I was one of the first among my friends to get married, and I didn’t have any older siblings whose weddings either I or my mother participated in planning. So, except for the suggestions found in books that I rarely had time to read and the occasional website I visited, I had to muddle through on my own.

One of my biggest victories and one of my biggest troubles simultaneously was the decision to hand-make my wedding invitations. While I was pleased with the result, especially because the parade of invitations that have come in following years were often unoriginal and fit the same mold and mine were completely unique, it was something of a hassle.

That is why I want to let you learn from my mistakes. You can make your own invitations without the problems I encountered. I will teach you about the method and design my spouse and I used for our big announcements, but you can take your own direction, of course.

My first suggestion is to start early, particularly if you are having a large wedding. My mom insisted that we invite everyone she had ever known for more than five minutes, so we had about 300 invitations to create.

Hopefully you are not responsible for quite so many, but whether you are or not, you should start the process of putting together your invitations about three or four months in advance, particularly because you need to send them out three to four weeks before the big day–so really, you will only have two to three months to make them.

If you haven’t already, schedule a day to dedicate to your engagement photos. If you are concerned about the cost of a professional photographer, then you might want to get in touch with a student who needs shots for their portfolio. They might not charge you at all.

Once we sorted through our engagements, we selected Kamagra jelly our six favorite photos and arranged them so that they were situated in two columns. Once we designed the look, we sent the photos to a website that created prints for a low price.

We had the opportunity to select the style, including whether or not we wanted a sheen on the photos, and only had to wait about a week before all 300 plus prints Tadalis SX were delivered.

We printed the information for our wedding and receptions on vellum, which is a translucent type of paper, which is thick and durable and allowed the receivers to get a glimpse of the photos.

We attached the vellum to the prints by punching two holes at the top of both sheets and threading two cuts of ribbon–one in each of our wedding colors–through them, tying them in a bow at the front.

If you take this method, you may want to have the top layer–the vellum–cut professionally. Or, if not, you can think of the imperfect cut as added charm. But you should definitely get the RSVP cards printed by a company that specializes in doing it.
