Love Notes To: Your Wedding Guests

Love Notes To: Your Guests

Whether you are newly engaged or already making decisions on all of the fine details that will come together to help create your beautiful wedding. Knowing a little about etiquette will be helpful and hopefully this will trigger an idea or answer questions that you may have.

Today's etiquette is not EXACTLY the same as back in the day BUT never the less we still use it or I will dare to say that you will before all is said and done. There are many online resources. I hope this will answer some questions and lead you in the direction that you need to be and save you time and aggravation when it comes to etiquette.

Etiquette= A body of rules of social conduct that tells us what our society considers proper and acceptable behavior. Try to remember these 3 things
common sense
courtesy
and usage
According to Cranes Blue Book of Wedding Stationary
Etiquette; the foundation is common sense
Courtesy is the spirit and through usage new customs become part of etiquette(crane's blue book)

Your Wedding a festive occasion is something that should be personal and bring people together with a lot of "LOVE" remember writing love notes and getting love notes?....the actual notes are a little more personal than email.
Social etiquette will probably be used whether traditional or casual.

If your getting married or in any way part of a wedding, you will probably be faced with social etiquette. What to expect, What dress, etc. Weddings are social events therefore using social etiquette vs. professional etiquette is the way to go. Try to think of your wedding invitation as writing a "Love Note" to each guest...Huh!? Yes a Love Note

MAKE A STATEMENT!

What seems small is really HUGE. Full of DETAIL your invitations are more than just "information." By the information in the invitation your guests should be able to see if they will attending a Beach Wedding, Church Wedding or The Grand Ball Room. Your invitation can be a theme that you will carry out to the end, Ink color can also say, "traditional" (black and white (ecru) or maybe stylish and fashionable "red ink." Regardless, your wedding invitations are a big part of your event. They are not something that is should be decided at the last minute. After all this is your wedding day.

Your Wedding Invitation will say a lot. Create a feeling, a style and give guests a little sneak peak of what is to come

DEFINITELY create a "must attend" status by sending an invitation that you've put your heart into. You will be creating the atmosphere from the very beginning.

Make sure that your invitation does not get tossed with the junk mail! Put some thought into your budget, add your stationary so you will not find yourself down to the wire and JUST realizing the importance of you wedding invitations.

Let your invitations be the Love Note to your guests that will make them want to share this wonderful day with you and your fiance'.

You Don't Get A Second Chance To Make A First Impression
