Tech-savvy couples today are putting their computer editing skills to work and creating wedding invitation videos. Filming themselves and their beloved, while inviting friends and family to the grand moment, where they will exchange their vows. Edited and then turned into finished files, these then can be emailed to everyone on the guest list! No postage, no paper stock, no fonts or ink colors to think about! Or if you don’t have such computer-savvy guests, you could also burn to a DVD, design a case cover to match your wedding theme and either mail or hand deliver them.

Do you like to write? Then don’t settle for the traditional, sometimes boring, wedding invitations. Put your creative talents to use and write your own original poem or verse. Remember to pick words that will complement the theme of your wedding and also the design of your invitation. Maybe make a rhyme while telling the story of their engagement. Be careful not to get too carried away with the rhyming, you don’t want to make your invite seem tacky.

Are you a singer, songwriter or musician? You should showcase your talents by writing an original wedding song. Record your song to CD and send with your photo invitation, add it to a photo invitation on DVD or post it you your wedding website*.

*Planning Tip: As you are planning the information for your wedding invitation: location, date and time, also remember to included your personal website or webpage for your wedding. Be sure to sign up on a bridal planning website, like GonnaGetWed.com, and create your own wedding page. This can be a great tool in your wedding planning allowing you to include photographs and stories about you and your fiancé, as well as providing the detailed information for your guests such as replying to an invitation online, details about the wedding venue, including travel maps and lodging accommodations, gift registry information and so much more.
