Cute wedding stationery is for those couples who are romantic at heart. Couples who probably want to create a warm and friendly feel to their wedding celebrations. From "Guess Who?" cards to cartoon animals holding hands, I list some of the options available to those of you looking for cute wedding stationery. Don't worry about matching stationery, most designs are supplied as everything from wedding invitations to place cards.

Guess Who? Cards - Quite a common choice of the cute wedding stationery front. These designs incorporate pictures of the Bride and Groom when they were younger. Usually these cards feature the phrase "Guess Who's Getting Married?" on the front of the design.

An illustration of a Bride and Groom together give a soft informal feel to your stationery. Choose simple, relaxed illustrations as they will create that "cute" feel.

You can also purchase Tatty Teddy (Me to You) wedding invitations. If you are not familiar with Tatty Teddy then you might want to check out http://carteblanchegreetings.com/metoyou/. In short, he is a cute little bear that originally started out as an illustration that decorated greetings cards. However, later actual bears were produced along with other gifts and wedding accessories. The Tatty Teddy image is a licensed product and can only be used on wedding invitations printed by Collisons. However, you may see the designs in many places as Collisons use agents to supply their products.

Elliot and Buttons - Another greetings card figure that has come to adorn some wedding invitations. An elephant (Elliot) is companioned with a mouse (Buttons). If you are not familiar with this brand then check out http://www.elliotandbuttons.com/. Again this design is licensed for use by wedding stationery supplier Collisons.

Animals - From fluffy cartoon cats holding hands to penguins huddled together. There is a wide range of stationery designs that feature animals.

Visit online wedding stationers to order samples. Most suppliers will provide samples free of charge.

Planning a wedding can be a daunting experience. Most people won't have organised a large event before, so it can be difficult to know where to begin.

Once you've decided on a date for the big day and booked the venue for your wedding or civil ceremony, the very next thing you need to do is book your reception venue.

The more popular wedding get booked up as far ahead as 3 years in advance; so to guarantee the fairytale wedding venue that you've always dreamed of it's best to make this a priority from the start. In many cases you'll find that if you're not overly particular about the exact date you enter in to married life, then 6 months is often plenty of time to book the venue of your choice.

The majority of wedding venues will ask for a deposit as soon as you book and for the balance of the hire fee well in advance of your wedding day. The venue hire fee, which often includes many other costs for your wedding such as catering and entertainment, is often one of the largest investments of your day and people can feel uncomfortable parting with such a large sum of money so far in advance of the big day.

This is where wedding insurance is important. From the moment you start spending money on your wedding you should have a good wedding insurance policy in place. Wedding insurance doesn't just cover financial losses incurred on the big day itself, but can help protect many costs incurred in the run up to your wedding including Wedding Dress cover , Wedding Rings and Transport cover and importantly Failure of Suppliers cover.

Specifically thinking about your venue, wedding insurance can help protect you in a number of ways in the run up to your wedding and on the day itself, including:

Cancellation Cover and Rearrangement Cover - Could help protect you from some of the significant costs that could be incurred if for instance your venue was unable to hold your wedding reception due to damage to the venue or if perhaps an important supplier such as your caterer didn't turn up on the day. The Cancellation Cover in your wedding insurance could even help with some irrecoverable costs, such as deposits, in the event that yourself or your partner were made redundant before your wedding day.

Personal Liability and optional Public Liability Cover - With a large number of people gathered together to celebrate with you on your wedding day, accidents can sometimes happen. In today's litigious environment it is wise to protect yourself against the cost of civil claims, for example, accidental loss or damage to a 3rd party's property at the Wedding or reception venue. Wedding insurance can help protect you against such costs.

When they first start the search for their venue, many couples head straight for the big hotels. These hotels often offer a variety of packages for your big day covering everything from the catering and of course accommodation to flowers and even wedding cars. These packages can offer good savings compared to booking all the elements separately yourself. Often good value and undoubtedly convenient, be aware that some hotels run more than one wedding a day, so you could find yourself bumping in to another equally blushing bride in Reception, potentially taking some of the shine off your wedding

For something a little different, have a look at stately homes and historical buildings. Many of these venues allow you to hire them exclusively giving you a more intimate feel to the day. Some people are put off by the fact you often need to book the catering etc yourself, but more and more of these potentially beautiful wedding venues will offer to help you plan your big day for those brides who would prefer someone else to take the strain.

