Valentine Day Etiquette
Posted on Thursday, October 22nd, 2009 at 11:14 pm
Wedding invitations simply do not start and end with the actual invitations. A properly prepared wedding invitation has many key elements to it including card stock, ink color, formality, and last but not least, two envelopes. Choosing the correct envelope should not be overlooked as it sets the initial impression of your upcoming wedding.
The wedding invitation envelopes are going to be the absolute first thing prospective guests see when they receive your wedding invitations in the mail. Due to this first impression there are several key things you should consider before ordering your wedding envelopes. First, you should choose envelopes that are tasteful and possibly reflect the color or theme of the wedding. Since many envelopes come in all kinds of shapes, sizes, and designs, it’s important to consider the invitation as a whole as well, not simply trying to isolate each aspect and designing it piece by piece.
There is a vast selection of wedding invitation styles and themes as well as their counterpart envelopes. Most invitations are the normal square or rectangle design, however a new popular design emerging is know as pochette. A pochette has a square shape and folding tabs on each side. These tabs fold in to create the envelope. With an array of colors to choose from consider matching the envelope to the bouquet color of your wedding. Another idea is to pick a color that reflects the time or the theme of the wedding. For instance, if your wedding were going to take place on Valentine’s Day, you may want to use red or pink as the dominant color throughout the wedding invitation. If you are going for traditional appeal, consider an envelope made of parchment paper. Parchment often features a deckled look around the edges which is something that resembles a torn edge. It helps your invitation appear to be handmade.
When addressing your wedding invitations, etiquette almost demands that they are hand addressed. While printed address labels are becoming popular as well as having printing companies print them on the envelopes for you, those who are perfectionists about proper etiquette will say that hand addressing them will always be the best thing to do. Most envelopes are part of a package deal put together by printers but many offer upgrades to the package as well. You may feel that you’d like some form of lining in your envelopes for instance. Most printers are willing to work with you to create the perfect package but be forewarned that changes usually equate to additional charges.
what is the current etiquette surrounding Valentines Day...is the recipient of a card/letter not supposed t...
....to be aware of the identity/feelings of the sender towards them? or does that no longer apply?
do married couple freely trespass on this, the holy day for singletons [ and in doing so, merely demonstrate how utterly lacking in romance, their relationships really are!]
is sending a card on V.Day...no longer just for people who are wanting to get romantic with someone who is not aware of their feelings for them?
The card companies want everyone to get involved, tis how they make their money, they did invent it after-all!
