However, before you get stuck into choosing the right wedding invitations, you do need to make sure that you have enough space to clearly write the most important details about your wedding day. These are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- The date and time of your wedding.<\/li>
- Where you are going to have your wedding.<\/li>
- The location of the evening wedding reception, if this is a separate venue.<\/li>
- Whose wedding it is! It\u2019s normal to write your whole names or even to have the invitation coming from your parents.<\/li>
- RSVP details.<\/li>
- Any extra information that your wedding guests need.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
You may also like to include an extra piece of paper with directions to the wedding venue, a link to the wedding gift list, the dress code or wedding theme, (if there is one), whether a plus one is included in the wedding invitation, and accommodation options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n3D DIY Invitation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Once you start making your own wedding invitations you\u2019ll realize there is no limit to what is possible. You can purchase sticky felt that will allow you to add shapes, pictures, and other items to the plain card, effectively creating a 3D effect wedding invite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.poptop.uk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/b333310860e2d85c10422788859091e4.jpg?resize=564%2C564&ssl=1\")

<\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nOf course, this method will take time, especially if you have a lot of guests. But, if you start a good 8 or 9 months before the wedding you should be able to comfortably complete all the invitations in time to send them to your guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The great thing about 3D style wedding invites is that there is no restriction on design, simply create, cut out, or copy the required shapes and stick them to some card. With a little trial and error, you\u2019ll have wedding invites that look like they\u2019ve been professionally made!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Punch The Edges<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you have limited time, a large wedding list, or just want to personalize some standard style invites then you may want to consider getting some edging stamps. These put holes in the edge of your wedding invites and create a nice effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
