Posted in: creative | April 12th 2010 | no comments
Several centuries ago, the French and English aristocracy or their members exchanged wedding invitations among themselves just as another form of entertainment. Usually these wedding invitations were sent even to the royal families, so the act of sending wedding invitations was a privilege reserved only for the nobility.
This custom was inherited by the new world and as time went by and modernization became its constant trend, wedding invitations also evolved from the common white invitation with beautiful hand written calligraphy to colorful, elaborate, themed models.
The wedding invitation should contain strict information about the wedding ceremony: the name of the bride, which is written first, and the name of the groom, their parents names, the exact date, time and location of the wedding, in case the location is not known by your guests you could include some directional details.

Below I shall give some few examples of popular sayings or quotes often used for the wedding invitations and of course, you can always choose the right one for you or the one you particularly liked the most.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.”

And when two people understand each other in their inmost hearts,
Their words are sweet and strong, like the fragrance of orchids.”
