Understanding how to properly word your invitations can be confusing at times; even I need to constantly refer back to my “how to” list to make sure that I’m using proper etiquette.

I've been asked several times recently exactly how to word invitations issued by divorced parents - and it's no wonder why. Proper wording, or etiquette, in this situation is extremely important. Below, I've provided some examples of how your invitations should be worded in these situations -<br />

While the year is still young and I’ve only had a few consultations, I’ve certainly been learning a lot about what this years brides want in wedding stationery – at least in my general location of the world.<br />
<br />

During a consultation this past weekend for invitations; as this bride was flipping through the pages of various albums, she piped up with one comment that really got my mind racing. Here it is, in all its brutal honesty… “You know, these are all very pretty… but, they are expensive, why? It’s a piece of paper that is just going to get thrown in the garbage.”<br />

Had you been the one sitting with this bride for the past hour and a half, you would have been able to read between the lines…<br />

Over the weekend, during some insomniac moments, I decided to do some browsing through various sites. During my sessions, I came across some really awesome color combinations – many of which are this year’s hottest colors!<br />
<br />
Here are just a few:<br />
<br />
Orange and Hot Pink<br />
Tiffany blue paired with Black and White<br />
Turquoise and Lime Green (or, citrone)<br />
Purple (lighter shades, like Lilac) with Black<br />
Hot Pink and Lime Green<br />
Orange and Brown<br />
Lime Green and Butter<br />

Lime Green and Butter<br />
Yellow and Gray<br />
<br />
Do you see a trend with Lime Green … hmmmm …<br />
<br />
While Black is still a popular color choice, it seems as though Gray is rapidly becoming the new black – as I’m seeing it everywhere.<br />
<br />
My favorite is the Lime Green and Butter combination – the softness of the Butter shade really combines well with the brightness of the Lime – a great contrast that really says “wow!” (at least in my eyes anyway)!<br />
<br />
Whatever your color choices, have fun with them!<br />

When I was doing custom, hand-crafted, invitation designs, I worked with a bride who had a vision about what she wanted and how. Her color combination was red and gold – but not just any red; it had to be scarlet. I immediately grasped this client’s idea as I completely fell in love with the color combination. Her invitations turned out to be absolutely stunning. Ever since, I’ve tried to work with this color combination as much as I can. I mean really, I wish I had thought of this color…
When I was doing custom, hand-crafted, invitation designs, I worked with a bride who had a vision about what she wanted and how.

Her invitations turned out to be absolutely stunning. Ever since, I’ve tried to work with this color combination as much as I can. I mean really, I wish I had thought of this color combination when I got married … way back when…<br />
<br />
There are several words that come to mind when I see red and gold together - elegance, prestige, regal. I’m all for elegance. And, I’m obviously all for red and gold. That’s why I’m so pleased to announce the new “Asian Inspired” line of invitations we now offer.<br />
<br />
<p style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/73807036?profile=original" alt=""/></p>
Again, absolutely stunning!<br />

Beautiful details.<br />
Awesome, modern, prints of lotus flowers, swirls, paisleys and more.<br />
<br />
These invitations will definitely WOW! your guests and demand their attention.<br />
<br />
To view all of these beautiful invitations, follow this link – <a href="http://www.gracieweddinginvitations.cceasy.com" target="_blank">www.gracieweddinginvitations.cceasy.com</a> – and do a product search for either “red and gold wedding” or “Asian inspired” – as they are there, but not yet categorized.

So, if you’ve hopped on over to my <a href="http://www.fanniestreetstationery.com" target="_blank">website</a>, and actually read the “About Us” page – you may have read-between-the-lines and found out a little secret …<br />

I love paper! I love wedding stationery! And, my true stationery passion is creating custom, hand-made wedding invitation designs.<br />
<br />
Well, life sometimes takes its funky twists and turns … with a 5 year old Diva (whom I proudly admit is already creating her own “invitation designs”) and a baby boy on the way – I’ve decided it best to take a break from that side of my business.<br />
<br />
But, that doesn’t mean I’m giving it up! In the meantime, I’ve decided to create a new line of exclusive, hand-made invitations - “Of Days Gone By.” Weddings are all about romance, right? “Of Days Gone By” will feature simple – yet, elegant, romantic designs. I’m really hoping to have the line available in late 2010 / early 2011 – yep, I’m taking my time with this one! These designs will utilize my most favorite things in creating stationery – those things that I absolutely love, love, love doing; design styles that I can’t get enough of doing – papers that I actually dream of … I’m sure you get the point.<br />
<br />
Because I’m so excited (as well as the fact that I love to show-off my work); I’ll be providing occasional sneak peeks of what I’m up to. You can visit my site <a href="http://www.fanniestreetstationery.com/pages/HandmadeDesign.htm" target="_blank">here</a>, to check it out. If things go according to my plan, there will also be a few surprise announcements along the way.<br />
<br />
Also, in the meantime, if you are looking for wedding invitations – <a href="http://www.fanniestreetstationery.com" target="_blank">Fannie Street</a> offers all of your invitation, announcement, ceremony / reception essentials and more! And, the other day, we introduced a service where, based upon your specifications (for example, budget, colors, style), we will provide you with stationery recommendations from the hundreds upon hundreds of designs we offer.<br />
<br />
Here’s to the future!<br />

