Online Wedding Invitations Ordering Made Easy

Many couples are now choosing to do online wedding invitations shopping taking advantage of the convenience of the internet.  In addition to there being benefits to buying your wedding invites online, there are helpful tips to make your shopping a smooth experience.

Wedding planning overall can be hectic so these pointers should help ease the online wedding invitations process.

• Start Early– Shop and order early to accommodate regular shipping time and avoid paying rush charges.
• Testimonials – Review the website for positive reviews from previous customers, the more the better.
• Contact Information – Make sure the retail website you are ordering from lists contact or customer service information, especially a phone number in case you have questions or concerns.
• Product Images – Look for the option to enlarge or zoom in on each individual wedding invitation image.  This will let you see design features and coloring up close.
• Descriptions - Read them carefully for specific details about the paper and design colors since colors may appear differently on your computer than in reality.  Also be aware of what exactly is included in the invitation price and what you may need to purchase separately.  If any customer assembly is required, this should also be listed.
• Samples – Even if there may be a small charge involved and they are not personalized, consider ordering samples of your favorite online wedding invitations designs so you can see them up close to narrow down your selections.
• Proof - Carefully inspect all information that will be printed on your wedding invitations AND have another person also proof before your order is finalized.  You may be able to forward an online proof to family and friends via email.
• Extras - Order a few extra invitations to prevent running out and having to order only a few more later which can be costly.  If offered, also purchase a few more envelopes to allow for addressing errors.
• Ordering – Include everything you will need when placing your online wedding invitations order to save on separate shipping costs later.  Even though some of these items are not included with your actual invites, they may be necessary before, during or after your wedding so why not order them all at the same time to save time and money.  Depending on your wedding, additional items to order may include response cards, reception cards, thank you cards, direction or map cards,menu cards, table cards, place cards, even rehearsal invitations if you already know all those details.

As you probably already know, there are many online wedding stationery retailers so be sure to do some comparison shopping when it comes to styles and designs as well as pricing and customer comments.  Keeping in mind the tips listed here while you are shopping and finalizing your online wedding invitations purchase will keep you on the right track for a successful buying experience.
