Just selected the design of our wedding invitation card with American Wedding Treasures (AWT) yesterday. In the end, we shortlisted 2 designs - a standard square sized with floral embossing on the cover (looks elegant, simplistic) & a rectangular shaped card with strong colours like red or bright yellow for us to choose from, cute stick figure couple on the cover (different from the norm). After serious consideration, we chose the former. Why not the latter? Cos my hubby pointed out that the final layout which depends on the amount of words printed on the card insert might turn out looking 'cramped', thus making it not-so-easy to read.
Had heard from other Hilton brides that AWT printing charges were higher as compared to other card printers, however, we just decided to let AWT print the card inserts for us so that we can save time on this. :P
Then comes the selection of paper to be used for the card insert, came down to 2 choices again after looking at all different types e.g. tracing paper, parchment. Plain paper OR trans-paper (sounds something like that anyway). Honestly, trans-paper looks good with the card but is more expensive. For practical reasons, we decided on plain paper as I am one who do not keep wedding invites after their wedding is over. Keke...
Up next, font selection... we went for Copperplate which is classy and matched well with the card design. As for a different font for my name & hubby's to stand out, we chose about 4 likely fonts and AWT will draft them out for us to see which one we prefer. Chinese words for the invitation, we went for Standard Kai Shu.
What we need to do now, is to decide on what is to be printed on the invitation. *headache*
