Budget and terms of production of invitations

There are several options for purchasing wedding invitation cards:

Buy ready-made ones in the store

When choosing them, the main thing is that they are beautiful and, if possible, match the style and theme of the holiday. Although in most cases these cards will be made with traditional decorations, they are quite suitable if there is a need to save money or time.

Order individual invitations from a printing house

Such invitations give space for the newlyweds' imaginations. Moreover, in this case it is possible to provide for the production of different invitation cards: for friends - creative ones, for relatives - with warm words, for colleagues - in a more official style. Such postcards will cost a little more. Their cost will depend on the design, materials used, and circulation. Keep in mind that they will take time to make, so you should order them in advance.

Hands from that place: why not everyone can make handmade invitations

If the bride sews her own dress, prepares the first, second and cake for all the guests, she can easily take on making invitations. But it’s unlikely that a homemade design will look as stylish as those projects that we see in photo reports on The-Wedding.ru.

The concept of handmade is gradually beginning to arouse mistrust among people, since not all handmade artists have their “hands” growing from the right place! To figure out what is good handicraft and what is aesthetic disgrace, you need to have at least the rudiments of taste and adequately perceive reality. If for some people scrapbookers’ collages seem like stylish creativity, appropriate in the modern handmade goods market, then I can only advise raising your level of aesthetic education, focusing on current trends in the world of art and design.

I can’t say that everyone is obliged to order invitations from professionals and nothing else. If a person has good taste, has an understanding of how printing works, is able to create the design of his own invitations and has a lot of free time, then it is quite possible to do without the help of professionals. In all other cases, I advise you not to sacrifice the first impression of your guests about the upcoming wedding.

I definitely say no to hand-signing invitations unless it is professional calligraphy. There are exceptions - the customs of some nationalities require manual signature of invitations by one of the family members.

Even signing custom invitations is not a good idea unless you have just taken a crash course in calligraphy. But if the bride still decides to make wedding invitations with her own hands, then on The-Wedding.ru you can familiarize yourself with special master classes.

Alla Podolyak, workshop “Wild Heather”:

I won’t tire of repeating – handmade work can and should be neat and aesthetically pleasing! Yes, there are projects that are different in style and design (for example, once there was an order for “maximally crooked sheets”). But the result should always be excellent.

As for the design, signing of envelopes or invitations, it is certainly better to trust a professional. It is necessary to carefully approach the selection of all participants in the printing preparation process - this is the first thing your guests see; from the printing they already get an impression of the upcoming event.

But in order to compose the text of a wedding invitation, you don’t have to be a writer or hire a copywriter. The main thing is to write not pompously, but as simply and informatively as possible. A good invitation is focused not on the style of Leo Tolstoy’s multi-volume books, but on news that answers simple questions: “what? Where? When?". However, it can be quite emotional and personal.

The text of the invitations is a separate topic for thought and is very individual. In fact, there are no trends or taboos here. Every couple should understand who they are inviting and how people will react to their words. I am in favor of writing individual texts to my guests. For example, the official text for the groom’s boss will be rather dry and restrained. I don’t see the point in sending the same text to your mom or close friend. Write an invitation to your dear people that only they will understand and appreciate - imagine how pleased they will be!
Sometimes couples write warm and sincere texts, sometimes more laconic. My opinion is that the main thing is that it is written correctly and without errors. Perhaps I would just not write in poetic form.

Wording options for informing guests about a wedding abroad

  • We dreamed that our family's birthday would be held on the seashore. Please plan your vacation in advance to ensure that all necessary travel documents are completed without any problems. Don't worry, we will cover the transportation costs.
  • The registration of our marriage will take place on the paradise island / in the heart of Phuket, so we ask you to prepare documents for the trip (passports, visas) in time so that you can witness the birth of our family. And don’t worry: transportation costs are at our expense.
  • The newlyweds pay for the arrival and stay of the guests. You only need to prepare the necessary documents for the trip.
  • We decided to take on all transportation costs ourselves, so all you need is passports, visas and a great mood! Let's go celebrate the wedding!
  • Guests will be waiting for a transfer at 15:00, which will take you to the Northern Lights Hotel, where the celebration will take place.
  • Guests have booked rooms at the Northern Lights Hotel at the address: st. Etc. Pushkina, 17. Upon arrival, your guide/organizer Natalya will meet you at bus No. 23 at 15:00 and help you with check-in. For all questions related to your stay, call +7(999)99-99-99.

Time and money. How much does wedding printing cost? When should you give wedding invitations?

When the couple has decided on the list of guests, the date and location of the event, as well as its style, they can order invitations and related wedding printing (for example, seating cards and menus). If you don’t consider cards with swans and rings from the “Everything for 37 rubles” store, then you will have to set aside a certain budget for wedding printing.

