This is the inevitable truth: “The right questions before marriage determine the right success within marriage.”

Choosing the correct 100 questions before marriage will depend on each person because everyone has a different point of view of what we call relationships.

We can compare this by saying that many people “might not see marriage as a beautiful experience if they just been through a divorce, the same way that many cannot see divorce as a harsh experience if they’re just getting married.”

Individuals will choose their questions and answers depending on their experiences, and these experiences are what going to determine what they believe is correct or incorrect. Depending on each individual’s background is what going to determine their 100 questions before marriage.

However, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not everyone is entitled to their own fact. The same way that everyone has their own truth about marriage and relationships, but not everyone has the correct universal truth about both. The universal truth itself can be recognized by perfection because imperfection leads to disorder, chaos, and the unstable way of living life.

Not everybody believes that marriage and relationships are meant to be perfect, for if they did, this world would be a different yet better place. There would be no divorce, no infidelity, no venereal diseases, no abortion, etc. The world will indeed change, if the perspective of those who ignore the truth change. The truth itself is ignored because those who know about the truth find it difficult to put into practice.

A good example is the following:

Many couples in premarital relationships know that abstinence can prevent a large number of possible consequences that can drastically change the life of three human beings (the two people involved in the situation, and the possible child that come as a result of the same). However, not everyone puts abstinence into practice because they find it very hard to stay away from lust, physical attraction and fleshly desire.

So, what are the most important 100 questions before marriage?

The only way that we can identify these questions is through knowledge, and knowledge itself can come from learning. Learning can be acquired through personal experience, literature, and the life of other people. Being able to have an open mind and not only focusing on what we believe is correct will indeed open our eyes to the real world of what is truth. The truth itself will let us know what are the correct 100 questions before marriage.

At times there are just too many problems in a marriage for a couple to continue to living together in the usual “married” fashion. If you and your spouse have reached this point, but you’re not ready to give and divorce, a separation can provide you with the chance to rebuild your relationship and your trust in each other.

TAKE YOUR TIME
Your first instinct after a separation may be to try to get back together and back to normal as quickly as possible. But don’t rush–taking things slowly and carefully is the best thing you can do toward rebuilding your marriage. Give yourself and your spouse time to really come to grips with the underlying issues you have with each other and to figure out lasting solutions to these problems. If you’re in too much a hurry to just get back together and decide to just bury some of these issues, you risk setting yourselves up for more trouble down the road.

KEEP IT CASUAL

When you and your spouse spend time together during a separation, don’t spend all of your hashing out arguments and addressing weaknesses in your marriage. Think back to when the two of you first met and fell in love, and recreate those feelings by doing the fun things you used to enjoy together. You’ll start to see each other in that exciting light you once did instead of as a spouse you’ve been arguing with and doing all that mundane stuff like chores and errands with for years. This will be enormously helpful in injecting a fresh, healthy new life into your marriage.

AVOID FINGER-POINTING AND HOSTILITY

Blame and hostility are the two most powerful enemies against a marriage. Even if you both want to get back together, if the two of you can’t refrain from finger-pointing and bringing up past offenses, your marriage is doomed. You may know for certain your spouse was in the wrong and deserves the blame–don’t do it. Instead, focus on your future together by resolving issues and forgiving each other for the pain you’ve caused one another. Commitment and positive thinking are the best ways to get your relationship back on track and maybe even stronger than ever.

If you and your spouse are separated, don’t lose hope. Sometimes it just takes being away from someone for a little while to realize how much we want to with them.

Many women have a “missing piece” which is deeply tied to feelings of not being good enough – not being able to measure up to the expectation of others or self, not being pretty enough, not being a good enough spouse or mother, etc. Feelings such as these lead a woman to see herself in a false light. A woman’s self-esteem then falls by the wayside.

