Wedding Invitations

Eggplant Wedding Invitations

You can say that in the beginning of the twentieth century humanity had made a big progress in the wedding field so the simple wedding invitations written on a white piece of paper who usually had the family crest or the coat of arms of the nobles printed on them were replaced with various colorful invitation cards designs and patters, of unimaginable and outstanding sizes and shapes or using the main theme of the wedding as the main design for the wedding invitations.




Until the middle ages, the invitations to the wedding were verbalized and the news of a marriage was spread only among family members and close friends; the town crier was the one responsible with issuing out loud the wedding announcements.

When this custom of sending wedding invitations had reached the shores of the US, people there had two options: making the wedding announcement with the help of the wedding invitations or announcing the wedding day in a local or national newspaper; the latter alternative was mainly used by people who were just to poor to buy and send the wedding invitations with the newly invented portal services.

The themed wedding have become increasingly popular over these last decades and usually, the theme is chosen depending on the personal preferences of the main couple or let’s be fair, whatever is the decision of the bride, the groom should always comply. If the bride wants a farm style wedding than the atmosphere of the wedding should remind us of a farm location or you can even organize this wedding in such a location; if the bride want an eggplant color wedding invitations design than choose this type of invitations; if the bride wants an eggplant themed wedding invitation than it’s a must to have this pattern design for the invitation cards.

Thermography made the printing methods so easy because not only did it allow the mass production of unique and one-of-a-kind and personalized wedding invitations, with its beautiful raised letter and pattern effect, but it also replaced the expensive method of writing the invitation text by hand, with an intricate calligraphy style or old style letter fonts. So, choosing a themed wedding invitation with strange designs and in various colors, in outstanding sized and shapes became a common trend; even the eggplant design for the wedding invitation did not seem like such an outrageous thing since people could afford buying whatever they liked.

The online manufacturers sometimes make some invitation offers at discounted prices that you may find hard to refuse, especially since you have the possibility of ordering them directly form their internet sites after viewing some samples and chosen the favorite one. These wedding invitations can sometimes be common or unique but you also have the option of personalizing you own wedding invitations or you can even make them yourself by simply using your creativity and artistic skills. With a pair of scissors and the right paper material you can create some beautiful eggplant shaped wedding invitation cards and you can find inspirational sources all over the place.

But enough talk about the design of the wedding invitations since the real importance of the wedding invitation is given by the information it contains such as the name of the bride and groom, the location and address of the wedding ceremony and reception and an added printed map or some directional signs, the name of the wedding hosts, the time and date of the ceremony and reception and the RSVP.

The information about the ceremony, the reception and the RSVP can be written of the same wedding invitation card or on separate ones, usually adding to the RSVP card a return address. The RSVP is added only when the attendance response is important for the final arrangements of the wedding; it can easily be replaced by the expression “Regrets only” and a phone number for contact if you are expecting only the non-attendance replies.

The wedding hosts are the ones that pay for the wedding, normally being the bride’s parents or in various cases, only the groom’s parents or both families; in these modern day the couple may actually decide to pay for their own wedding if they have the financial resources and it will be their personal decision whether to include or not the name of their parents on the invitations.

There are two language styles to issue the wedding invitations: using the simple formal language, usually requested by the wording etiquette, or the non-traditional and informal wording style.
