Your Perfect Invitations by GreenerMe - Series Post 1 of 5 - Organization and Time Management

Welcome to a new five-part series I’ve developed just for you called, “Your Perfect Invitations”. Every Wednesday from June 1st to June 29th I will post a new blog full of special tips, tricks, advice and other goodies all based on helping you pick out the perfect paper goods for your wedding. And if you stick around for the end, there might just be a special treat for you, my lovely readers, so be sure to keep coming back each week to see what I have up my sleeve! Now, let’s get on to the good stuff!

Paper goods seem to be the last thing people think about when planning their wedding, but it is actually a very important part of the event! Your invitations set the tone for your big day and will be your guests first glimpse at your big day; some might even decline to attend based solely on the invitation they receive! My advice: Do your homework! With a little knowledge, you can pick out paper goods that are perfect for you and your fiancé’s personality, style and theme. I promise it will be time well spent and your guests will be excited at the wonderful wedding they plan to attend!

This week I want to cover two very important topics you’ll want to review before setting out in the search of your perfect invitations: organization and time. The invitation process is actually really easy so long as you have your little duckies in a row before setting out on your search. To get started, you’ll want to organize all your information (names, addresses) and paper good needs (invitations, RSVPs, accommodation cards, map cards, programs, table cards, etc) into one spot for easy review. I highly recommend plugging your names and address into Excel or a similar computer program so you can easily update the information, make notes and also keep track of who has RSVP’d or not. It’s also easy to share the file should a family member, friend or your invitation designer need it (most of us can print the address information right on your envelopes, which is a big time saver!). In addition to a good address list, you’ll want to decide what paper goods you need. The basic needs are usually and invitation and response card but there is so much more! Head on over to my blog to see the rest of the post!