Stately homes and historical buildings often come with beautiful grounds and therefore the opportunity for a romantic marquee wedding. Marquees come in all shapes and sizes, but for 200 people you could be looking at around £10,000 to hire a marquee that included everything you'd need such as carpets furniture, power and heating.

Although very pretty you must remember that marquee's are only temporary structures so it is not unheard of for marquees to suffer damage while they are being hired out. Some marquee companies will expect you to cover all the costs of any damage, which could turn out to be considerable so it would be prudent to have in place wedding insurance with the additional Marquee cover option if a marquee is your ideal choice for you wedding venue.

Also don't forget to check out local society buildings and halls as potential wedding venues; these can often offer far more interesting and memorable surroundings than a hotel or a stately home as they often hold special personal memories for couples and families alike and can be more convenient for friends and family travelling to your big day.

Start the search for your wedding venue online. There are a whole host of websites that allow you to search for the venue by area, by price and type of venue. An excellent feature of many of these sites is reviews of the venues by couples and guests that have experienced them first-hand. Make sure you read these reviews; a venue can give a really good impression when you go to have a look around, but it may be a very different story on your wedding day or vice-versa.

So remember, start looking early to make sure you find the venue that's right for you, listen to what other people say and of course, make sure you have a good wedding insurance policy in place before you start spending a thing as you never know what will happen before your big day.

Irish wedding favors are wedding favors which reflect the spirit of Irish humor, friendship, love and luck. It is traditional at Irish weddings to give the guests a handkerchief made of Irish linen or lace and an Irish couple usually gives a small piece of the wedding cake in decorated boxes that are marked with the names of the couple and the date of their wedding.

Irish tea makes the best wedding favor for an afternoon wedding and it can also be accompanied by biscuits or tea rings. Iced sugar cookies or foil-wrapped chocolates are some of the other edible treats in an Irish wedding favor. The foil-wrapped chocolates are available in the shape of shamrocks, celtic crosses or claddaghs. Claddagh is a classic symbol of love, loyalty and friendship. It depicts two hands holding a heart with a crown on top. Many of the Irish wedding favors such as picture frames, plaques, candle holders and cups use this symbol to show friendship and love. Shamrock is also an important Irish symbol often used to represent the Holy Trinity. Since the three-leaf shamrock is considered sacred, shamrock favors such as charms, pins, a shamrock corsage or wreath?crown and a small potted plant are widely used as Irish wedding favors.

Almost all of the Irish wedding favors contain the color green which is considered as the symbol of Irish pride and solidarity. Hence, green color is used as the primary color in most of the Irish wedding favors. Traditional Irish blessing can also be given as wedding favors for the wedding guests. Small cards with a blessing printed in calligraphy with a pressed or artificial shamrock is widely used as Irish wedding favors.

Irish wedding favors usually give long lasting memories for the wedding guests of the wedding day depicting their love and loyalty of their friendship. Irish wedding rings such as spirals, triskeles and shield knots are some of the popular favors for the weddings that have an Irish theme. These Irish rings can be presented in personalized boxes. Irish designs are usually printed on these boxes.

Many brides have never been married before, and planning a wedding for them can be stressful and overwhelming. Especially when it comes to the pressures of writing their wedding invitations. Whether it's traditional wording or a more fun and modern feel, I have written a few examples brides can use to help them along the way.

"Two lives, two hearts joined together in friendship united forever in love It is with joy that we invite you to share in a celebration of love as we exchange our marriage vows on:"

"Because you have shared in our lives by your friendship and love, we invite you to share the beginning of our new life together when we exchange marriage vows on:

You work, you play and then, one day... love just happens! We invite you to be a witness to one of life's loveliest surprises as we are joined together in matrimony on:"

"The pleasure of your company is requested at the marriage uniting Tabitha Newton and Nicolas Hamilton on:"

"It is with great honor that we invite you to share this joyous celebration of love with us as we exchange marriage vows on:"

"Please celebrate with us the freshness of new life and new love as we exchange wedding vows on:"

"Together with our parents, we request the honor of your presence at our marriage on:"

"We invite you to be with us as we begin our new life together on:"

"We joyfully invite you to share in our happiness as we unite in marriage on:"

"Something borrowed and something blue; some things are old, some things are new; someone to care and share your life; the dream of every husband and wife. Please join us as we unite in marriage on:"

