How to Choose Paper for your Wedding Invitations

If you're creating wedding invitations for your clients or you're making a wedding invitation for your own wedding, you know that a wedding is one of the most memorable events of everyone's life. Thus it is essential to use a high quality paper for your wedding invitations to make it the best. Go to an art store, craft store, Paper Company, or copy stores to begin your search. With the use of personal computers and e-commerce, specialty paper can be found in many online stores today.

Here are some useful tips:
  • Select a paper based on your theme of wedding. Example: for a fall wedding, use a leaf theme.
  • Keep within your budget. Some papers are very expensive, so shop around to find the best deals.
  • Purchase extra paper for mistakes and last minute invitees.
  • Make sure the line of paper is in stock and not on clearance.
  • If available, coordinate matching envelopes with paper selection.
  • Always use a heavy stock for the single layer invitation or for the bottom sheet of any layered invitation.
  • Shop in bulk for discount prices.
  • Use a light weight paper for the top layers, belly bands or wraps.
  • Look for paper that comes in 8.5" x 11" size. This is a standard size paper that you can feed through your personal printer.
