Poor William and Kate, they have so much to contend with. They have the
world’s press watching their every move and every arrangement of their
wedding being picked over. Whenever some issue is raised some spokesman
is wheeled out to give a response. I’m sorry some of these spokesman
really don’t seem to know how ridiculous they appear.
No one can really understand why no royal wedding invitations were
issue to the two most recent Prime Ministers. So first off we have a
spokesman saying “It’s not a state occasion”. Yes we know that, but stop
trying to pretend that it’s a normal family wedding – it isn’t. A
different spokesman explained that the former PMs weren’t invited
because ”they are not Knights of the Garter.” That doesn’t really
explain why you wouldn’t invite them and at previous royal weddings they
have been invited regardless. But then this evening another spokesman
was wheeled out to give the most ridiculous statement yet. “William and
Catherine don’t know Tony Blair or Gordon Brown” the woman intoned.
Perhaps Wills and Kate don’t know either Tony Blair or Gordon Brown,
but don’t tell me they are intimate with the ambassadors of Zimbabwe or
Syria, so why would they take precedence over former Prime Ministers.
Really whoever is pulling the royal or political strings have got
themselves in a real and unnecessary muddle. I have no idea whether it
was a deliberate snub or an accidental one, but it certainly appears to
be a snub. A bit of me wickedly thinks that the Blairs weren’t sent one
of the sought after royal wedding invitations because of Cherie’s
refusal to curtsey to the Queen.
I wonder if the Blairs or the Browns actually mind, not that we will
ever know. I also wonder how many well known are not so well known
people are miffed because an invite wasn’t pushed through their
letterbox. People might pretend that they’re not interested in class or
royalty, but to miss out on one of the social events of the year is
probably a bit galling. Anyone who is upset that they missed out, know
that it’s likely to be some time before any more royal wedding
invitations are sent out. I can’t see Harry hurrying up the aisle for a
couple of years yet.
It’s fascinating that so many royal wedding invitations were sent out
to ordinary people. You can imagine many of those people will be invited
to lots of dinners among their own friends for many years to come. It
will take the “I was there” to quite a different level .

Best Destination Wedding Invitations
Trying to figure out how to get your designer wedding gown halfway across the world? Do you need a college degree to slog through the marriage laws of that quaint island nation? There's no question that it can be challenging to plan a destination wedding. This guide will make the process a little easier by providing unique ideas for destination wedding invitations as well as tips for creating the perfect invite.
* Whether you're headed to a romantic European city or an exotic beach locale, destination wedding invitations can create a celebratory mindset for your guests. Headed to Venice? Use an image of a gondola or Piazza San Marco to get your guests in the mood for the romance of the city--and your ceremony. Online wedding specialists also offer destination-themed stationery designed to look like American passports. Imagine how excited and honored family and friends will be to receive one of these special and unique invitations.
*There's nothing quite like a theme destination wedding. Is the happiest day of your life going to be at the happiest place on earth--Disney? Send invites in the shape of Mickey's iconic head or envelopes printed with your favorite characters. Maybe you're marrying your knight in shining armor at a renaissance event? Consider an invitation rolled up like a royal scroll. Wherever you're headed for the ceremony, the most important part of theme destination wedding invitations is to let guests know how much fun they're going to have. Theme wedding invites are easy to find through online wedding stationery printers.
*If guests will be digging their toes in the sand, you'll want destination-inspired invites that convey the special feel of lakeside or oceanside nuptials. Is a casual ceremony your style? Think about using colorful sandal motifs or playful dolphin images. Online wedding stationery suppliers even offer invites shaped like beach umbrellas. Invitation images or designs for more formal beachside nuptials might include gentle sunsets or ocean vistas.
*The sky's the limit when it comes to destination wedding invitations for Las Vegas ceremonies. Elvis silhouettes. Slot machines. Roulette wheels. Since "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" let your imagination run wild when choosing wedding invitation ideas. Don't let that imagination run too wild though. Try to avoid off-color or suggestive Sin City invites--while it might seem like a fun and funny idea now, you might not want your elderly grandma to get her hands on one.
Once you've chosen which wedding invitation ideas you'll use, remember these two simple tips:
Tip #1: Planning a destination wedding can be a handful, so look for wedding invitation ideas from an online specialist who offers a range of selections, making it easy for you to click and choose your way to the perfect invite.
Tip #2: Even elementary school spelling champs can be stumped by foreign city names and locales. Triple-check unfamiliar spellings so you don't end up inviting guests to Pizza, Italy instead of Pisa, Italy.