"In the spirit of the season we have found the perfect reason to gather friends and family... We request the honor of your presence in our marriage on:"

"We request the honor of your presence in our marriage, as we begin a life of dreaming, loving and sharing together on:"

"We would be honored and happy if you would share in the joy of our union in marriage on:"

"We invite you to be with us as we celebrate our new life together by exchanging marriage vows on:"

"We invite you to share with us a celebration of our love as we exchange marriage vows on:"

"We would be honored and happy if you would share in the joy of our union in marriage as we exchange our vows on:"

"Please celebrate with us in the freshness of new life and new love as we exchange wedding vows on:"

"With joyful hearts we request your presence to celebrate in our exchange of marriage vows on:"

"We invite you to share in our marriage, celebration of love, devotion, and family as we exchange wedding vows on:"

"It is with great joy that we, together with our parents invite you to share in the joy as we exchange marriage vows to begin our new life together on:"

"We would be honored and happy for you to share in the joy of our union in marriage on:"

"Because you have shared in our lives your friendship and love, we invite you to celebrate with us as we exchange marriage vows on:"

These are only some of many examples that can be written. Of course fit your invitation to your personality and color theme of your wedding. to give guests an idea of what to expect when they arrive.

If you're having a destination wedding feel free to get a little more creative and non-traditional. such as sending guest boarding pass invitations or passport invitations, wording and info in these invitations is limitless so feel free to be creative.

We can't go anywhere in modern society without hearing someone talking on their cell phone, quite often at deafening levels. Here are a few places that cell phones are not welcome...at all!

Movies: If you think there are people who get upset over phone conversations in church, just get chatty in a movie theater. Those people have paid upwards of $10 for their tickets and don't want to hear someone commiserating with their sister over yet another break-up or a detailed discussion on the topic of Grandpa's kidneys. If the conversation lasts very long at all, the hostile glares will turn to verbal abuse in no time. Once again, these people have been instructed to turn the pagers and cell phones off, but they are clearly too important to be incommunicado for two entire hours!

Plays and other live entertainment: The people attending a play or orchestral concert have spent a great deal more than $10 for their tickets. This being a more refined crowd, they will more than likely refrain from the aforementioned verbal abuse. They'll just notify the usher and the offending party will be escorted from the theater. That sounds like fun. "Sir/Madam, will you come with me, please?"

Weddings: Here's an important one. There is one person at any wedding who will gladly and happily wring someone's neck if they begin a conversation on her special day. You guessed it, the bride. She has spent the last six to eight months of her life planning every aspect of her wedding down to the last detail. All eyes are to be on her as she makes her entrance, floating along on the arm of her shell-shocked father. If one's phone should choose that moment (or any of the following emotionally charged moments) to ring out with R-E-S-P-E-C-T, we could only hope that the offending phone would be swiftly and summarily deprived of its battery. However, if that someone has the temerity to answer the call, it matters not that they paid for the bridal couple's wedding trip to Arruba, they are instantly persona non grata.

Funerals: If a wedding is a bad place to have a cell phone chat, a funeral is off the chart. In fact, it's unthinkable to even bring your cell phone in. What if something went wrong with the "silence" feature? Unless it's somehow a call from beyond the grave, there is never an appropriate time to actually answer a cell phone call at a memorial service or funeral. Surely that's so obvious it's not necessary to comment on it, but there are some amazingly insensitive people. It's not beyond the realm of possibility that someone would think themselves so very important that they simply must be reachable at ALL times. I maintain that, if you're that indispensable, don't go to funerals.

Churches: Most churches, somewhere in their bulletin or preservice announcements, instruct those gathered to turn off their pagers and cell phones. Why is it that there are always a few people in the congregation that don't think that applies to them? And it's always the person with the jazziest ring; La Cucaracha, Macho Man, that Nanny-Nanny-Boo-Boo sound or, for the Beatles lover among us, Yellow Submarine. I once heard of a minister who stopped the sermon when he heard a cell phone ring and waited until the person's conversation was finished to resume. I'm guessing he wasn't interrupted too often.

Hospitals: Although you see cell phone usage any time you enter a hospital, hospital personnel really do ask you to refrain. It can interfere with some their high tech equipment. If your sainted mother were having arthroscopic surgery, you certainly wouldn't want some knucklehead's cell phone to scramble the signals, bringing in Scooby Doo on the TV-type monitors in the operating room. And there's always the possibility that your conversation could be picked up somehow and broadcast over the intercom in the hospital cafeteria.

