Weddings require a lot of planning in order to make sure everything goes smoothly. This is especially important because this day provides a memory that a couple wants to cherish for a long time. During the planning process, it is important to carefully consider your choice of invitations. You should check your options and decide on some unique invites to send to your guests.
While your wedding invitations are not likely to be the aspect of your wedding you are most concerned about, they are still an important part of it because they set the tone for your wedding. With this principle in mind, it is easy to see why choosing a unique style of wedding invitation is such a good idea.
Unique Invitations Set the Tone for your Wedding
A carefully chosen wedding invitation does far more than tell your guests where and when to show up for the big occasion. By choosing unique invitations that reflect the style and theme of your wedding, you can quite effectively set the tone for the entire event.
For example, formal wedding invitations in cream and gold can inform your guests about the formality of the event. It is important for them to know if your wedding is going to be traditional rather than casual. In contrast, if you send your guests contemporary invitations in bright colors, they should know to expect something a little more casual.
On the other hand, if your unique wedding invitations are of a particularly unusual design, chosen to reflect your own personal style as well as the style of your wedding, your guests may know they can expect something nontraditional.
Unique Invitations Show off your Personality
Choosing unique wedding invitations not only lets your guests know what to expect on the day, but they also tell your guests a little something about what you and your intended are like as a couple. You may have invited several people who have not seen much of you; perhaps distant relatives or friends who live across the country, who have not been in town for years. It is also possible that you and your intended are going to invite distant relatives or friends who have not met the person you are about to marry.
Sending unique wedding invitations, chosen to reflect who you are as a couple, is a great way to ‘introduce yourselves’ to those guests who may not yet have met you both. Choose invitations that reflect your personalities, your future life together as a couple, or even a hobby the two of you enjoy together.
Your wedding invitations are a symbol of the moment at which you officially announced your plans to the world, to let everyone know of your intent to marry, so selecting unique invitations is necessary. Choosing unique wedding invitations is a wonderful way of letting the world know that your life together as a married couple starts now!
Unique Invitations your Guests will Remember Forever
If you want your wedding to be talked about and remembered for years to come, then why not start by making your wedding invitations a talking point. That can get people thinking about the big day well before it arrives, and help ensure the event is remembered long afterwards.
Choose invitations that actually look inviting. Thick, high quality paper with bright colors or a unique design that makes the envelope stand out from other mail that may arrive on the same day. Your invitations should excite interest even before they are opened, and if you have chosen your design well, they should evoke reminders of the happy couple as well!
In addition, after the wedding is over, and your guests have gone home, they can save your unique invitations to remind them of the day. Your close family and friends should appreciate having another special reminder, particularly one that evokes memories not only of the wedding, but also of the happy couple. Distant relatives and friends are also more likely to keep your unique wedding invitation, as most people are reluctant to throw away anything unusual or special, so your invitation is sure to be saved.
Unique Invitations Offer another Happy Memory
For the rest of your life you can look back on your wedding day with love and happiness, and you may have plenty of mementoes with which to savor memories of the day. However, it is just as special to look back on your memories of wedding preparations, too. The joy and frustration triumph and the sheer hard work of planning a wedding cannot be denied. Your unique wedding invitations can provide a wonderfully nostalgic reminder of that time. There are many benefits to choosing a unique wedding invitation because they provide much information about you as a couple as well as the date that the wedding is taking place.

Help answer the question about Wedding
How long should I book the wedding photographer for, and how much will your recommendation cost?I'm looking at wedding photographer costs and many charge according to how much time they will be there for. How long do people recommend and how much should that cost? I don't need the getting ready pics, its a catholic wedding (mass), and we have the reception venue for 5 hours and I haven't figured out how much time to put between the ceremony and reception (advice on this would be appreciated as well). Any thoughts on how long?

