Pay some attention to your wedding colors too. Say, if you are planning to keep the color of your wedding decor and your outfits as white and pink, make sure you're picking a wedding invite in the same hues. This way you'll not only be able to give a cohesive look to your wedding but also take your color-coordination game a notch above. (Note- Always take readability into consideration when picking your colors)
Just how you've set aside a budget for your outfits and jewellery, outline a budget for your wedding invitations to and make sure you don't go beyond it.

Since wedding invitations are meant to be sent out to your guests, their taste and preferences should also be taken care of. Say, if you know your guests won't be as convinced & amused on getting a boring e-invite than they would be on receiving a traditional one with quirky accompaniments, ditch on the idea of going digital with your invites. However, always keep your budget in mind before finalizing.

First things first, prepare a guest list. Once you are finished doing that, take the number of households into consideration and not the total number of people. For instance, if you are planning to invite 100 people and a majority of them are married, the number of invites you'll need would be somewhere closer to 65. But you should always order some extras keeping in mind those obvious last minute additions in the guest list. (Don't forget to follow these simple Dos & Don'ts while curating your guest list!)
After you have taken all of the above into consideration, decide what all cards would go inside the inside. Know whether you'll require a directions card, an accommodation card, a reception card or all of them, and tell your stationer to make necessary arrangements.

One of the most important things to consider while shopping for a wedding invitation is your invitation accompaniments. As much as your wedding invite, the favors & yummy treats that you giveaway to your guests along with it help in creating first impressions. So, be very picky when buying your invitation accompaniments. Pick accompaniments that are not only appropriate according to the season but also match well with your invite.
Your wedding invitation wording must reflect your wedding style and how you are as a couple. So, be very selective with your words while penning your message. Try to be as creative and personal with your wedding invitation wordings to create as one of a kind as your love.
