One of the first things a couple should do when planning a wedding is to choose a theme. This includes size, formality and colors that are to be incorporated. The wedding theme should be evident in all aspects of the wedding from the wedding dress to the flowers to the venue to the catering. However, many couples forget to incorporate the theme into their wedding invitations. Picking invitations, in general, can be a tedious experience; having them fit your theme, however, can make the entire process easier, narrowing choices and ensuring the invitees are aware of the theme in general. This is where Cindy Witkow Designs can help.

Once your theme is chosen, you can begin searching through the site to find an invitation that fits your theme and Cindy Witkow Designs will be there for you through each step in the process. Colors that coordinate with the theme should be incorporated. Look at the font colors, envelope liner colors and any embossed images that are present to make sure it fits well into your theme.

The font, paper type and wording of the invitation should also match the theme, especially the formality of the wedding. If you are having a formal wedding, make sure you have fine paper stock as opposed to a budget, heavier stock. A formal wedding invitation should include traditional, formal wording on the invitation as well as script or other appropriate font styles. However, if you are having an informal wedding, you can choose a heavier stock, block lettering and less formal wording. Cindy Witkow Designs offers solid ink which creates raised printing, therefore making it look richer and more elegant.

While looking through samples it is best to choose a few different invitation styles in the event your first choice is unavailable. Budget is always a consideration, so if you have a few samples on your short list that coordinates with your theme, you can then look more closely at price and choose the one that is less expensive. Alternately, you can discuss your first choice and budget with Cindy Witkow Designs and they can help bring the two closer together.

While finalizing the design for your invitations, you will want to decide what to include in the invitation and try to make that fit your theme. Make sure you look at the proof of the invitation prior to accepting it. This way you will ensure the colors, formality and wording are all correct and that there are no inaccuracies or typos. A successful wedding invitation tells the recipient what the theme for the wedding will be, without having to tell them in writing. It also helps make the process of finding the perfect wedding invitation easier. If you have any questions or need help, Cindy Witkow Designs will be there to help you through all the steps in the process to ensure your wedding theme comes through in your invitations.
