"Ordering custom invitations and announcements, or save the date cards are very important to your wedding. The one way to do it is to go on-line and see what kind of style you like. You also have to have a price point and know your budget on the invitations before it gets out of hand. A good way to have R. S. V. P.'s done is the new way is to set up a website. There's a lot of free websites out there for weddings and brides can set it up on-line by themselves and be able to have people R. S. V. P. on-line, but just remember to stick a card when you're sending out your invitations with that website so people know where they can find directions and different ways for hotel reservations. But actually ordering your invitations, consider these things: the colors you're using in your wedding, or a theme you might be using. If it's on the beach, use a themed type of wedding invitation, or if your color is pink, use something with some, with pink in it. There's so many resources out there that you can go from. And invitations go from less than a dollar per, to upwards of of five dollars per invitation and be, you know, be a little creative too when sending them out. You can do stuff with postage now, which is get your picture on a postage stamp when sending it out, and these are just easy ways to do that. Save the date cards or save the date magnets are a great way to send out about twelve to nine months in advance, to your family and friends to say: an invitation will follow to our wedding, but we want you to know to look for the invitation, and these can be done the same way, with a theme or a color."
