JoAnne and Penny would be glad to quote on your wedding requirements at no charge to you. Your invitation makes the first impression! It should set the tone and style of the wedding ypu are having. So choose your invitation and other stationery to,reflect the same importance ybu place on the rest of yqur weds g. -Make them special! Following are some tips far ordding invitations, taken from ,the Beverly Clark Collection's book, Planning A Wedding To Remember. Choose a stationer who offers a'wide variety of styles and prices to select from and one who is knowledgeable about r . wording and type styles. Determine the number to orderby figuring one for each married couple and couples who live • together, one for each single person and another for his or her date, if invited. (Dates neednot be invited, but if they are, they should receive,a separate invitation.) A separate invitation is also sent to children who are 16 or older. Don't' forget to order an invitation for -your officiant, attendants, their dates if invited, and both sets of parents. Order several extra invitatibns for/keepsakes, for mistakes (unless you're perfect), and last minute invitees (how could you have forgotten,Cousin Bertha?). • There are various types of printing processes used to print invitations, and they yary inprice. Ask to see samples, and make your decision based on what you like and what fits your budget: • Engraved invitations are the most traditional and formal, but also the most expensive. This is an old process whereby the paper is pressed onto a metal plate, causing the letters to be slightly raised on the paper. - • - •'Thermography, a relatively new printing process that has grown in popularity, probably is the number one choice for invitations today. This is a process that fuses ink and powder together on the paper to create raised letters which,resemble engraving. Since plates don't have to be made and the printing process is quicker, thermography is about half the price of engraved invitations. - • Offset printing is the least expensive of the three processes. This -is the standard printing process where the ink lies flat on the paper. This is a less formal look, but there are many inll colours and type styles to choose from. The style of calligraphy has become increasingly popular over the last few years, due both to the new computerized machines which can produce it, and the growing formality of weddings. Calligraphy is an elegant, -old italic script, used primarily in the past to address.envelopes. Now, with the new computerized calligraphy machines; which create a perfect scripteach time, invitations can easily be done. Most machines found in stationery stores can only inscribe one or two invitations at a time, but it's certainly faster and less expensive than having themhand-done by a calligrapher (still another option, of course).
