When I got married, I thought that coming up with the wedding announcements for the various local newspapers was going to be the hardest thing. Neither my husband nor I are very good with words and we weren’t even sure what to include!  But we managed to get something down on paper and even got it into the paper in plenty of time.  I figured that the need for written word was over and I could concentrate on the fun stuff, like my dress and shoes.

Was I ever wrong!  I completely forgot about the wedding invitations.  Even though I had picked them out already, having decided to go with frangipani wedding invitations that matched out centerpieces, I still needed to either come up with the wording myself or pick from several standardize sayings. A lot of the pre-made invites were very formal and old fashion in wording, and since ours were very contemporary wedding invitations it made more sense to come up with our own wording.  Fortunately I had a friend who helped us with this as we were both at a loss as to what needed to be included.  We finally got it right and were able to get them all printed in time.  Thankfully we didn’t have to write our own wedding vows or we might never have gotten married!
