As it came time to order wedding invites, I thought I had an idea of what I wanted. I knew I wanted something eye-catching, yet somewhat simple. I knew I wanted them in the same color scheme as the wedding: red, ivory, and black. I thought this was going to be a semi-quick process, since I didn’t think I was very picky when it came to invitations. They almost all look so nice! I quickly realized that choosing the perfect wedding invitations takes time.

Narrow it down after looking at a wide range of wedding invites.
My fiancé and I began by looking for invitations online. When we found a few websites that we liked, we requested catalogs. We then spent a great deal of time looking through the catalogs, finding invitations that were eye-catching. From these, we selected a couple of our favorites and requested samples.Research wedding invitation templates, instead of websites.
Looking at the samples, I was drawn to invitations that had bows and ribbons; however, I knew I would not have time to assemble each one, so I decided I had to find a simpler design. I went back online to research wedding invitation templates, rather than websites I could purchase the actual invitations from. I found that I liked the idea of having a single, put-together invite, rather than multiple, loose pieces.
