It is always lovely to include a romantic poem on your invitations to hightlight your love for one another.  Here are a couple that we use all the time, when we are making invitations for our customers.

 ’ Together we have walked hand in hand, heart to heart we have shared with each other, one heart, one dream, one love and with love on our side we should never part.’  If space is an issue with your invitation it also sounds lovely if you finish it after ‘one love’

or

‘This day I will marry my best friend, the one I laugh with, live for, and love.’

Hope this helps

Dress codes can be tricky as there are many different interpretations of what they mean.  Many of our wedding invitations have the dress code “Semi Formal” which is usually taken to mean, that the women wear a lovely dress or skirt, not full length, and the men wear a suit and tie. 

Many people do not know this however. To combat this confusion we have been doing a lot of invitations lately that have a more funky dress code option, which we think spells out the dress requirements more clearly and sounds great. 

We have used the following and all our brides have loved it.  How about,

SHARP SUITS AND FABULOUS FROCKS or SNAPPY SUITS AND DREAMY DRESSES

Just a thought.

If you are having a wishing well at your wedding, many brides include a wishing well card with their invitation, to let their guests know that they can give a gift of money.  Something Fabulous has  pre printed wishing well cards available on line with a lovely verse that can be easily slotted in with your invitations. Follow this link  http://www.somethingfabulous.com.au/categories.asp?cID=71 

We have also found a verse that you might like to use if you want to let your guests know that if they prefer to purchase a gift it is fine as well.

If you were thinking of giving a gift to help us on our way
A gift of cash towards our new life would really make our day
However, if you prefer to purchase a gift
feel free to surprise us in your own way

Hope this helps