Sometimes, choosing your wedding stationery can be even more frustrating than finding a dress that ALL your bridesmaids like! With so many options, styles and techniques available; shopping for your stationery could really make your head spin.<br />
<br />
We’ve compiled a listing of the most popular terms when it comes to wedding stationery. Feel free to use this list as your shopping guide, print it, share it! Knowing many of these terms is your ticket to choosing the perfect stationery for your special day!<br />
<br />
Applique - A decoration or ornament applied to a larger surface.<br />
<br />
Bellyband - A decorative paper, ribbon or fabric band wrapped and secured around the wedding invitation or one of its accompanying pieces.<br />
<br />
Blind Embossing - Blind embossing is a printing method where an image is pressed into paper resulting in a raised design. The embossing is termed “blind” because the design is formed without ink or foil. (Debossing is an image stamped onto paper or a napkin without ink or foil; it appears “indented.”)<br />
<br />
Bright White - This shade is the ultimate in white, very crisp, pure and bright!<br />
<br />
Calligraphy - The perfected art of handwriting/penmanship. Often associated with fancy, curlicue script, calligraphy is now comprised of several genres and styles.<br />
<br />
Card - Invitation cards do not fold, your wording is printed on the front.<br />
<br />
Corrugated - Term describing the appearance of paper with thick wrinkles, ridges, and grooves.<br />
<br />
Deckle Edge - An uneven, feathery edge on a piece of paper is called a deckle edge. This edge is most commonly found on parchment invitations; however, other papers may also have deckle edges and will be noted in descriptions.<br />
<br />
Die-Cutting - The process of using sharp metal rules to cut shapes and designs into paper. Die-cutting includes cutout shapes and sculpted edges.<br />
<br />
Double Envelopes - The traditional set of two envelopes is used with formal invitations and announcements. The outer envelope is addressed to the guest and may have your (the sender’s) address printed on the back flap. The inner envelope, with the invitation and enclosures is enclosed inside the outer envelope. The inner envelope carries only the guests’ names. The inner envelope is available with a coordinating liner; it is not gummed and is not sealed.<br />
<br />
Ecru - This color is a warm creamy beige.<br />
<br />
Embossing - Embossing is like blind embossing above, only this type of printing uses ink or foil on the raised area to add drama and dimension.<br />
<br />
Engraving - The most formal of printing methods, through which the letters appear slightly raised. A "bruise" typically forms on the back of the paper from the pressure.<br />
<br />
Engraving plate - An etched steel die used to create engraved type or images.<br />
<br />
Faux - A fashionable term from French to indicate something made to look like it is something else. Literally this means "false."<br />
<br />
Flourishes- The ornate calligraphic details that frequent ultra-formal invitations<br />
<br />
Foil Stamping - This effect is achieved when colored foil is hot-stamped onto paper (perhaps a Christmas card) or accessory items, such as napkins.<br />
<br />
Folder - Invitation folders are folded once, either to create a top or side fold. Your wording is printed on the front.<br />
<br />
French-Fold - A sheet of paper folded twice to create a four-paneled invitation is considered French-folded. This fold is most common with parchment invitations.<br />
<br />
Glassine - A very thin, waxy paper. Thinner than vellum (see below), its surface is slick and shiny, whereas vellum is more translucent. Glassine is best suited for envelope use, while vellum is sturdy enough to be printed on directly for invitation use.<br />
<br />
Handmade Papers - Made from natural organic materials including cotton, rag, hemp, and plant fibers, uneven or "rough" in texture.<br />
<br />
Hands - The various (calligraphic) script and lettering styles a talented calligrapher can create.<br />
<br />
Industrial Papers - Made from chipboard or newsprint, often from recycled fibers, industrial papers have a rugged, hip look about them. Corrugated cardboard and brown kraft paper (think brown grocery bags) are examples.<br />
<br />
Initial Cap - A term for the exaggerated, oversized first letter of a word you'll sometimes see in lavish calligraphy or a decorative typeface.<br />
<br />
Invitation Holder - A small pocket that secures your invitation and enclosure cards. Invitation holders are especially useful when sending multiple enclosure cards because they allow guests to easily keep track of the pieces. Holders also create a stylish, organized effect.<br />
<br />
Jacquard - Screen-printed paper that creates an illusion of layering; for example, paper that looks like it's overlaid with a swatch of lace.<br />
<br />
Laid - Paper that's similar to Vellum (see below), with a rougher, bumpy finish.<br />
<br />
Layers - This term indicates layers of paper tied or glued together. If the top layer is translucent and the lower is decorative paper, you’ll see a muted version of the lower layer through the translucent top.<br />