Let’s look at a woman’s heart. As a woman, your heart is at the center of who you are. It is the source of all of your creativity and conviction — the very essence of your being. Your heart is what makes you the crowning jewel of creation! You are hard-wired to have certain desires in your heart which have been set there since birth. As an example, one of these desires might be to be seen as captivating or alluring. Another might be to play a vital role in the life of another.

Few women seem to actually realize such desires. Many deal with the disappointments that result by either hiding out or indulging. It’s often easier to do this than to face the pain felt deep inside. But your questions remain: Am I wanted? Am I captivating to anyone? Am I worthwhile?

I believe that we are all meant to experience lives of joy and fulfillment. However, the desires of a woman’s heart and the way her life actually is are usually miles apart.

The truth is that every woman is someone whom the world desperately needs! Take a look at the creation story. First came the skies, waters, trees, animals, man, and, finally, woman…the crowning jewel. Talk about significance!

Every woman has beauty to unveil.Your beauty doesn’t come from a hair dresser or a plastic surgeon.It was given to you when you were created.

Chances are that you’ve lost sight of your beauty, your gifts, your desires or your purpose. You give so much of yourself to the caring of others that you forget to - or don’t feel that you have the “right” to - care for yourself. You may think that the amount of time you give in caring for others is noble. On one hand, it is. Let me tell you, though, that on the other hand it is not.
In neglecting self care and the occasional indulgence, you are actually short-changing those to whom you devote yourself. You are not able to give them your best because you are not AT your best. Both for their sakes and for yours, you must learn to avoid believing the story in your head that causes you to feel guilty about taking time for YOURSELF.

What Can You Do?

1. Accept responsibility.
Another person is not responsible for your happiness nor can they make you feel less than the woman who you are – the woman that the world desperately needs.
2. Distance yourself from those who are neither loving nor supportive.
Certainly, work to heal and strengthen all your relationships, but avoid those who drag you down. We are here to build each other up, not to tear each other down. Practice loving others AND loving yourself! Know that YOU are loved. Let it sweep over you and fill you up. Be grateful for it. Practicing gratitude is very important.
3. Realize that nothing is constant.
This goes for life and relationships as well as personal development. If you are not moving forward, you are moving backward. You are either living or dying.
4 Take time to recall past accomplishments - things that made you feel good about
yourself, what you did or how you did something. If you did it before, you can do it
again!
5. Find a mentor and model the things you see in them that appeal to you.
6. Change the way you think and the things you believe - the stories that incessantly play themselves over and over in your head. This mental noise is only “make believe.” The stories are not true!

Bolstering your self esteem and coming to believe (to know!) that you are the crowning jewel of creation does not happen by magic – it takes work. I promise you, though, that when you get “there,” it will feel like magic. It all starts with making a decision to change your internal programming and your results. The choice is YOURS. And YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Remember the words from an old song…

“Be sure it’s true when you say I love you, it’s a sin to tell a lie”.

The concept of “sin” has lost its meaning for many in our modern era, and even “love” has lost a significant portion of its importance.

If you still believe in “falling in love” then you will realize how difficult it is to say, “I love you” in a meaningful way. Three little words that can change your life forever. The words, themselves, have lost their meaning because of overuse, especially when it’s not really true. Everybody says them, for many different reasons, even if they don’t mean them.

However, when you really want tell your partner of your love it’s such a hard decision to make for many reasons. Will your partner return your love? Will your partner simply accept your declaration with indifference? Will he or she feel threatened? It is such a common problem that even “The Seinfeld Show” had an episode on it.

So make it easy on yourself and plan the declaration so that as much as possible you eliminate the problems. The first step, of course, is to be certain you really are in love. If you so enjoy being with your partner that you want to be with him or her to the exclusion of all others, if you think of him or her every day when you are apart, you are probably in love. If you have even a small doubt you should wait a little longer.

If you are certain then plan a special occasion for it. Make it a significant moment in your life - one to remember with fondness for your whole life. Arrange an intimate dinner at your favorite restaurant and make it as romantic as you can. Give him or her a small gift because you love being with them, or you are so glad that you met them.

