Two years ago, the average cost of a wedding was $ 25,000.00. For many people, the sky was the limit and luxury was "in." How things have changed. With many people facing difficult economic challenges, celebrations have a different tone. Now, we are returning to basics and the meaning of weddings, which is the sacred joining of two people who wish to travel life's path together. Getting married in times of national economic hardship is an act of faith, love and joy. And planning a wedding that reflects this faith, love and joy with the new reality of frugality, can be both creative and fun.
To begin, consider using printable wedding invitation kits. Here are tips to help you get started.
1. Research: First off, do a search of internet businesses that carry these products. The search engine terms to use are: Printable Wedding Invitations or DIY Wedding Invitations or Wedding Invitation Kits. Browse the different sites and see which kinds of styles and kits best reflect the "feel" you are trying to create for your wedding. As invitations set the tone, it is important that they really represent you as a couple well.
2. Choosing Your Style: As a couple, what style fits you? Fun and funky: You love the outdoors and want a laid back, casual wedding. Your colors are bold and unusual. You want an invitation that's creative but with a hint of humor. Try a layered look with a fun add-on. For example, a bright colored back card with an unusual contrasting ribbon. Formal and Elegant: You love tradition but it must match your style of elegance. You want the crystal toasting flutes, and the gorgeous, heirloom bridal gown. Try a black pocket folder with cream inserts and ribbon. Western Chic: You love riding horses in the outback. Summertime cook-outs with a distinct western flair are your favorite. Try a Bronze pocket folder with a contrasting sash and a small horseshoe charm.
3. Evaluating the Level of Difficulty : Most kits are not difficult to manage but they do require a certain skill in gluing and ribbon tying. Make sure you read carefully what is required to put your invitations together. How many steps are there? What additional items are you going to need? (for example, glue sticks) Is your printer usable with the thickness of the stock paper? Do you have the time and the help you need to complete this task? One way to test, is to order a sample and practice on it. If you find it easy and like the look, then DIY kits are for you.
With all the negative news, joyous weddings are more important than ever. Recession proof your wedding by using simple, but gorgeous printable wedding invitations for the look you want at prices that will astound you.
