Make Your Wedding Invitation Perfect

In my lifetime, I have been invited to many weddings. I have been to formal weddings, informal weddings both large and small celebrations, I witnessed them all. The weddings held in the church and chapels are my favorite but, beach weddings are also fantastic and unique. Well, I was invited to a wedding on a cruise ship one time and it was interesting too. The most interesting wedding that amazes me was when the bride and groom arrived on a horse and carriage; on a motorcycle; in a boat and the traditional limousine.

When it comes to wedding invitations, many are just ordinary and only few marked as the extra ordinary ones. I have received invitations that are commercially made and maybe, they run out of time for creativity. There were homemade by the bride herself and this probably takes a lot of time but they were very nice and thoughtful.

I have learned from research that the original wedding invitation was not even written down. During the 15th century in England, the announcements of weddings are made by the town crier because the printing press had not yet been invented at that time. In the Middle Ages, many people could not read so; the practice of wedding invitations was only done between the nobility. These invitations were quite elaborate and they are made by monks and were handcrafted.

The wedding invitations really came into its own after World War II. The advance of the technology allowed the common man to mimic the elite society. The latest trend now is to order the invitation online which is very convenient. If you are planning for a wedding, the modern technology will allow you to have just about any type of invitation you desire. The selections of designs are so vast but, prior planning should be a must to create a perfect wedding invitation. Whether you are using a wedding planner or doing it yourself, make sure to organize because this is the key to a successful wedding.