There are, of course, a number of other places where cell phones and conversations upon them are not at all a good idea. For instance, it's probably bad timing to get in a loud argument with your ex-wife while you're out on a date. It could be taken amiss if you place or receive a business call while your wife is about to give birth. And making lunch plans with a girlfriend could be disconcerting to someone who's down on bended knee, popping the question. You get the idea. Cell phones are a wonderful tool and can be real life savers in certain circumstances. But there is a time and place for everything and the places listed above are NOT places where cell phones should be used. If you're interested in winning friends and influencing people, learn to turn it off!

Wedding insurance can often be viewed as being the way a pessimist approaches the planning of a wedding. Many brides have a rosy image in their heads of their dream wedding, but too often dreams can become nightmares, and the reality is that wedding insurance is not a pessimistic way of planning a wedding at all - but a realistic way.

After all, having wedding insurance in place isn't going to make the occurrence of some major calamity any more likely - it just means that should the unforeseen happen, then you needn't leap into the role of a barnyard fowl minus its top storey.

One of the current concerns many people have is of an infection or illness such as Swine Flu. With the Department for Health recently estimating as many as 181,000 new cases last week alone, the statistics weigh heavily in favour of a proportion of weddings becoming affected in the coming weeks and months.

None of us can be certain of our health, and especially not when a wedding may be planned months in advance. From swine flu to food poisoning, wedding insurance is essential in order to make sure that if the worst does happen and either the bride, the groom, or one of the principal guests contracts a serious or infectious illness, then you'll be covered.

Losing several days to sitting in a bathroom feeling wretched is bad enough - losing thousands of pounds due to a postponed or canceled wedding is likely to make anyone feel ill.

Of course, it's not just the wedding party's health which could scupper your best laid plans. If any of your suppliers falls ill, will they be able to provide the same service for which you have paid? What would you do if your wedding photographer contracted Swine Flu, or the florist was unable to deliver any arrangements because she had food poisoning?

Although it may feel uncomfortable, it's essential to consider just how fragile a wedding can be. With thousands of pounds, and often much more than a dozen different suppliers of goods or services, and with infections such as Swine Flu now reaching epidemic proportions, taking out adequate wedding insurance has never been more important.

Although one hopes that it will only be other people's weddings that will be affected by outbreaks of illness, and only other people who have to cancel a wedding, the hard fact of the matter is that whilst you can be certain that a number of weddings will definitely be affected, yours is every bit as likely to be one of them.

It's not something you can do much about, and certainly not something you should sit up late at night worrying about for months. As long as you have appropriate wedding insurance you can relax knowing that if Swine Flu or any other form of illness does affect your plans, you'll be protected - at least from financial loss. Sadly there are few policies able to protect you from the illness itself!

Are you thinking of having a fantastic rock and pop or funk and soul band at your wedding reception? There are a few things you'll need to check before you go ahead with the booking. Most importantly speak to your wedding venue and see what requirements they have that a wedding band must adhere to. It is always best when booking your entertainment to give them all the details that they need to know as soon as possible. This can help save stress on everyone's part.

There's been horror stories in the past where a band shows up to for a wedding and is turned away due to a lack of PAT testing. There's nothing the band can do, nothing the venue can do and nothing the newly married couple can do so here's a check list of things you need to be sure of before agreeing a cover band for your wedding.

PAT testing and Public Liability Insurance

Speak to your wedding venue and see if they need your band to be PAT tested and insured as soon as you book. This isn't always necessary but sometimes is and a venue can turn your band away on the night if they are not. PAT testing means Portable Appliance Testing and tests for safety in portable electrical equipment like guitar amplifiers. It is easy to get done but can take some time to get organised as bands can have a lot of equipment. In one of the first cover bands I played in the venue turned around to the bride three days before the wedding and said make sure your band is PAT tested and insured. I had a two-day race against time to get 3 guitar amps, two speakers, keyboards, lights and multiple extensions, all of which were strewn across the south at various members houses PAT tested and take out Public Liability Insurance. Luckily, I got it sorted but it was a stressful couple of days for me and the bride who thought she wasn't going to have a band. Now I make sure every covers band I play in is completely insured and PAT tested.