After dinner while holding your partner intimately gaze intently into their eyes and say, “I love you so much it hurts when we are apart. I hope that we can stay together forever”.

Do not be disappointed if your partner does not return your declaration. They may not yet be ready and might need more time to state their feelings. Continue to share with your partner the highs and lows of your partner’s life. Care for your partner’s happiness and be on guard to protect his happiness.

Under no circumstances should you ever ask your partner, “Do you love me”?

Your wedding day is an exciting time of life. Weddings are so important in our lives, not to mention, an event in our life that should never be forgotten. There are so many things that go on before a wedding that when it finally comes to the wedding day and then poof, its over in an instant. Don’t forget your cherished memories anymore!

Wedding Videography is the new Photography. Videographing your wedding day is so important. Keep in mind that videos will capture special little moments on your wedding day, long after you have forgotten those moment’s years later. Videography helps you to document your memories in a beautiful way. Now days, Videographers are committed to creating cinematic style films with top of the line crystal clear video cameras to preserve your wedding day. Videographers take the wedding day footage and set it to music for a romantic, fun, and unforgettable film of your beautiful day.

While still getting an image of your special day, it is in video form and wonderfully stimulating to watch. Personalities, movements, dancing, etc. all captured the way it is meant to be. Choosing the style, music, theme of your video is so fun. Videographers are highly creative genius’s that have learned to go the extra mile to make sure that the film is styled to you and you’re significant others style and taste.

So many weddings where emotional toasts have been spoken, choreographed dances have been danced to, and where surprises have been found, each time the bride and groom say, “Oh wow! I am so glad I caught that on video!” Filming your wedding is so important. Those beautiful words that are spoken at the ceremony and the emotion felt behind those words, are truly something that should be remembered for a lifetime. Remembering it as if you were there in person is so much more memorable than a Photograph.

Videography is the new thing in the Wedding industry. Actually, there are more needs for Videographers right now then there are Wedding Videographers to go around. It is become so popular. Because of this make darn sure that you schedule your Videographer before for plan anything else for your wedding. You’ll be glad you did.

Some other fun things to consider while planning your Wedding, and if you’re planning to have a Wedding Videographer present, are making sure that you do not let your ceremony run after the sun sets. Camcorders are very different from camera in the fact that cameras have flashes and can be used in the dark. Camcorder do not have a flash and acts more like an eyeball, continually running and can only open the “pupil” so much, just like our eyes. If an evening ceremony is necessary, just make sure you do it at sun down, not letting the time run over to darkness. That will make you’re video much more beautiful.

Also remember, that if planning to have a Videographer there, it would be really awesome to had a choreographed first dance. Newlyweds that I know that had decided to that are really happy they did! It makes the video just that much more memorable.

Love Is A Emotional Roller Coaster.
What is more thrilling to the ear then the sound of, “I Love You”? Songs are written about it, movies excite our senses as lovers stroll into the sunset. Tears dribble down our cheek as our children peer into our eyes and say, “ I love you.” The heart flutters and it feels as if it will jump into the mouth, the first time a true love is kissed.

It’s said, love makes the world go round, but does it really? Is it real or just a fantasy?

People Don’t Know How To Act.
People are expected to respond in a certain way where love in involved. We see advertisements, movies, hear lyrics and read stories of love. But wait, how does a person know if it is love or just physical attraction? Is our senses being duped? Are we subjects of the merchants and social expectancy? Let’s face it, people can procreate and rear children without the help of love.

Keep On Walking When Love Comes A knocking
When does one fall in love, at first sight, after a courting period or after the commitment speech? In today’s world, in the United States, couples choose to live together, have children but not commit to marriage. The traditional family, as we knew it in past years is in danger of extinction. The family unit has become so fractured that we can’t define it anymore. And love . . . where has it gone? What value does it have? How does one explain its emotion?

