Step 1
Start with the guest list. This can be very difficult, especially if you have lots of friends. The rule of thumb is, only invite people you have SEEN in the last 12 months. Set the number of people and try and keep close to that number. Also, decide if you want to allow kids or not. Just remember that some parents will not attend if their kids are not allowed to attend the reception.
Step 2
Once you have your guest list you can start looking at invitation ideas. There are so many ideas online, here are a few sites!

The invitations act as a “teaser” of what can be expected at the wedding. Coordinate the colour scheme of your invitations with the décor. A nice idea is to ask guests to dress in a certain colour. This make your photographs look fabulous! The best way to save money is to make the invites yourself. These days you get lovely paper, already printed with patterns and themes. All you have to do is print the info.
When making your invites, remember to make table numbers as well as a seating plan layout. You only need to make the basic background for now – the detail will come in as soon as the RSVP’s stream in. It’s also a good idea to have one notebook or pad just for invites. Keep all of your ideas together, keep track of guests and their contact details etc.
