Wedding Anniversary Invitations

You're going to need some wedding anniversary invitations if you're celebrating your anniversary. The type of invitations you choose will depend on the type of party you're having and the number of years you've been married. With the numerous options available, it's no surprise that it's difficult to find invitations that suit your needs, but have you really thought about what your needs might be?

Types of invitations

When you look in the high street shops for anniversary invitations, the selection of preprinted anniversary invites can be rather limited. 

It's no surprise really, when most couples look for invitations that match their anniversary meaning, especially when it comes to the big years such as silver, ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries. Therefore, most of the wedding anniversary invitations are simply quite plain.

To get a design that's related to the year of your wedding anniversary, you'd have to go to the expense of getting social stationery printed, which can of course be expensive. With this route though, you can choose a pre-designed invitation or get a design made up especially. You could get an illustration of the two of you or something that represents the meaning of your anniversary incorporated into the design, which would make a terrific memento of the occasion.

Specially printed invitations or social stationery, are perfect for a formal party and those larger celebrations, but can end up being very expensive due to printing costs, especially if your guest list is large.

Most anniversaries are a little more informal with family and close, long term friends around. It's all about a celebration of your life together, how you've grown and the family you've created around you. A simple, informal wedding anniversary invitation is perfect for this.

Anniversary Invitation Wording

Another big consideration is the wording of your invitations. This very much depends on the type of celebration you're having. A formal party should invite guests with the appropriate wording as the invitation will set the tone of the event and give an indication as to what to wear.  A more casual affair can be written informally, use jokes, funny poems or other humour.

So what is the appropriate language for a formal invitation? Well, you can find out more about that here as well as get some tips on how to add make your invitations upbeat and informal.