Finding a mate has become commercialized through Internet dating services, speed dating and personal columns in newspapers. Has love been reduced to social clubs and Internet social websites? Then there are the enhanced products for people to improve their appearance. What a deception, there are no guarantees of what you see is what you get.

What Is Acceptable?
Now it’s acceptable by many people to have a “close encounter” on the first date. No getting to know you, just dating for pleasure. There is no substance in today’s courting process. Maybe its my age speaking, but I believe, “today’s deviations are tomorrows norms.” If you don’t believe it just look around at the progression of human behavior over the past fifty years. I can hear you know. “We don’t to be old fashion.” You’re right. Cars, airplanes, TVs and microwave ovens are great and to own them is fashionable. Human relations has not changed, people are the same now as they were yesteryear.

The Meaning Of Love Is Lost
Love used to mean something. There was a certain excitement in knowing someone loved you and you loved them. You looked forward to seeing your love after a day’s work. Our Nation was built on family values and love of freedom. Now, no more values, morals, and freedom . . . well, it’s taken for granted.

It’s Only A Hollywood Production
Love is a fantasy in the minds of Hollywood, a way to cash in on human emotion. The quest for love sells product and keeps candles lit restaurants in business. A lovers moon is only a symbolism in romance books. We look for it, we are broken hearted when it doesn’t happen and the bars are full of those who lost it.

I’m beginning to believe is not only a fantasy it is a travesty. People kill, commit suicide, rob banks and die of broken hearts all in the name of love.

Pure Love Is Not Forgotten
So love, the purest emotion to humans has suffered the same fate as morals, values and trust. They have all become yesterdays old fashion ideology. Now people fantasize about love and have forgotten how to experience the essence of it. They have become confused and don’t know what to expect of love.

Demand A New Political Correctness
Maybe one day love will regain its rightful place in the human heart. Maybe swooning will again be popular. And the White House will once again become white.

Relationships, there are so many different situations, so many possibilities. Before there can be a relationship the two parties have to concede. That’s right, a one sided relationship is not a relationship at all, it’s a speculation.

Imagine if you could read what your mate is thinking and quietly come to a compromising agreement before any conflict arose. What would you discover when you looked into his/her mind, maybe you wouldn’t want to know.

Women want men to think like them and men, well men want to be mothered. Listen ladies, haven’t you ever heard a man say, “my wife just doesn’t understand me?”

Do any of the following scenarios sound familiar?
A. You think everything is going along fine, and all at once he/she says, “I feel smothered, I need more space.” What do you say? Is there any hope for reconciliation? Maybe you were “lost in love,” and you were just living a “love fantasy”. You keep asking “what happened? What did I do wrong?” Your relationship has just come to a abrupt end and you need to know where to go from here.

B. You have found the person you want to spend the rest of your life with but he/she is reluctant. How do you go about capturing his/her heart? What would be different if you knew the “secrets of love” and knew how to capture his/her heart?

C. You have been struggling with your relationships and have become tired of looking. You just want to know how to find your soul mate.

D. You thought you married the love of your life but your relationship has never grown to anything but mediocre. You’re feeling dejected, sad and lonely. You really want to reignite the flame you felt when you first married. You want to have your mate understand how much you care for him/her and recapture the “excitement of love”.

E. You’re single and date occasionally. For some reason the men/women you seem to attract are of questionable character. Your choice of relationships always ends up with a person who is vague and has a fear of commitment. You ask yourself, “am I to pushy?”

Is There Anywhere You Can Go For Advice That Actually Works?
Because all relationship advice is third party, it tends to be iffy at best and not suitable in your situation. In fact, most relationship advice is biased and slanted toward the gender giving it. A female advisor may say, “men are too focused on short-term results which renders men incapable of falling and staying in love with one woman.” While a man might say, “men seek long-term family relationships and are capable of guiding the family as a unit.”

What a bunch of hogwash.