<br />
Letterpress - A beautiful printing alternative to engraving (but more expensive). The labor-intensive method dates back to the fifteenth century and involves inking an image to produce an impression: the impression is transferred by placing paper against the image and manually applying pressure. The images and typeface appear precise -- individually "stamped into" the paper -- and very rich in color. Letterpress is great if you're using unusual paper, motifs, typeface, or want to play around with pigments. Comparatively, engraving and thermography restrict the possibilities.<br />
<br />
Linen Finish - A paper type with a surface that's more grainy than pure cotton stocks. Another elegant, classic choice for wedding invitations.<br />
<br />
Liners - This term refers to the decorative paper used to line the inside of an inner envelope or a single envelope.<br />
<br />
Marbled Paper - Decorative paper marked by swirling, abstract patterns that resemble the surface of marble.<br />
<br />
Matte - Paper with an opaque, non-reflective finish.<br />
<br />
Monograms - A decoration using the initials of a name. When the middle letter of a person's monogram is larger than the side two, the sequence of initials is first name on the left, surname in the middle, then middle name on the right. When all letters are the same size, the sequence of initials from left to right is first name, middle name, then surname. If you are combining the bride's name with the groom's, you must use the format with the middle letter larger. In this case, the sequence of initials is the bride's first name on the left, mutual surname in the middle, and the groom's first name on the right.<br />
<br />
Mylar - Foil-like paper, non-crinkling with a shiny, mirror-like finish. It's best for envelopes, and not appropriate for the invitation (ink doesn't take to it well).<br />
<br />
Offset-printed - The "flat" printing used on everyday fliers, letterhead, stickers, and more. It's a nice choice if you want to save lots of cash, use highly textured paper, or several different colors of ink (with engraving and embossing, you're usually limited to just one).<br />
<br />
Panel - A panel is the center section of your invitation “framed” by a raised area of paper. It also refers to pages facing each other. For example, a tri-fold invitation when opened fully, has a left, middle and right panel.<br />
<br />
Parchment - This translucent paper is made to look like original parchment. This distinctive paper adds a softening effect to any invitation.<br />
<br />
Pearlize - The process that applies a luminous pearl-like finish to part of an invitation, usually to an embossed design, is called pearlizing.<br />
<br />
Pocket Folders - A pocketed folder used for presenting the invitation card and additional pieces in one packet. Typically, the invitation card is immediately visible once the folder is opened. Additional pieces are tucked into the folder’s accompanying pocket.<br />
<br />
Point Size - Unit of measure indicating the size of an individual letter or character<br />
<br />
Rice Paper - A thin, soft paper that is actually not made from rice. It's non-traditional, but beautiful and elegant. It can only accept the letterpress printing mode; cream and ivory are the most common colors used in the design of rice paper wedding invitations.<br />
<br />
Short-Fold - A short-fold is created when a sheet of paper is folded once, not exactly in half, forming an invitation with a short front panel and longer back panel.<br />
<br />
Soft White - This shade is a soft white, like wedding gowns. It is a delicate hue.<br />
<br />
Stock -Refers to the paper component of a project. The term is used to describe the thickness and heaviness of paper. Hardy card stock is ideal for formal wedding invitations. They'll often come accompanied by a square of tissue or parchment (delicate stocks) for elegant contrast.<br />
<br />
Thermography - This type of printing is created by adding a resin powder to wet ink, which when heated, creates a raised surface.<br />
<br />
Tri-Fold - A tri-fold is created when a sheet of paper is folded twice to form a three-paneled invitation. Both outside panels are folded inward to cover the center panel.<br />
<br />
Typeface - The style/appearance of a letter or numeral. With the arrival of desktop publishing, the term is more or less synonymous with the word "font."<br />
<br />
Vellum - Vellum is a paper with a rich, smooth finish.<br />
<br />
Variegated - A term you might hear used to describe the look of certain paper or ribbon, meaning that it bears discreet hints of different colors<br />
<br />
Watermark - The translucent emblem or "beauty mark" buried in fine paper that becomes visible when the paper is held up to light. A watermark denotes superb quality, signifying the exclusivity of the paper company or boutique.<br />
<br />
White - This shade is a soft white, like wedding gowns. It is a delicate hue.<br />
<br />
Z-Fold - A z-fold is created when a sheet of paper is folded twice in accordion fashion to form a three-paneled invitation.<br />
<br />
