Have Your Wedding Invitations Done By A Professional Printer

Thanks to personal computers and high quality home printers and printing programs, most people are able to print out their own personal resumes another small office or personal related task. But when it comes to something really important like your wedding invitations, you need to have it done by a professional in order for it to look right.

Your wedding invitation is something you will probably keep in your scrapbooks to show your children someday and you don't want your invitations to look like low-quality or homemade handy work.

When it comes to making your wedding invitations there's a lot of things to take into consideration that the print shop can help you with. The first consideration is going to be what style of invitation do you want. For example do you want formal or informal invitations? If you're not sure what you're looking for the printing shop personnel can no doubt help guide you.

Your next decision is going to be in ink and paper colors, font style and how many invitations you need. You probably thought the hardest part of your wedding was going to be planning your dress, finding a church, and coordinating events with your parents and future in-laws, but your wedding invitation is no small task to tackle either.

You should send out your wedding invitations at least six weeks in advance. This gives plenty of time for out-of-town guests to make arrangements to come and gives a wide window of time for guest to RSVP. So it's important to start planning what your invitations will look like, especially the think this is going to be a hard task for you to complete, before that six week date ahead your wedding day looms.

Most shops can have your wedding invitations up and out ready to mail within a couple of days at the most. Before your wedding invitations are printed en masse however the printer will make up a mockup invitation for your approval. It's important that you look at this mock up closely. If there are any mistakes, if it's the wrong shade of white or the wrong font style, and you don’t correct it, this is what will be printed up and this is what you will be paying for even if it's the wrong information.

So pay attention to the mockup invitation and don't assume the dates, your names, or anything else is spelled right unless you look at it and know it's spelled right. Most of the time your printer will get it right, but mistakes do happen in layout so pay attention and be responsible for your side of this agreement which is to proof it.

And don’t forget the envelopes while you’re there. You want your envelopes to coordinate with your wedding invitations. You can have your envelopes prepared at the same time you have your invitation printed up, so the only job left will be to stamp and deliver your invitations to the post office for delivery.