Men seek two things, First, a good helpmate and second, a good procreator and quite frankly, he wants to trade his mother for a wife. That’s it. A man is more apt to fall in lust first and love second. His physical desire may overshadow his feeling for completeness at first but subsides as he becomes united with his mate. And a woman, well she is looking for security and a mate who will appreciate her and why not, after all she will not only be acquiring a mate but also a little boy she will have to contend with for the rest of her life. Men never grow up, they will forever be boys.

Truelove is an acquired state of mind not something that can be plucked from the air. Just because two people desire each other does not mean they are in love. Don’t worry how the other gentler thinks, think about how you and your choice fit together. Do you mesh like gears in a well greased machine? You have to fit, in mind and soul, then, given time, you will become as one.

Like every challenge there is a learning curve. A time of getting to know each other and finding out how each other react to certain touches, words, actions. One day you will wake up and realize that love has crept into your heart and that person you hardly knew, is now the center of your life. There are no bad marriages only people who didn’t think it through before marriage or are self centered and don’t want to merge with their partner.

Would you want to go through learning how the other gender thinks just so you can do what ever you have to so he/she will want to date, marry, and never want to leave you? You have to be you, no matter what. You have likes and dislikes, faults, strengths you are an individual and when you were made they broke the mold. You have to blend with your mate not change to catch him/her.

Learning the secretes of a person’s heart just so you’ll be able to give the person of your choice what he/she really wants does not mean he/she will cherish you forever. Asking someone to share your life is the biggest step you will ever make. Don’t start with a deception, be honest, and be prepared to stay the course.

Stop guessing what to do and allow nature to take its course. There are no secrets or magic incantations that will make your relationship work. Relationships and success comes from inside of the person who has placed a high enough value on it to succeed.

Let’s face it; if you’re looking for advice on marriage, you could spend DAYS researching on the internet without even scratching the surface of all the marriage advice that’s out there.

But the sad fact is, that’s what most people in your situation do…they RESEARCH…but never ACT on the concepts and ideas they learn about because they come up with “excuses” for why THEIR situation is DIFFERENT.

Well let me tell you….your situation is NOT different. And as EXTREME as MY marriage was…my “situation” was NOT different either…

So why am I qualified to give YOU advice on marriage? Because I managed to save my marriage…on my own…after 27 years of fighting, car chases and battles over her way vs. my way.

Our marriage was as bad as it gets.

You see, I married my COMPLETE OPPOSITE. In fact, you’d think we were from different planets if you compared our habits, values, priorities and temperaments… and that’s before you take into account our male/female differences….which brings me to one of the best pieces of advice on marriage that I can give you…

1. LEARN THE “5 LOVE LANGUAGES”

When I discovered this critical bit of advice on marriage, it really opened my eyes as to EXACTLY what made my wife happy. Often times we wish our spouse would treat us a certain way, but we never actually tell them what it is that we want them to do!

Gary Chapman, author of the book, The Five Live Languages, makes it easy for you to communicate what you need from your spouse to feel loved…and what they need from you!

When I found out what made my wife feel loved…I was SHOCKED!

She wanted “acts of service” of all things! I thought that since I liked “words of affirmation”…that she would too!

I hated doing “acts of service” (a.k.a. chores around the house, gardening and repairs) and that’s exactly why I wasn’t meeting her needs! I didn’t realize what I was doing wrong until I read this book.

…which reminds me…here’s another great piece of advice on marriage you need to keep in mind…

Many couples make the BIG mistake of treating their spouse the way they WISH their spouse would treat THEM!

In other words, smothering your spouse in hugs and kisses isn’t going to make him/her want to hug/kiss YOU more if what they actually need from YOU is “acts of service” like taking out the trash or cleaning the house!

