ETIQUETTE FOR WEDDING INVITATIONS

The Etiquette of Wedding Invitations

Wedding invitations can set the tone and style of a wedding. The wedding invitations also indicate how formal the occasion will be. Selecting just the right wording and stationery for the wedding invitation are important decisions. Wedding invitation etiquette helps to clarify what the wedding invitation should include. A wedding invitation should state the following:

  • Who is getting married
  • Who is hosting or giving the wedding
  • The date
  • The time
  • The location

Picture Perfect Proposal

Submitted by Jordon from Jonesboro Arkansas
Matt and I were on our way to Hot Springs for a day of relaxation. He had planned the day and it was all a surprise to me as to what we would be doing. When we arrived, there was a bit of a mix up on what time our "surprise" started, so we had to piddle around in the shops for a couple of hours before we got to actually go do what he had planned. When 5pm rolled around, we were Continue reading "Picture Perfect Proposal" »

Outdoor Wedding Cake

When planning an outdoor wedding, it is a good idea to order a fondant wedding cake. Rolled, draped, or fitted over a wedding cake, fondant is a sugar paste that will hold up in many situations. Fondant wedding cakes won’t drip or melt under any conditions. Fondant also seals in moisture and allows for advanced display time for the wedding cake. Besides the durability of fondant, it is available in a variety of colors that will match virtually any color scheme.