Choose Classic Wedding Invitations
There are many types of wedding invitations to choose from when planning a wedding. Before making your decision, consider the type of wedding that you are having. This can dictate whether a classic style invitation is right for you or if you should use another style. There are several situations where classic wedding invitations are used. The most common is for a wedding that is taking place in a church or another type of formal ceremony.
Classic wedding invitations look like they are quite old fashioned. Most of the time, they come on one sheet of paper, without any folds. They are often in an envelope with a sheet of tissue paper, and usually have one or two colors. The background is usually white or off white, and the color of the printing is a dark color. There is usually a boarder, and the wedding invitation has important information about the wedding on the inside. This information consists of who is getting married and the time and place where the ceremony is being held. Classic wedding invitations are usually all the same general size, and they have a very formal and traditional tone to them. However, the colors and borders can be customized. It is also possible to customize the text on the invitation to make it your own.
When to Go Classic
There are several situations where a classic wedding invitation is the best choice. If you are very religious, and the biggest factor in your wedding is going to be the traditional, religious aspect of it, you may enjoy having the classic wedding invitation more than you would enjoy having a different, more contemporary wedding invitation. If you are inviting many people who have very traditional values, and you want to make the traditional values into what is most important in your wedding, you may also prefer to choose the traditional and classic wedding invitation.
You want to make sure that your wedding follows this traditional theme after your choice of invitations. This is important because it can help you make sure that you are on track for a formal celebration right from the start. Often the more classic and traditional wedding invitations are the best way to show right from the start that you are planning a traditional and formal wedding. If you are not planning a traditional wedding, it is still possible to use this formal invitation. Although it may not match the exact theme of your wedding, the invitations are very simplistic and you are sure to find one that works well.
When to Choose another Option
Even though there are plenty of reasons that you might want to choose classic wedding invitations, there are also some times where that style is not the best choice. If your wedding is very informal, a classic wedding invitation just is not going to match the theme or setting of your wedding.
Many times, traditional afternoon weddings, followed by evening dinners and receptions do well with the classic wedding invitation. However, weddings that are in the morning, with afternoon receptions, or weddings that are in the early evening with late night receptions are ceremonies that might benefit from a different type of wedding invitation. You have to use your best judgment and ask yourself if a traditional wedding invitation is really the best style for your ceremony.
In addition, if you are having a destination wedding, you probably do not want to go with the classic wedding invitation. A destination wedding is a great time to explore different possibilities when it comes to choosing this type of event , so you want to be sure that you are leaving your options open for the type of wedding invitation that you want to send out. A destination wedding in another location such as the beach, or a different country, may call for a more creative wedding invitation rather than a classic wedding invitation. In this case, you may want something that is the color of the ocean or a landmark of the country where the wedding is taking place. These are just a few informal ceremony ideas where a traditional themed wedding invitation would not work as well.

Traditional Wedding Invitations OR Modern
When speaking of choosing proper wedding stationery,various so called specialists may start to speak volubly. While when it is our own turn to pick wedding cards, we will find it quite difficult to put those written experience into practice. For modern people, the most popular style may be the traditional style and the modern one. When various brides face with those options, they may get easily to fall into dilemma. Today I want to talk about the choice between modern and traditional wedding invitations. I will do my best to avoid boring preaching,furthermore, I will also want to interactive with my dear readers in order that we can come into terms on the issue.
Before you undertake the preparation job, one of the most knotty problems you should take into consideration is that what kind of ambience would you like for the big day. A classical solemn royalty event or a modern agile party? The difference lies in that for traditional event, you should pay great attention to the custom and you should follow various rules, however, for a modern event,the wedding ceremony may not be as cockamamie as the traditional event. The atmosphere is rather comfortable and you can enjoy full freedom.
Another thing you should consider is that would you like to add some unique elements to your wedding invitation. You know, the traditional style is famous for its classic form so that the wedding invitation will hardly make any mistakes. But the disadvantage is quite obvious as well because the traditional card are quite inflexible.
But for modern ones, you can achieve the uniqueness quite easily because no matter in the aspect of color scheme or in the terms of design, the modern wedding invitation features more creation.Essentially,the innovation will lead to a quite publicized visual effect. That will surely bring a hit to your nerves.
Okay,after you have think of those two problems, you can go on with the process. The traditional wedding cards are usually quite simple.Typically, they are single-sided, that means they will not feature such structure as a greeting card. Your Personalized information will be printed on the cover of the wedding card which will leave a straightforward impression on the invitees. While for modern wedding invitations, as the development of printing technology and crafting techniques, they may be quite dazzling. Compared with the traditional flat cards, there are folded, pocket fold,three fold style available. To the crafting,bronzing, embossing and pressing and lazy cut will make those designs more brilliant. In general, traditional wedding cards are more proficient in creating a classic and sophisticated touch, so the designer prefer to use cream,ivory and colors like that in their design. But for the modern wedding cards, they always represent a kind of vitality.
Making a choice between traditional and modern wedding invitations need you to pay more patience.The key lies in what you plan and what the wedding invitations will bring. Find the harmony between your own desire and the actual needs, you will achieve the success.
