The Traditons Of Wedding Invitations

Wedding invitations are an interesting part of the whole Big Day operation. They’re the first thing that people see as a representation of your union (besides your engagement ring and perhaps engagement photos), and they can say so much about your personality and/or the type of wedding you’ll be having. Some take this very seriously, looking high and low for the exact right invites. Some make their own (good on ya!), while others order from handmade vendors.

Now, lets talk about the traditions of wedding invitations.

The postal service wasn’t always what it is today! Because of the early unreliability of mail delivery systems, wedding invitations were often delivered by hand. For relatives that lived farther away, however, the post office had to be trusted, and thus the origin of outer envelopes. Double envelopes ensured that, although the invitation might pass from hand to hand and become dusty or dirty before reaching its destination, once it arrived, there would still be a pristine envelope within containing the actual invitation.

While it may have seemed impractical still, for well-to-do Victorian households the system was quite fine. The courier would deliver the invitation to the house, with the butler intercepting it and removing the untainted inner envelope to deliver a pristine, untouched wedding invitation to the lady of the house. Although the postal service is a great deal more trustworthy now, this tradition has lasted through over a hundred years of mailed wedding invitations, and shows no sign of going out of fashion.

The Victorian era also saw the emergence of the reception card, as not all wedding guests were necessarily invited to the reception. Although the opposite is often true today, reception cards are still helpful to include with your wedding invitations, especially if your wedding reception is taking place in a different location than the ceremony. In such a situation, it’s appropriate to include the address of the reception hall on the card.

Have you ever wondered why wedding invitations come with a tissue-thin sheet of paper inside? This practice came about to prevent freshly engraved invitations from smudging, and has lasted as a tradition, though engraved wedding invitations have become less common. The tissue layover, like the outer envelope, has lost its original role yet remains a part of the wedding invitation tradition.

Just a few things to keep in mind as you create wedding invitations of your very own!

Top styles in designer dresses include backs entirely covered in lace, as a more subtle and romantic look than the sexier all bare backs of last season's dresses. To add just a flash of skin, the lace back may incorporate a “keyhole” effect exposing just a small section of the bride's back, and the cut of the dress back may create a lace frame effect.

what is the meaning of marriage?

Yesterday, a colleague said, she wants to get married because they want to buy the house a little earlier;

Not long ago, a friend said, she wants to get married because she feel the life is not fun, so they want to have a child;

Besides that, many people said that they feel the other conditions are not bad, so they wants to get marry...

There are so many reasons for getting married, but I don't know why they are all so reluctant that people can't hear the feelings of joy or sorrow from them. It's a long time that I did not hear a man say he is going to get married because of love, because he want to stay with another forever.

May be foever is too far, maybe life is not perfect. 

Once I saw a Hongkong woman writer who write a passage in a book:

"If we are now staying in a tasteless cantury? There are many tasteless things, but if we give up we will feel very pity! For example, our marriage, work, even the lunch you eat just now."

When reading the text I can feel a kind of invisible tears sadness and a not flesh and blood torture, life as if in a flawed one after another.

One day I met a high school girlfriend, and I know her has been dating non-stop for a long time, but has not met the satisfaction. so I asked her, if her demand is too high? To the kind of high education, high income, high stature? Because we are very familiar with each other, so my mood was evident in some ridicule.

She smiled and said, no, she was not too much about these, in fact, a blind date is a strong purpose, rushes is married, but she is not that kind of feeling.

I know that as long as this kind of people is the most difficult to success to date. I couldn't help asking her how marriage feeling?

"I just hope that when I do not happy he can make me feel that he will always accompany at me nearby, even if he did not say something, just hold me, tight, tight, tight again and say he will always love me."

Her expression firmly, without the slightest joke expression.

I suddenly felt a little touched, like even moonlight can not penetrate the city, to see the warmth of the light line.

I think that I do not necessarily require the other side to it that I feel honestly Acacia, hard waiting, or rain, love, my marriage just need to make light of the steady, but one day when he asked me to marry not because of his marriage can bring much practical interest, but the marriage share in his life.

I hope that moment, he can give me a reason to tell me he wanted to spend, and I spent every joy, anger, joys and sorrows of life, with life and death is. Even if it is only at that moment.......
