There are many elements to consider when planning wedding invitations. From the initial Engagement Announcements and Save The Dates to Thank You Cards you will want all of the elements to coordinate and follow your theme. A good way to do this is to establish a monogram. A monogram serves as a logo or icon for the couple and can be made up of first names or simply initials. This is a great way to coordinate bridal shower, bachelor party, and bachelorette party invitations as well. At minimum a wedding invitation set needs to include the actual invitation and corresponding envelope and a response card and coordinating envelope. Other items could include Rehearsal Dinner Invitations, Maps, and Area Information Cards.
