Step 2. Do Research & Design A Plan

Now that you, as a couple, have decided on a dream that’ll be perfect according to both of you, it is time to design an outline that’ll help you out with the entire process. Here you’ll also have to consider all the cost that the Wedding invitations will endure and set up a budget accordingly.

It is important that you start maintaining a file with all the inspirations. You'll have to decide on the things like, how much of customisation you want in the colours, fonts, different patterns and the type of paper which will be used to carry all the beautiful wedding invitation wordings.

Step 3. Look For A Designer

When looking for a designer, I would suggest that you keep aside all the research you have done for personalized wedding invitations and walk in with an open mind. Go ahead and examine their work and discuss your ideas on them.

You’ll need to check here that if they are listening to you intently and if their ideas are compatible with your thinking process. If you liked any of their work from the past, then talk about it. If anytime you feel like their examples and style are not compatible with what you want then it’s better to walk out. Don't rush the process as finding someone who really understands your vision is really important.

Step 4. Choose A Colour Palette

Remember the file I told you to start maintaining in one of the above steps while doing the research, now it’s time to refine all those inspirations. The wedding colours are something that runs through every strand of your wedding planning.

You’ll need to decide on how you want to incorporate all the different colours. You can choose a coloured paper, a coloured font or even go for colourful motifs. You can also decide on the combination of all the three. Whatever you decide, see to it that all the colours when come together look pleasing. Don’t just assume that the aquamarine font will look equally embellishing on white as it does on cream.

Step 6. Decide On The Design Elements

Deciding on the design elements or motifs that’ll really make your wedding card unique is really important. Do you want your wedding monogram or any other symbol to be included throughout the celebrations? If, yes then it should be a part of your personalised wedding invitation too.

Step 7. Discuss The Printing Process
