Ask the Celebration Advisor: My fiancé and I are from Baton Rouge, LA and we had a question about wedding invitations. What do we have as far as customizable options go and what would be the appropriate time to send them? -Casey

The Celebration Advisor: Wedding invitations are a very important aspect of a wedding. They add a touch of elegance to your special date. The recipients of your invite are more than likely to put it up on the fridge because the wedding invitation itself is a piece of art. Though daunting the task may seem, deciding an invitation design has never been easier when Wedding Invitations from Baton Rouge bridal shops come in no short supply.

Once I began to look at a few members from our website that carry wedding invitations, I realized that there are literally thousands of variations to choose from. They come in different sizes, shapes, color and countless styles. Whats important is that you make your invitation your own and that it fits the overall theme of your wedding. It is easy with the amount of styles available to accomplish this. For events in Baton Rouge, a few wedding invitation styles include:

• Contemporary
• Western
• Christian
• Classic
• Seasonal

To address your question about sending the invitations at the appropriate time, it is a matter of etiquette. Typically couples should send out notifications that include save-a-date cards,  and travel accommodations 3-4 months ahead of time, then send the wedding invitations 6-8 weeks before the big day.

With all the choices available for wedding invitation styles, you are sure to find what you need in Baton Rouge. I hope your wedding goes well and your invitations help give relatives and friends a taste of what is to come.