Sometimes a wedding venues insurance is null if the band don't have PAT testing or PLI so they have no choice but to turn the band away. It is easily sorted though if there is enough time so make sure you check what your venue needs and tell your band in good time.

Sound Limiters

The bane of a rocky wedding bands existence. Sound limiters cut the power to the band when a limit is reached so if there's a particularly loud section of a song it'll cut all sound. Venues often have no choice whether to put sound limiters up or not. It is usually due to complaints from local residents which the Environmental Health have to deal with and usually results in them slapping a badly set sound limiter into the venue.

More often than not DJ's find it easy to cope with as the music they play is compressed and so doesn't have any loud peaks. A band on the other hand may have a lot of dynamic shifts in their music so it's trickier for them to stay within the confines of the limiter.

Bands can prepare for a limiter by bringing smaller amps, electric drum kits or brushes instead of sticks to keep themselves below the level. It is worth getting your cover band or entertainment agency to talk to your wedding venue during the early stages of booking to make sure they are all happy.

Instrument Restrictions

A few weddings I've organised have asked for the band to have no amps and use electric drum kits due to a venues efforts to minimise sound levels. Some bands are able to supply these but make sure you get the scoop from your venue before you book a band. It really should be the venues job to tell you when you book or mention a band but sometimes they forget.

The band will sound different to how they usually do but a more professional wedding band will have some great gadgets to help them achieve that big sound without their usual set-up.

In summary. If you want a band for your venue please check with venue on these things...

• Sound limiter - how low does it go?


• Instrument restrictions - Do the band need an electric drum kit? Do they need to use the venue PA?


• PAT testing and Public Liability Insurance - Most bands will have these. They run out every year thought so make sure your band knows whether the venue requires it or not.

Toronto weddings mostly have the services of wedding DJ's and Toronto photographers. A person who wants to send a wedding congratulations message should compose one that is heartfelt. Most people send congratulatory messages in form of writing. A person may do this by writing a love quotation in the card. Depending on the relationship that the person has with the married couple, one may include lighthearted humor. It is necessary for a person to express their thoughts concerning love in the card but at the same time depict how it applies to the couple.

Congratulatory messages are common in most Ontario weddings. A person should note down the happiness that one wishes for the couple as well as future hopes. If one cannot attend the ceremony, one should make an apology on the congratulations card. This will depict sincerity as far as the sender is concerned. One should make a proposal to meet with the couple later on and chat about the ceremonious moment. Mississauga weddings usually include Mississauga photographers who cover the occasion exactly the way the couple wants.

When writing a congratulations card or letter some time before the nuptials, one should kindly inquire if they can be of any assistance in the preparations for the happy occasion. If a person informs the couple early of their absence during the nuptials, asking to assist may be necessary towards chipping into the ceremony. If one sends the congratulatory message after the wedding, one may talk about how wonderful the ceremony was and may mention the bride's glamorous dress too. Wedding congratulations offer emotional support to a couple getting married. Therefore, one should try to make it as presentable and heartfelt as possible.

Not everybody is good at writing congratulatory messages therefore, a person who does not know how to write one should get assistance from the thesaurus program in a computer. It will assist in writing a unique congratulations message that does not have commonly repeated words. The use of rough drafts may help in writing a unique congratulatory message. For most Ontario weddings, the wedding photos remind the couple of their marriage as well as the actual ceremony. If one cannot attend the nuptials, then a gift and a congratulatory message sent in advance to the couple are in order though not compulsory.

It is adequate for a person to send a congratulatory message together with a gift from the couple's wedding registry. If a person lives somewhere near the couple, one may drop off the congratulatory card and gift. Most Toronto nuptials occur in the presence of photographers who take pictures of the couple as well as the guests. The newly wed couple may hire a bridal limousine for transportation purposes. The newly wed couple may also hire the services of a DJ. Many websites may offer fresh ideas to people who have a problem with writing congratulatory messages. One should log on to the various websites in order to obtain this.

Whether you made them yourself or ordered them from a professional printer, you've most likely put a lot of time, effort and money into the design of your wedding invitations. It's time to mail them out, but do you know how? Mailing out your wedding invitations is a lot more than just slapping a stamp on them and dropping them in the closest mailbox. Read on for top tips and guidelines to ensure your wedding invitations get to their destination on time and in pristine condition.

