• Desire to create one-of-a-kind invitations with a personal flair
• Creating your own invitations using new upscale kits that include invitation stock, response cards, envelopes and all the ribbon, layering and attachments
• Hot wedding trend colors: pink, brown, blue, sage green, mango, used on invitation stock & ink
• Affixing decorative embellishments to invitations, placecards, programs and favor boxes -- 3-D add-on's, charms, ribbon "bellybands," rhinestones, feathers, and seasonal motifs
• Adding decorative corner edges with scrapbooking punches and corner rounders
• Creating a "Wedding Monogram" and printing it on invitations, programs and all accessories
• Locking in the date with guests 6-12 months in advance with save-the-date cards
• Response cards returned blank? Place a small, inconspicuous number on the back of each card before they are mailed, then list each guest's name with their number to cross-reference
• Create a classic keepsake: your favorite wine embellished with a self-print wine label with your own "vintage date" - your wedding day
• For outdoor weddings, include "rain cards" with your invitations, letting guests know your alternative location
• Keep your "save the date" cards on your guest’s mind by attaching an engagement photo they'll want to display
• Personalize your wedding invitation with a quotation at the bottom of your invitation wording
• Ask the post office to hand cancel your invitations, that way they won't have a machine bar code and will arrive looking much cleaner
