Deciding on the perfect wedding invitations for your big day can sometimes be harder than it looks. You have to choose the right paper, typeface, shape and color so that it sets the tone for your nuptials. Browsing online is a great place to get inspiration for the type of invitations that you want, but it’s hard to really get a good look at every element of the invite unless you’re holding it in your hands.

Get others’ input
If you’re anything like me and are a bit indecisive at times, these free samples are a lifesaver. You can show them to your friends, family and bridal party to get their input on them. Someone may point something out about a certain piece of stationery that you never noticed before that can end up being the deciding factor.
Feel the paper
The feel of the paper on your invitations can speak to the formality and theme of your big day. By getting a feel for the stationery yourself, you can get a good idea of whether or not it’s right for your wedding. Not all paper is created equal – there are so many different types.

See the printing
Get an up-close and personal look at the printing that you’re considering for your wedding invitations. The printing you choose can have an impact on the overall feel of your invitations. If you love sparkle and shine, you may want to go with foil printing, which helps your wording shimmer. For a more modern invitation, digital printing may be the best route. This method uses high-resolution color to create vibrant invitations with intricate designs.
