Destination weddings to Hawaii, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, Maui, Jamaica and more are becoming more and more popular as destination wedding planning online has become easier and easier. The beach is the most popular destination wedding theme these days and many brides want to start their wedding theme off right with a beautiful beach theme wedding invitation.

Many beach wedding invitation sites like BeachWedlockInvitations.com exist to offer hundreds of beach wedding invitations, but beach brides aren’t worried about finding the right beach invitation as much as they are worried about their beach wedding invitation wording.

Every bride wants her wedding to be unique and her wedding invitation is no different. Finding the perfect beach wedding invitation wording is as important as finding the perfect beach wedding invitation itself, so here are 5 beach wedding invitation wording tips.

1. Know yourself and your spouse to be – Your beach invitation wording should reflect you and your future spouses personalities, love and quirkiness … yes, quirkiness. Wedding invitations have been done for millions of years, if you want to be original, you are going to have to capture what makes you and your beach love different than other couples.

2. There is no wrong wording – Certain wedding invitation wording ethics exist, but most people don’t know them and wouldn’t notice if you went according to the rules or not. Besides, more and more brides and grooms are throwing the rules to the wind these days Read the rest of this entry »

Imagine this scene: Your wedding day, the day you have planned for months, has finally arrived. You are ready. Family and friends are gathered and you just cannot wait to have fun with everyone in celebration of this glorious day!

Are you imagining gliding blissfully around the wedding reception and stopping to catch up with all the friends and family attending your wedding? Are you imagining being showered with compliments as to what a fantastic day they’re having and how generally fabulous you are?

Unfortunately, the actual reality of most brides’ wedding day tends to be different. A recent Instant Forever wedding day survey showed that 71 percent of the couples surveyed spent only a few moments of their wedding day with their guests!

So how can you capture your wedding day memories with your guests to enjoy for years to come?

There are many options to choose from. How do you know which one is best for you? I’ve pulled together and reviewed some options to help you decide how you will capture your wedding day memories.

1. Traditional Wedding Guest Book

Guest books are a popular option for weddings. They’re available in a wide range of colours and prices to fit most budgets, and many stationers are able to make the guest book match your wedding stationery for added wedding elegance.

You’re engaged and having a wedding. There’s 101 things to think about, and plan, and one of them is the wedding invitations. Should you consider electronic wedding invitations?

It’s quite a debate. There are reasons for and against. Is there a move towards electronic wedding invitations, and should you consider them?

And of course there’s a number of ways to manage your electronic wedding invitations. Anouncing the wedding and offering invitations has been done on Facebook, for example.

Firstly, what are the advantages of using electronic invitations? Well the big advantage has to be the cost, or lack thereof. Electronic invitations are extremely cheap wedding invitations, or free. And cost is always a big factor for any wedding. If you can get away with cheap wedding invitations like electronic invitations, why not make some savings on the wedding budget?

And that’s a good point. There’s no doubt that weddings are extremely expensive, and many cannot afford all the trappings of a full blown wedding. Why not save some money using cheap wedding invitations? And put that money towards the wedding itself?

Cost is the big advantage of electronic invitations. There are others. For example an electronic invitation is a low carbon invitation, and doesn’t use paper. So no trees cut down to make them.

What are the disadvantages?

Well for me the big disadvantage is tradition. A wedding is an extremely traditional thing and I think that’s good. Now of course there are Read the rest of this entry »
