There are many ways to make your wedding invitations stand out and be memorable. Whether you want to keep the wording classic, traditional, creative, or whimsical, there are some basic elements that should be included. The good news is that the rules of wedding invitation etiquette are not that complicated. The primary tenet is actually much simpler and more straightforward than you may think.
The most important rule is that you create a beautiful wedding invitation that represents you, your love, and the big day to come—while also communicating the vital details of the wedding.
