Choose the amount of invitations that best suits you, and then move to the next step.

This may include save-the-date cards, response cards with envelopes or reception cards that will list the reception information.

Move on to the personalization of the invitation. The personalization process will vary from site to site but usually will involve giving information such as the names of the bride and groom, location of the wedding and reception and reception details. After receiving this information, most sites will give wording suggestions.

Choose the invitation coloring. Most sites will give you a nearly endless selection of color combinations and lettering options. Depending on your particular needs, you can have anywhere from one color to three or four different colors featured on the invitation.

Enter the appropriate information for addressing each envelope. Allowing the site to print the addresses on the envelopes for you will be much easier than addressing them yourself. However, if you prefer hand addressed invitations, either from your own hand or that of a calligrapher, you can order blank envelopes as well.

Tips & Warnings
If you prefer to order wedding invitations from a supplier in person, arrive at the stationery store with the above information prepared, as the process will be very similar, though you will be browsing through sample books. Have an idea of the wedding colors, style of the wedding and what you want the invitation to say before you go hunting for your perfect package. If you are unsure as to what you want, finding what's right for you will be even more difficult.
Once your order has been processed online, you will not be able to change it or make returns till after you've received it all in the mail. Make sure you double- and triple-check your order before you complete it.
