simple calligraphy, you can turn it into a design that recipients will want to hold onto.

Print on Quality Paper

Whenever you create something that is printed, nothing says special occasion like quality paper. You will want to opt in for something with adequate weight and texture. A sturdy invitation on good paper will always look better and more official.

When you need your invitations printed perfectly, without imperfections, you need the right wedding print shop. That’s where we come in, here at Forever Friends you can count on us to provide you with beautifully printed invitations.

Fall Wedding Announcements

During the fall season, many couples are getting ready to get married; some are even planning parties and celebrations ahead of time. For most couples, putting together invitations for family and friends can be a fun and creative way to announce their upcoming fall wedding. From picking out colors and fonts, to sorting pictures and images, follow along in our blog to learn some tips and tricks to make your fall wedding announcement stand out!

Layout

When forming the layout of your card, consider a few things first:

  • The amount of information (dates, times, location, etc.)
  • The size of your card (large, small, etc.)
  • The number of pictures displayed
  • Font and text size

Laying down pictures on a table, or inserting photos and text online can be beneficial when it comes to arranging your invitation. Organize your card beforehand so you can get a better visual of the final product!

Pictures/Images

If you’re planning to have an autumnal photoshoot done with your significant other, pick out a few places beforehand. For example, a pumpkin patch or a walkway with colorful leaves and trees can be a wonderful fall background. Images may include: nature portraits with your partner, a wedding sign with the date, and other autumn related photographs!

Font and Color

Explore with different fonts and colors to match your personal style. From soft oranges and yellows, to natural reds and greens, a contrast of color (preferably two colors) can make a big statement on your card. If you’re planning to have a harvest themed wedding, then autumnal hues can really compliment your invitation. It can also hint at the colors you’ll be using at your wedding too. Don’t forget to play around with text and fonts to see which works best with your card size!

Your fall wedding announcement deserves the perfect presentation from front to back. If you need to send out wedding invitations to family and friends, do it with us here at Forever Friends.
