Creating a guest list for your wedding is easy right? You just invite all the people that are important in you and your partner’s lives… oh and their partners… oh and some relatives you haven’t seen for years… and that distant friend that invited you to their wedding out of the blue… ok so maybe it’s not so easy. Fear not, in this handy guide to creating the perfect guest list you’ll find tips on ways to take the pain out of getting the numbers right without worrying about snubbing anyone important. Tip One - Divide & Conquer Divide up the number of guests you are inviting between you, your partner and your respective parents. So let’s say your wedding venue can cater to 200 guests. You could split the list 75 each for you and your partner and 25 each for your parents. It may be that things don’t work out as evenly as that but the key is to agree the numbers first. This way you avoid conflict when your intended insists that he has to invite the entire rugby squad. Tip Two - Invite Everyone Don’t take this literally but a bit of brain splurging is a good way to get started. Sit down and write a list of everyone you would invite if you could. From your sister to that cousin that used to make you laugh when you were kids, your best friend to the guy in work who tells a cracking joke - this is a no holds barred list of everyone you think would be ‘good’ at a wedding. Now you have a list of everyone you should invite and a whole load you probably shouldn’t. This is a good starting place to apply the rules… Tip Three - Cut, Cut, Cut You might need to take your ruthless pill for this part, or a double espresso, whatever works. Time to start whittling down that list to those who really matter. If you can stick to these rules you should have a lovely paired down list of the important people in your life who you are truly looking forward to seeing on the day. Rule 1: If neither of you has spoken to or met them in the last year or two and they are not relations - cut Rule 2: If you are not keen on inviting kids, then don’t. Rule 3: If they are only on your list because you’d feel guilty about not inviting them - cut Rule 4: If the idea of inviting them round for dinner holds no appeal at all - cut Tip Four - Collaborate If you’ve divided up the guest list between you and your parents using a shareable spreadsheet is a great idea. You could use google docs or keep an updatable spreadsheet in dropbox or the likes. If there’s one guest list to refer to it makes life a whole load easier. Tip Five - Remember the Mantra - Budget & Space, Budget & Space Inevitably you’ll be faced with someone saying 'Oh I can’t wait for your wedding’ and that someone will be someone you’re not planning on inviting. Awkward doesn't quite cover saying 'sorry you’re not coming’ - so recite this mantra - 'yes budget and space mean we can’t invite everyone we’d like to’ then move the conversation swiftly on to something unrelated to weddings - 'your hair looks great!’ or 'have you been working out?'might work. So there you have it, tips for creating the perfect wedding guest list. One final tip is to try and enjoy the process, imagine how much fun you’ll have with the people you love on the day you declare your intention to share the rest of your lives together. from Com Bossa, Luxury Wedding Stationery - Com Bossa Blog https://www.combossaweddinginvitations.co.uk/blogs/news/how-to-make-the-perfect-guest-list via IFTTT

LETTERPRESS WEDDING INVITATONS
Letterpress wedding invitations... to have and to hold.Often mistaken for embossed wedding invitations, letterpress wedding invitations are in a class of their own.There are certain things in life that have to be experienced in order to be fully appreciated. The cool sand between your toes as you walk barefoot on the beach, the first sip of a glorious glass of wine as you unwind, the unmistakeable crack of the bar as you break off a square of delicious chocolate. Letterpress wedding invitations need to be held in your hand before you can really understand why they are so special.
When you hold a piece of 600gsm card (think several times thicker than a good quality business card) in your hand you'll feel the soft texture and the weight of the card will immediately signal luxury and quality. All this before we've even come to the deep impression of the letterpress print on the surface of this fine piece of wedding stationery perfection. You see letterpress printing involves a printing plate which is used to make a deep impression into the surface of your wedding invitation. You can actually see the edges and shadows created by the indentation of each word and letter. Fine details and graphics come to life in three dimensions. It really is like nothing else in the world of wedding stationery. Many people mistake letterpress wedding invitations for embossed wedding invitations. This is understandable as the two have much in common. The big difference being embossed wedding stationery has the text and design raised from the surface of the card where as letterpress wedding stationery is impressed into the surface - debossed to be precise. So how do I get my hands on some of this paper perfection I hear you ask. Well today is your lucky day. If you're curiosity has been tweaked and you have read this far you shall be rewarded my trusty friend

Are you getting married in 2019? Want to have unique, on trend wedding invitations for your wedding? Here they are… our 5 tips for the hottest wedding invitation trends in 2019. 1. It’s all in the detail… I’m very much a less is more enthusiast when it comes to design but sometimes a finely detailed pattern or intricate design just works. Especially when you combine it with some simple bold type. 2. Geometrics… Geometric patterns are a hot trend for wedding invitations in 2019 but many of the best patterns date back centuries. There is something deeply satisfying and inherently appealing about a beautiful geometric pattern. 3. Venue sketches… You’ve fallen in love with a country house, a castle or a charismatic church and intend to declare your everlasting love for each other in its hallowed halls. So why not have that romantic edifice forever laid down in fine detail on your wedding invitations? One of the best parts of my jobs is when I switch off email, put the phone on do not disturb and settle down to create a finely detailed sketch of a wondrous wedding venue. 4. Monograms… Monogram wedding invitations were big in 2018 and that trend is only set to continue for 2019 weddings. As there are normally two people involved in a wedding these are technically not monograms but duograms but let’s not split hairs. Beloved of Amal and George Clooney the duogram takes your initials and combines them to form a motif repressing your joining together in wedded bliss. 5. Copper Foil… You may have marvelled at the lustre of metallic gold foil carefully embossed on a super thick card. You may even have lusted after the warm glow of rose gold foil. But have you experienced the cool, celestial wonder of metallic copper foil? I must admit I have a bit of a thing for copper, I have shelves, candle holders, wine coolers and a multitude of things that have been treated to a spray with some copper spray paint - you should try this, it is highly satisfying - so I’m a little biased. But I’m going to come out and say it, copper foil rules the it comes to hot wedding invitations for 2019 weddings. So that’s it my prediction for the hottest wedding invitation trends for your 2019 wedding. I hope you’ve found some inspiration and I’d love to hear about your ideas for your perfect 2019 wedding stationery. from Com Bossa, Luxury Wedding Stationery - Com Bossa Blog https://www.combossaweddinginvitations.co.uk/blogs/news/the-5-hottest-wedding-invitation-trends-for-2019 via IFTTT

So there’s a correct way to word my wedding invitations? Well actually yes and no. The way you word your wedding invitations is entirely up to you but there are a few things that some people struggle with. Oh really? What kind of things? It mainly comes down to who is paying for the wedding. This can affect how you word your wedding invitation in some cases. Tell me more… Ok, so lets say your parent are paying for the entire wedding. They may want this reflected in the way the invitation is worded. For example they may wish to be seen as doing the inviting. Like this… Mr & Mrs Parents request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their daughter Jennifer to… Or they may just be very generous and not bothered at all about having their names on your invitation. I see, so are there any other things to note? Yes, this is just one of a number of different scenarios that may affect the way your wedding invitation is worded. For instance both sets of parent may be contributing to the wedding costs, other family members, grandparents etc., may be involved or the couple may be forking out for the whole shebang themselves… or a combination of all of the above might be the case. Sheesh! Sounds complicated! Well families can be complicated but luckily wording your wedding invitation needn’t be.
