Getting Started With Wedding Anniversary Invitations

Wedding anniversary invitations are something no husband wants to mull over. Invitations, however, can be fun, exciting, and rewarding. The wife and husband should both take part because the wedding anniversary is a shared event, unlike a birthday or Mother’s Day or Father’s Day. Make the invitation selection fun for your husband by letting him pick out the theme. Choose a certain thing that he really likes doing – and that you tolerate – and he’ll go nuts. He’ll go wild for the celebration, but also for the wedding anniversary invitations. The whole key is to get him involved in the selection process. If the cards reflect the event, and the event is steered in his favor, then he’ll jump on board in a flash.

Before you ever pick out or start working on your wedding anniversary invitations, you need to choose a location and theme for the event. These two factors are the hard part, and wedding anniversary invitations are a piece of cake – no pun intended. Don’t let a bulk discount card retailer or local card store be your first choice in the matter. Go online and search it out. Your cards may be easy to acquire – and also easy to throw away. Unfortunately, most people go for the easy route, and it turns out that not many guests save the cards as keepsakes. It’s fun for guests to save the cards in their scrapbooks because a lot of people retain all their greeting cards. Cards, by nature, are fun to collect. Give people a reward in the mail with an elegantly-picked wedding invitation.

You should always go online because you can always create photo anniversary invitations online. Unlike brick and mortar stores where the options are limited, photo anniversary invitations make wedding anniversaries more personal. People don’t like getting impersonal, store-bought cards in the mail because they can go out and buy nice-looking things themselves. However, the friendly faces on the cards are priceless. You can only get them online though.

General good principles for sending out wedding anniversary invitations include mentioning the type of clothing you’d like worn, the refreshments and food available, the length of the event, etc. etc. It’s also customary to send out the invitations 2 weeks prior to the event to give the guests plenty of time to re-arrange their schedules for the big event. There’s nothing quite so fun as commemorating a potentially lifelong marriage with the friends of your choice.