How much are you willing to spend on a first impression? For example, when you get a good job, you’ll probably buy yourself an expensive suit, because people meet you based on their clothes. It’s the same at a wedding - the first impression and mood are created by invitations, this is an indisputable fact. The adequate cost of one high-quality invitation is at least 500 rubles. Anything below this amount is already a compromise. If all this “tinsel” is of no use to the couple and in general only get-togethers with relatives are planned, then you can get by with an electronic invitation, and that’s fine! And exclusiveness is expensive.

Unique professional product lines are always more expensive than mass market ones. This was, is and will be so in all product categories. Why? The answer is simple - producing any product in bulk is cheaper! The postcards that stand on the shelves in stores are a mass market printing product; it is produced in huge quantities, which significantly reduces the cost of production itself and, as a consequence, the price of the final product. Now let’s look at individual printing and highlight five reasons why it costs more:

  1. The circulation most often does not exceed 50-70 pieces, which is considered minimal by printing standards.
  2. The design is developed individually for the customer in a small edition - this is an exclusive design.
  3. High-quality expensive printing materials are used.
  4. One project can use different printing, pre-press and post-press techniques.
  5. Individual approach of the whole team, which creates exclusive invitations from “A” to “Z”.

There is no single rule for how long before the wedding you need to order and send out invitations. The adjustment must be made according to the season: for summer dates and guests make plans earlier, and wedding planners may have a whole line of customers. Therefore, in the West, long before sending the main invitation, it is customary to separately notify guests about the date of the celebration with a Save The Date card.

Traditionally, invitations are sent out one to three months before the wedding, depending on the size of the event. If the wedding is taking place abroad, it makes sense to invite guests even earlier, because they will need to plan a vacation from work, book tickets, and obtain visas.

Production times directly depend on the quantity, complexity of the work and season. For summer weddings, I would recommend thinking about invitations at the end of winter.

As for the budget, there is a wide range, both in prices and in offers. On average, I recommend spending from 30 to 100 rubles apiece on place cards for a wedding dinner, and from 150 to 300 rubles apiece on invitations.

Options for wording information about children at a wedding

  • We love all our little nephews and nieces very much, so we will be glad to see them among our important guests. The celebration program is designed in such a way that even the smallest guest will have something to occupy himself with.
  • For all our little guests, we have prepared exciting entertainment that will distract the children so that parents can enjoy the holiday.
  • Don’t worry, if suddenly there is no one to leave your child with, we are very glad to see your child at our holiday and will receive him as the most important guest. At our holiday, leisure activities will be organized for children so that adults can enjoy the holiday.
  • The restaurant area includes children's areas, and we have organized exciting games and competitions for our youngest guests.
  • The restaurant area does not provide for children's areas or separate spaces for organizing children's leisure activities; take care in advance about who to leave your baby with during the festive evening. Thank you for your understanding!
  • Unfortunately, the restaurant does not have children's areas and it is not possible to invite animators to entertain our youngest guests, so we ask you to think in advance about who to leave your baby with for the festive evening.

Be a friend, share with a friend!

Not without taboos: dress code, ban on “Gorko!” and preferred gifts

In addition to the date, time and place, the invitations can include any information about the holiday that will help guests better prepare for it. You have developed a scenario and style for the celebration, but the guests are not yet aware of your tastes and desires! If the invitations include a palette of preferred clothing colors, it will be easier for guests to choose them.

Some couples specifically mention taboos - for example, shouting “Bitter!” Or they delicately indicate that the best gift format for them is an envelope, but instead of flowers they would prefer to receive, for example, a book as a souvenir.

Marina Nazarova, photographer, Moscow:

Invitations are a great opportunity to tell guests about what awaits them at your wedding, what it will be like, how best and most comfortable to dress, what color scheme to choose.

First of all, believe me, your guests will thank you! You will save them from the headache and torment of choosing outfits. Based on your wishes and recommendations, they will be able to better prepare and feel comfortable, as they will well understand the format of the upcoming holiday. And this will create the right mood for your guests even before the holiday!

And secondly, all this will work great in favor of beautiful photographs. It looks very cool in the photo when the images are in harmony with the wedding concept or even just the color scheme unites the guests!

When all the invitations are finally delivered to the recipients, the lovers still have to receive a response from everyone. According to European tradition, the invitation may contain the abbreviation RSVP (Répondez s'il vous plaît) - translated from French it means “Please respond.” Yes, a guest can also say “no”, and this is not a reason for offense! The main thing is that in the end, only non-random people who are sincerely ready to share their happiness gather around the lovers at the wedding!