Q – Is the engagment ring traditionally more expensive, or cheaper than the wedding ring?
A – The engagement ring is more expensive. Traditionally the man is supposed to spend 3 months salary on one, but that isn't really done as much these days.
Q – Why are there 2 rings (engagement and wedding) wouldnt that be extremely expensive?
A – Most engagement rings & wedding bands can be bought in a set to save money & then the rings will also match. There doesn't always have to be an engagement ring, but it's just grown to be a custom. When people mention being engaged everyone always wants to see the engagement ring. The wedding band speaks for itself.
Q – Does the guy get an engagement ring too, or is the just the girl?
A – Guys can have an engagement ring too. It's not tradition but it is becoming more popular lately. When I got engaged I bought my fiance a nice ring. Was nothing fancy cause it would just get damaged at work.
Q – Does the girl have to buy the guys wedding ring?
Usually the bride does buy the grooms ring. I think traditionally the grooms parents buy the wedding bands but not all traditional customs are followed thru on anymore.
Q – Does the couple shop for the wedding rings together?
Most of the time, yes. A lot of couples like to have matching rings therefore they'd shop together. But it can always be kept a surprise too.
Q – Also, isn't there an engagement/wedding ring that is like 2 pieces, and when the wedding comes you get the 2nd piece?
Yes, thats a bridal set. Engagement rings come in all shapes & sizes these days so the wedding band is made to fit perfectly with it. My engagement ring is princess cut & the matching wedding band has a square groove in it to fit perfectly. My sisters wedding band is curved to fit in with her wavy styled engagement ring.

I just got married in March '07. Estimate $15,000.
Suggestions:
*Don't pay or take the time to make wedding programs – Hardly ANYONE took them.
*Take care of all the little tedious things 1st, the big things are easier to remember.
*Don't ask anyone in your family/bridal party what they would do or what they want to do. This is your wedding & trust me, you will have your moments where you don't want anyone's opinion. Just remember THIS IS YOUR BIG DAY & try not to accommodate for anyone. It will only cause chouse!!!!
*Take into consideration of the location before you pick your dress. I bought a BEAUTIFUL dress w/ LOTS of tulle on the bottom, but it was an outside wedding. When I got there I immediately thought — I WISH I would have picked a different dress!!!! It was HOT, & it got grass all in it. Just think long & hard : )
Check out http://www.theknot.com — It has SOOOOOOOOO many really good ideas : )
Good luck & congrats!!!
Excellent work. Pleasure to watch. Perfect music

Just spend what you can and want to spend. A gift card or a check would suffice. Or, find their registry and get what is within your budget. I never looked at my gifts and thought "Wow, I'm offended that they didn't spend more on me." I was just very thankful.
I think you can try wearing a purple wedding dress, both stylish and elegant. You can choose it at http://www.milanoo.com/wholesale-Wedding-Dresses-c392
Oh lord, I wish I knew…
I'm terrible at this sort of thing.
We're getting married on 6-13-09 – the idea that I had was to do cream colored tablecloths, with cream colored orchids, in chocolate brown square planters. Our colors are cream, brown, and green (leaves).
Another idea I had was to do a green dish filled with brown river rocks, with a gardenia blossom floating in water.
That sounds great! I secretly wish we were having a japanese theme, but it doesn't go with the colors and overall feel that we have already picked out for our April 09 wedding.
That said, why don't you have little bonsai trees for centerpieces? You can also have cherry blossom branches, but the real ones are expensive and the fake ones are hard to find. Unless you get married somewhere in the Northeast around April, climb a tree, and get crackin'! Lol.
You can always get those pink paper lanterns, have your girls carry japanese fans instead of flower bouquets, and hand out japanese sweets for favors. Also, there are favor boxes and place card holders with japanese kanji on them on theknot.com, you might want to check that out.
Hope this helps, and congrats!

A marriage (wedding) ceremony is your first initial union performed by a licensed minister, judge, etc. A renewal of vows ceremony is any subsequent ceremony in which you renew the vows you spoke at your initial marriage ceremony. Renewal ceremonies can be as extravagent as marriage ceremonies. Best wishes as you plan your renewal.
Nice work, you did pretty good.
Hi!! I am a wedding planner. I started this when I planned my own wedding and did everything myself. I sat and read and studied for days. I then went out and had to get alot of vendors that would help me with my business. The best advice I can give you is that you might want to take the Bridal Consultant course. This will teach you alot and help you too.
Great talent Der Mann.
In order for it to be a Catholic wedding and seen as a marriage by the Catholic church, you must be married in a Catholic church. Because of the strong stance the Catholic church has on weddings, your friend's cousin will not be able to perform the ceremony or even appear there as a priest unless it is in a church.
I had some very dear friends of mine be excommunicated for "living in sin" because their marriage wasn't performed in a church. They had it in a nondenominational chapel of a location that meant a great deal to them. It didn't make any difference to the church. They were still considered to not be married.
Your friend needs to decide what is more important, an outdoor wedding, or a Catholic wedding.
Good luck.
