When purchasing wedding announcements and invitations you need to keep one thing in mind: wedding announcements set the stage for the whole wedding. If there is one thing that you don’t want to skimp on it is the announcements as this the first thing that guests coming to your wedding will see. You want them to look professional and you want to make sure that you include everything that you need to on the announcements. The fancier, the more elaborate or more unique the announcement, the more anticipation your guests will feel for the upcoming nuptials.

Ordering your wedding announcements can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be. Before you begin to search for your announcements, you need to think about what kind of announcement you want to use and what you want it to say about you and your wedding. Are you a casual person planning a barefoot outdoor wedding? Are you more formal and planning to have a church ceremony and sit down dinner? Deciding what kind of wedding you are planning to have allows you to better decide what kind of tone you want your wedding announcements to portray.

If you are planning on a more formal wedding then you will more than likely want to stick with a classic, formal wedding announcement. These are typically printed on white or cream card stock and are timeless in nature. If you are planning on a casual or outdoor wedding then you will more than likely choose a less formal announcement. Perhaps you will choose colors to match your wedding colors or use a photo announcement.

Whichever type of announcement you choose, the style of the announcement is only half the announcement. The other part of it is the wording on the announcement. What do you want it to say? There are hundreds of examples of wedding announcements online. More formal announcements basically follow the same format of who is announcing the wedding, who is getting married, date, time and place. There is no right or wrong to wording in the announcement, but if you are having a wedding ceremony that is not a traditional ceremony, then there is no reason that you have to stick to a traditional announcement.

As with any announcement, there is etiquette to follow as far as what to include in the invitation and who to send them too. However, it is your wedding and in the end you need to order or create an announcement that suits you. Just remember, this is the first indication to your guests as to what type of wedding you are going to have. Be sure that you allow your wedding announcement to set an appropriate stage for your wedding.