If you want to improve your marriage and have your spouse meet your needs, by meeting theirs FIRST, I highly recommend this book. You can find it at: http://www.stopyourdivorcein4weeks.com/gary.html

Now I’ve never seen anyone talk about this last piece of advice on marriage, so pay close attention…

2. YOU CAN’T IMPROVE YOUR MARRIAGE UNLESS YOU FEEL LIKE IT FIRST

Many people search for the recipe for a happy marriage, in a quest for a simple LIST of things they can go do and then simply “check the items off of their list.”

But unfortunately, that’s not how REAL married life works. I could give you a long list of advice on marriage that would improve your relationship, but that list won’t do you any good. If you’re like most married couples, you won’t act on ANY advice on marriage… until you first feel like doing it FIRST.

Telling you to “go do something” to improve your marriage is NOT going to make a difference in your relationship when you resent your spouse and feel SO negative that you can’t even bring yourself to do it!

The key is actually FEELING LIKE doing something positive for your marriage…and THEN doing it.

Believe me; it’s MUCH easier to do something nice for your spouse when you’re feeling optimistic about your marriage…than it is to “force” yourself to be the first one to take a step towards a better marriage.

Now I know what you’re thinking. “How do I get to the point where I FEEL LIKE doing something to improve my marriage? I’m so frustrated with my spouse right now!”

Well, I’m glad you asked. I offer a FREE mini-course on “How to Overcome Your Negative feelings…the Moment they Appear.” If you’re at all interested, keep reading so you can get started on the mini-course right away…

Larry Bilotta’s FRE.E 7-day email course shows you how to quickly and easily eliminate your negative thoughts, STOP dwelling on your problems and START feeling better about yourself. Just go to the Marriage Advice website.

Remember how your relationship was in the very beginning?

You stayed up all night talking about everything - your dreams and desires and even the things that scare or embarrass you. But then, as the relationship went a long, you stopped talking about so much. Everything became so heavy and meaningful.

In the beginning, things were great. There was a level of trust and open communication that created intimacy and understanding. So, what happened to that? Where did it go and how can you get it back?

I used to try to protect my partner from those heavy, bad moods and ugly thoughts. I went to my room and hung out until I felt like socializing again.

I thought I was noble in my ability to control what came out of my mouth.

I thought I was kind because I never let on what I was thinking.

But what I was doing was ruining my relationships. There was no relationship. I was cutting myself off from others and never allowing them to know me. They never knew what I was thinking or feeling or needing.

I was an island. A very lonely island.

I really thought that if I let people know the ugly thoughts, not only would they be hurt - but they would probably become angry and disown me - betray me, talk shit behind my back. I would be the outcast.

So I beat them to the punch! Hah! I’d banish myself to my own room (or apartment, as I got older). I’d banish myself to silence.

You can either have a N.I.C.E. (Not Interested in Connecting Emotionally) relationship… where you hide what is true out of fear. Or you can have an alive, real relationship with intimacy, compassion and understanding.

Some people withhold from their partner and add an extra zinger — they put on a show of pain and discomfort in order to punish them. It’s an effort to communicate just how much pain they’re in. But none of it’s verbalized. It’s a show of the pain.

When you start keeping secrets and withholding,.. when you cut off the sharing of life force between you,… you’re cutting off the intimacy in your relationship. Even if you think you’re protecting your partner from painful or embarrassing thoughts - it’s still destroying your relationship.

Relationships require sharing… both our dreams and desires along with our doubts and fears.

What are you feeling and what needs of yours are being met or not? …

I’m happy because my need for support in keeping our home is being met.

I’m disappointed because my need for partnership isn’t being met in the way we’re handling our finances.

I’m sad because my need for connection isn’t being met when you’re out with your friends every evening.

You can find out more about this style of intimate communication, along with other advice on building healthy, intimate relationships, at our website: www MagicRelationship dot com.

Another tip: when you offer your feelings and needs, it’s best to follow them with a request. If you offer them without a request, your partner won’t know why you’re giving them the information.

Do you want to be just heard?

Do you want advice?

Do you want to come up with a strategy for meeting your needs? Why the heck are you telling me this?