Postage

First things first, when you receive your wedding invitations, put together one complete invitation (including all added inserts, tissue paper, invitation jackets, bows, etc.) and take it to your local post office. They will measure and weigh your invitation and let you know exactly how much your postage will be. Both size and weight can affect the amount of postage you need to pay, so if you are trying to save money on postage, consider the amount of embellishments you add to your wedding invitations.

Don't assume your invitation will be the same amount of postage as your gas and electric bill; going into the post office and having it weighed and measured by a postal worker will ensure your wedding invitations don't get returned to you for insufficient postage. If you have a uniquely sized RSVP card, you will want to have that looked at by the post office as well. Irregularly shaped envelopes generally require more postage too.

Wedding Stamps

The post office usually has a selection of wedding themed postage stamps that you can use on your wedding invitations, or you can customize your own. Personalized wedding stamps have become increasingly popular and can be designed and created at a large number of websites. You can personalize them with your wedding colors, your wedding theme, or you can even put a picture of the happy couple on the wedding stamp itself. A personally created wedding stamp is the ultimate final touch in accessorizing your wedding invitations.

Hand Canceling

When you mail a letter at the post office it is processed and filed through machines with all the other letters that get mailed on a daily basis. Most wedding invitations are thicker, larger or different shaped than regular mail however, and run a higher risk of getting stuck or damaged in these machines. You can avoid this risk by having your wedding invitations hand cancelled, which means they will be processed by hand and not put through automated processing machines.

When you are set to mail your wedding invitations, hand deliver them to a postal worker at the post office and ask that they be hand cancelled with a rubber stamp. Not only will this ensure your beautiful invitations don't get caught in any machinery, it will minimize the amount of printing markings and bar codes that get put on the invitation.

Changes in Postage

From time to time the postal service raises the price of stamps. To avoid returned invitations or non-delivered RSVP cards, be sure to check for any changes in postage that will be occurring. You may even have to put a different amount of postage on the return envelope than on your wedding invitation.

If you are unsure of when your guests will be mailing back their RSVP cards, consider Forever stamps for the RSVP envelopes. Forever stamps were developed by the postal service to help consumers ease the transition during price changes. Forever stamps do not have a denomination and will be honored whenever they are used with no need for additional postage for a one-ounce letter mailing.

Follow these simple wedding postage tips, and you can make sure your save-the-date cards, wedding invitations, RSVP cards and thank you notes are all delivered on time and in the condition they were sent in.

You are engaged and ready to make those wedding plans. You are getting your list together and ideas for your wedding and reception are coming together. You have decided this will be an informal wedding. So what is the proper informal wedding invitation wording?

Since you have chosen an informal wedding, you can relax on this. Although the formal announcements have specific guidelines the informal in not as defined.

You can put your parents first names on you invitation. Using Susan and Tom Baker is correct. In informal wedding invitations, many times the couples names are first and both sets of parents are listed at the bottom.

An example would be:

We are walking one path and will be united

Vows will be shared and you are invited

Emily Sue Jones

and

Thomas James Smith

together with their parent:

Tammy and Ronald Jones

and

Julia and Howard Smith

Invite you to share in their special day.

On Saturday, the second day of June

twenty-twelve

at four o'clock in the afternoon

at the Fun Fair Grounds

Your town, USA

Reception:

6:30

Sharaton Ballroom

address
?
If you put the parents names on the invitation there are some guidelines you can take.The first thing to remember is that first names are used. A married couple will have the woman's name first. This allows the mans name and surname to remain together. If your parents are divorced, your mothers name is first. You can add step parents names if you feel comfortable with it. Many times just and parents can be used and the names omitted.

When using informal wedding invitation wording, you have much more leeway. You can use names, write out dates. This leaves less room for error. You can put the reception information on your invitation also. Having such a relaxed environment allows for more freedom. You must realize that as you make these change you will have a less ordered wedding and reception. For some this is good for others it may pose a problem.

Your wedding invitations are a big part in setting the mood of your big day. You should decide what type of wedding you want when you pick out your wedding invitations. You will also address your invitations less formal. This means that informal wedding invitation wording goes to the envelope addressing also. You will use first names here also. Don't go informal with your invites and then address to Mr. and Mrs. so and so. This will make an undecided idea for your guests. Keep them uniform.

There are many ways you can word your wedding cards. Some will be informal and some will be very formal. Make your decision knowing what the end result will mean for your wedding day.
