Traditional & Custom Wedding Ceremonies

Once you have decided on the style for your wedding, many of the invitation issues will be relatively easy. For example, if you are having a formal wedding, you will most likely choose to have your invitations engraved. If you are feeling less traditional and/or are planning a semi-formal or informal wedding, you will most likely opt for thermography.

Engraving

Engraved invitations date to the mid 17th century. In short, copper plates are used to "engrave" the words of the invitation onto the chosen paper. The distinguishing feature of the engraved invitation is the raised lettering which can be felt as indentations on the backside of the engraved page. In addition to being the most formal and traditional printing style, engraving is, not surprisingly, also the most expensive.

Thermography

Thermography is a printing style that gives the appearance of engraving but is not quite as formal or fancy, but that is also less expensive.

Another Option

Depending on the means available to you, you may also consider having your invitations printed by computer either at a professional's shop or in your own home. This is a creative option most likely to be used for an informal wedding, but brides planning anything but the most formal wedding could also give this careful consideration.
