As soon as marriage proposal is accepted, preparing for this important event starts in earnest. There are many fine points that have to be harmonized for a day that goes smoothly. Wedding invites are perhaps a good place to start as these need to go out as other arrangements are finalized.

Before picking out which paper they will be printed on, decide on the design be guided by this. The design of the invitations will lay out or hint at the atmosphere of the ceremony, as it is the first thing about imminent event your guests will encounter.

Choose one according to the kind of event you are planning for. If you are having a more formal or black-tie ceremony, keep the cards elegant and understated. Let them be on neutral-colored paper such as white, silver grey or gold with a minimum of decorations. For a less formal, garden event make the cards fun. They can be done on brightly colored paper with embellishments like ribbons, bows and shiny letters.

On choosing a design, decided the paper stock it should do on. One of the options available is card stock which is reasonably priced and gorgeous, especially if you use high quality card stock. Choose paper of not exceeding 300 in paper weight if you are posting several invitations as take one stamp.

Another option is to get blank wedding invitations that one personalizes with details and graphics. This can even be done on a computer. The blanks come in all colors to that they can be coordinated with the main colors of the wedding. They also come in neutral colors like white, silver grey and gold. Envelopes for the cards are also provided to match the invitations. This is a very cost-effective option for those on a tight budget as they are made using card stock paper which is quite inexpensive compared to premium paper.

Another way to go is to depart from the norm and use less common types of paper: scrap booking paper, patterned, embossed paper and decorative paper can all be used. There are actually hundreds types of paper that can be used to make wedding invitation cards.
