First Impression

A job interview, a first date, meeting the in-laws, first impressions are an important part of showing who you really are. When planning your wedding you are often concerned about the overall look of the day, the atmosphere that your guests will experience but what will be the first impression they get leading up to the big day? This is where your wedding invitation and save the date come into play.

The intial impression your guests will form of your wedding will be when they receive your save the date or invitation (if not doing a save the date). Whether your wedding is going to be formal or casual, on the beach or in a country club, all of this will be relayed through your invitation. Yes, the wording is important but the complete look of the invite is especially important to portray your big day.


I love opening invitations, either wedding or other special event, and getting excited for the event because of the look of the stationery. It is a little sneak peek into what the hosts are planning for the event (color scheme, style, location) and helps build the anticipation.

When planning your wedding day, make sure you consider the design of your invitation and other stationery product. It is a wonderful way to pull your entire event together and give your guests a glimpse into your plans.

I agree with you completely! The invitation you used here was an introduction to an elegant fall affair and the bride wanted something her guests would remember. But like you said it doesn't have to be seasonal... there are many more examples on my website: www.march27designs.com
