Everyone has a story to tell, right? Certainly some stories are more interesting than others, but whatever that story may be, it got the people in it to where there are now. One of my favorite questions to ask a client who is planning a wedding is, “How did you meet your fiancé?” I want to hear their story. That story can reflect so much about the people involved and can even be eye opening to them as they look back on their journey to their engagement and the dreams they have for their wedding day and their lives together in the future.
The wedding invitation pictured here tells the story of how Jill and Matt met and offers a great deal of information about their courtship and how they ended up together. When I came across this on the Internet I couldn’t resist sharing! It is fun, it is different, it tells a story, it breaks tradition and the happy couple is even from Delaware (my home state!)
When planning a wedding it is important that every aspect of the wedding – including the invitation – reflects the style and personality of the bride and groom. And in some cases, the invitation may tell a story – a very important story. Ask yourself a lot of questions when planning your wedding and figure out exactly what you want to say to the people you invite to share in your joyous celebration. Simple, traditional wedding invitations will never go out of style. They can be lovely and elegant – and give all the necessary facts; however, we no longer live in a simple and traditional world. So I encourage my clients to ‘think outside the box’ and to tell their story. It is probably a great story that is worth sharing.
