For your wedding in the Buckeye State the big day will be the ultimate reflection of your personalities and unique styles. Make sure the invites you send out to guests will do the same by designing an invitation that is fitting of the new journey on which the two of you are about to embark.

Creating a Work of Your Own

One route to take when choosing your invitations is applying your combined visions to the design process. This means you can begin by drawing out your design plan with just a simple pencil and paper. But you will also want to put together color swatches and patterns that you would like to see replicated on your invitations. You may also want to hang on to invitations that you liked from friends' weddings. These will all be helpful when meeting with your invitation designer.

You can also take the do-it-yourself approach to heart in the fullest sense by designing your invitations completely on your own. Plenty of brides and grooms are putting together their invitations by purchasing the papers, cutouts, inks and pens that are necessary to create the design of their dreams.

Choosing a Designer

If you would like to leave the invitation design completely in the hands of a professional, then here are a few Ohio designers that you may want to consider:

• Aubrennen's Invitations and Fine Stationary, Pickerington
• M. Hopple & Company, Cincinnati
• Next Chapter Designs, Cleveland
• Paper Persuasions, Cuyahoga Falls
• Pink Ink Design Group, Glendale
• Print Julep, Columbus
• Wedding Paper Divas, Nationwide
• You're Invited, Hilliard

You may also want to consider a calligrapher, like a professional from Creative Writing Design Studio in Cincinnati. These are the people that can make your invites stand out for guests.

Expressions of Gratitude

Don't forget that even after the invites have been sent out and the party is over, there are still stationary matters to which you must attend -- the thanks you notes. Yes, each one of those people who attended your wedding and made your day a special one deserve a card that expresses your gratitude. Keep this in mind when you are designing your invitations. It may be an ideal time to make wedding paper products a one stop shop, taking care of invites and thank yous all at once. Consider bringing to your thank yous some of the elements you included in your invitations, giving guests one last reminder of the highlights of your big day.

The Last Touches

Fancy ribbons, photos, stamps, and even eco-friendly, recycled paper can help make your invitations a mirror of the image you have created as a couple. When your guests open your invites, you want them to feel like they are seeing a true representation of the two of you and the united couple you have come. And, of course, you want them to be excited!
