Paper

• Wedding invitations come in a variety of paper types. Handmade and industrial paper is often rough and uneven because it is made with hemp, cotton or plant fibers. A linen finish is a popular choice among brides and grooms, as is a matte finish, because both have a professional appeal.
  
  

Font

• A variety of fonts and writing styles are available for wedding invitations. Blind embossing raises the color of the invitation paper, and calligraphy is a perfected art of handwriting. Embossing, engraving, letterpress and thermography (raised print technology) are also options. Engraved formatting takes quite a bit of time, so invitations with this option should be ordered in advance.
  
  

Postage

• Take notice of the size of your invitation and the particular dimensions. Square invitations cost more to send than rectangular invitations.
  
  

Warnings

• Proofread your invitation multiple times to ensure dates, times and names are spelled correctly. Also, color may appear different from one computer screen to the next. Contact the online store and ask for samples of your top color choices.
