How To Be Creative:
We recommend a customized card with a modern twist. Like how about a picture of both of you with a hint of maple leaves here and there and a pinecone motif. A simple card in rustic tones will also do good to the purpose and seasonal theme as well.

Be clear about you as a couple and it should be designed keeping in view the wedding theme. If you’re hosting a fall wedding, then you’ll want invites that speak the woodsy charm and botanical accents that rustic invitations often have to offer.

7. Wedding Guest Book
After your wedding and honeymoon is over, you get to pour over wedding pictures and read the thoughtful notes in your guest book. Unfortunately, not much is written in this book as the guests are little or not interested in this part of the wedding.

Finding it difficult to get well-wishers as guests? Go for a dramatic display like a verdant wreath that is adorned with chartreuse santini mums and tiny bows. Do not forget to keep colorful pencils nearby in a cup.