Often, a comment without a request will be taken as blame… which will lead to fixing, fighting or fleeing. Don’t leave your poor partner hanging.

Paul and I recommend asking, “Would you tell me what you heard me say?” (Avoid saying ‘could’- it implies they aren’t intelligent enough to repeat you. And avoid saying “What did I say?” because what you said and what they heard are two different things.)

And one more tip: don’t think that little behaviors are enough to be warranted as ’sharing feelings and needs.’ Fixing your honey a cup of coffee in the morning is very sweet, but it may not communicate your feelings of love and contentment like actually verbalizing the information. “I love you so much”, PLUS the cup of coffee goes much further.

Frowning and throwing around the bed covers while you make the bed may not adequately communicate your feelings and needs, either.

Instead, say: “I’m feeling disappointed because my need for support around the house isn’t being met. Would you be willing to discuss a way to help that would also meet your needs?”

There’s no room for misinterpretation there.

Try it out this holiday season: make a pact with your beloved to share absolutely ALL your feelings and needs for one day - the good, the bad and the ugly. Then follow the information with a request.

Be prepared to spend some time processing and discussing those feelings and needs as they come up.

However, try to avoid getting into BLAMING and ‘FAULT’ behind the feelings and needs. That tends to end up in a free-for-all about evaluations and judgments - who’s right and who’s wrong. Try to stick with feelings, needs and requests.

Try to do this on a day when you’ll have the time.

You won’t want to get cut off because you have to run to pick up the kids right when you’re getting to the heart of an issue that’s snuck up silently between you.

You’re going to want to stay and hold each other and talk it through… and feel the intimacy of clearing out all of those old, crusty feelings and unmet needs that have been clogging the flow of love.

And, again, you can find out more about this style of intimate communication for relationships, at our website - www MagicRelationship dot com - a along with advice on building healthy relationships.

A simple search engine inquiry will show you that you can find hundreds of free, printable wedding invitations online. With some basic design skills and a good word processing program, you could even design your own. But, will they look professional or poorly made? That could all depend on your font, ink and paper quality.

So, how do you make a home-printed wedding invitation look great? What do the invitation pros know that you don’t? To learn a few tips and tricks that will give your free printable wedding invitations that professional look and feel, keep reading.

Buy a High-Quality Paper Stock

When you go to print out your wedding invitations, you’re not going to reach for a no-name package of copier paper. Instead, you want to invest in a heavy card stock that has texture, weight and an expensive feel. Not only will your wedding invitations be more substantial and durable, they’ll also look better. Aim for at least an 80lb card stock.

When buying card stock, you can purchase pre-cut card stock which is already laser cut into a classic invitation shape. These kits typically also come with matching envelopes and RSVP cards, though they can be expensive. Alternatively, you can buy plain, uncut card stock and cut it yourself, but be sure to use a reliable paper cutter for a clean and straight cut every time.

Print With a Dependable Printer

If your printer constantly jams, prints unevenly or leaves unsightly ink lines on your documents, you don’t want to use it for your wedding invitations. Instead of wrestling with a cheap printer that’s not up to the job, ask a friend to use theirs or take the invitations to a copy shop where they can do fast, laser-printed copies for as little as 5-cents an invitation.

Add a Personal Touch

There’s nothing wrong with a classic invitation printed on a basic, clean piece of white card stock. Like that little, black dress in your closet - it’s traditional, safe and always looks great. However, you can also take your wedding invitations to another level with a small, personal touch or embellishment.

Some brides add a small ribbon or bow at the top, while others print the actual invitation on vellum paper (a heavy, see-through paper) and then affix it to a card stock backing. These little extras are a great way to add your own personal touch.

Pick a Font That’s Clear

While many free printable wedding invitations are great - offering wording suggestions, pre-formatted layouts and more - you need to be careful with the font selection. Look for an invitation that has a clear and easy-to-read font. Remember, a script font may look pretty and classic, but it could be a nightmare to decipher.
