• Choose Luxury Evening Wedding Invitations. As your guests are only receiving either evening or combined ceremony and reception invitations, it is just as important that your evening wedding invitations are of the same high quality as your combined invitations. One way to be sure your invitations scream luxury is by choosing professionally handmade designs. Top handmade Wedding stationers will use gorgeous boards and beautiful embellishments such as ribbons and crystals to really impress your guests.

• Treat Equally. Your wedding reception invitations should be ordered, written and sent out at the same time as your standard wedding invitations. A guest only attending the reception still need to make the same arrangements as the guests attending your ceremony and it is vital that your reception guests are not made to feel any less important.

• Do Not Go Into Detail. Your evening wedding invitations should simply be an invitation to your reception. Do not feel obliged to discuss the ceremony or the reason some guests were not invited

• A Handmade Touch. Handmade wedding invitations, when made professionally, have a gorgeous feel and the attention to detail really makes your invitations stand out. Luxury handmade wedding stationers will use only the finest papers and boards for your wedding invitations (300 gsm +) and the touch of these invitations will certainly have a reassuringly exclusive feel.

• A Designer’s Eye. The design of your wedding invitations and wedding stationery is vitally important to the feel and experience of your wedding day. Designer wedding invitations must be visually engaging and reflect a style that you wish for your special day. When you choose your luxury wedding invitations and stationery, make sure you choose invitations that are design led, and not just based around the materials used.

• Themed Wedding. The latest Hollywood must have is a themed wedding. The wedding theme you choose will completely set the tone of your wedding day and direct your design choices across every area of your wedding day. Your wedding invitations are the first chance you get to show your guests your chosen theme. The design or colour of your chosen theme can be reflected through your wedding invitations; the perfect opportunity to set the tone for your wedding day.

• Complete Your Look. One of the most important factors when planning a luxury wedding is the coordination of your day to the finest detail. Matching handmade wedding stationery, from your invitations to your menu cards, order of service cards and even your table plan, will leave a great sense of elegance and understated luxury. The luxury wedding stationery itself can be embellished for the real wow factor, but the coordination of your stationery says huge amount to your guests.

• A Personal Touch. The time and effort that goes into choosing your wedding stationery is extensive and a personal touch on your wedding stationery can really put across the thought that has gone into achieving your luxurious day. This personal touch can be achieved in a number of ways, whether it’s handwriting your invitations, to using the material used to make your wedding dress to adorn your wedding stationery. The added sentiment is always greatly received.
