by: You can start setting the tone with your save the dates but it’s the invitation itself that your guests will look to~for the final say on tone and formality.
Imagine your invitees opening up their wedding invitations. They will read every single word! No glossing over like they do with junk mail. This is YOU they’re reading about. You’ve got their attention. Now, {at the risk of being called a romantic} why not create a unique wedding invitation with your wording to not only, set the tone but communicate something special about the two of you! A phrase, a poem, a verse… ya know, unique wording that reveals something from your hearts… not talking cheesy, I’m talking personal. Leave your guests with something to think about. Where to start: great literary works, the Bible, poetry… how about writing it yourself?
What inspires your relationship? Express that to your guests…
