If you are wondering just what types of wedding invitations are available for your wedding, let’s just say, if you can dream it, it can happen.  Even if you have a budget to keep in mind, you still have many many options to choose from.  How your invitations are printed is the major factor that determines what they will cost.

Engraved Wedding Invitations:  Engraved invitations have sharp, raised text and an indentation on the back.  This method is the most expensive process used to print an invitation.

Thermographed:  This method is less expensive than engraving while still giving the elegant raised effect to the text.

Printed:  This can be done by a printing company or with a home computer.  This is the most popular method of printing of wedding invitations because of its wealth of options and affordability.

Handwritten: When you are not inviting many guests to your wedding, you have the option of writing invitations, in your own handwriting or in a calligraphy style.

Packaging is another consideration you will need to make with your invitations.  Here again, there are many options.  You can make your invitations as simple or creative as you want by putting pieces in pockets or folders and adding embellishments such as ribbons and beads.

When choosing your invitation, you’ll want to consider the style of your wedding; is your wedding formal or casual?  There are formal wedding invitations as well as casual wedding invitations.  Take care to find an invitation that coordinates with the style of your wedding, as it will give your guests great insight into what they can expect on the big day. Look at wedding invitation samples.

If you choose a printed invitation, your options are a little more open. Pre-designed invitations are the way most brides today choose to go with:  they choose a basic design and then add their own colors and embellishments.  Most brides agree that one of the fun parts of the wedding planning process is choosing your wedding invitations!
