When i was looking for somewhere to have my wedding, I came across these and thought you may want to have a look. So here is a list of what the tour operators say are the best and most popular places to get married:

Barbados weddings. Barbados holidays have always been much sought after and the reasons are pretty obvious. There are the whitest sandy beaches you will ever see, and the sea is as clear as the sky. If you decide to honeymoon here as well, you won’t be let down, the people are lively and vibrant, some call this the party island. If you want to have an extended honeymoon at one of the most exciting places in the world, then Barbados is a great location. Some resorts will actually include the wedding in the holiday package, free of charge!

The Island of St Lucia. If you are looking for a wedding in the midst’s of the Caribbean, and Barbados doesn’t seem right, try this location. If you want a all out massive wedding and everything to be sorted out for you, the St Lucia holidays package can be modified to include; wedding coordinator, government fees, clergyman or magistrate, decorated garden or wedding site, witnesses, bridal bouquet and matching buttonhole, wedding cake and even a bottle of bubbly. This is by far the most beautiful of the Caribbean islands, but it does happen to be the most expensive place to get married, other than Antigua.

Look for a wedding in Africa, then I seriously recommend Pinewood Village in Kenya. The beaches are absolutely glorious, and can you imagine yourself (the bride) being led down to the seaside by an entourage of Maasai warriors under floral archways to the marriage dais on the shore, this wedding is completely exclusive and not a single other wedding will be taking place on the same day as yours. If you choose the Pinewood Village package you will find a massive accompaniment of goodies; A manicure and pedicure for the bride to be, a lovely wedding cake, cocktails for all the guests, a massage for both bride and groom, sparkling wine for the celebrations, a chance to have the reception at the Peponi beach and all the government fees including registrar.

As a record of important details from your special day, your wedding invitation is uniquely a one-of-a-kind remembrance.  Ordering a few extra invitations is highly suggested so you can save them as wedding souvenirs but then they will more than likely be stored away in your wedding album. 

Why not create a memento of your wedding invitation that is more permanent and can be easily displayed in your home as a special remembrance.  Especially since all the formal details of your wedding day appear within your invitation text – date, time of ceremony, time of dinner/reception, name and address of ceremony location, name and address of dinner/reception locale – as well as maybe a special verse or quote chosen by you and your fiancé.  The invitation design itself may also be symbolic of the colors or theme of your wedding.

Having your invitation wording permanently imprinted on a keepsake item is a wonderful way to uniquely commemorate your wedding day.  Here are some suggested items that can be engraved with your wedding invitation verse:

·  Commemorative Plate – Easily hung on a wall or placed on an easel for table-top display, a decorative plate engraved or etched with your invitation verse will make a wonderful memento for years to come.

With all of your planning and preparations, creating a wedding invitation keepsake may not be a high priority before your wedding, but this is easily something you can have designed later since you may even receive one of these personalized items as a wedding gift. 

Your wedding is without a doubt one of the most important days of your life so give some thought to creating a lasting souvenir of your wedding invitations to preserve all the details of your special day.  As the years go by, you will undoubtedly be glad you did.

You often hear the phrase ‘modern wedding invitations‘ but what really classifies them as modern. 

We all know modern is the opposite of traditional.  Traditional wedding invitations brings to mind a simple invitation card, classic black ink, a standard lettering style and two mailing envelopes.  Modern wedding invitations, on the other hand, let you be more creative and unique which seems to be quite appealing to today’s couples who tend to look for ways to truly personalize their weddings including their invites.

Here are some trends that you may feature on your modern wedding invitations depending on the design you choose and the options available:

·  Multiple Lettering Styles – A larger and sometimes fancier font style is used to emphasize the couple’s names on the invitation compared to the rest of the wording.

·  Contrasting Ink Colors – A second distinct ink color can be used to highlight certain details on your wedding invitation like your names.

·  Pockets – Becoming increasingly fashionable, this style has a pocket for holding the wedding invitation and possibly a separate pocket for any enclosure cards, depending on the specific design.

·  Self-mailing – These invitation styles no longer require a separate mailing envelope since they turn into their own self-mailer piece.  Some designs have an envelopment, which may be colored, that wraps around all the invitation pieces for easy mailing.  Another self-mailer design option are seal and send wedding invitations that actually fold and seal up into their own mailing piece.

·  Bright and Bold Colors – Today it is easier than ever to make a personal statement with your invitation colors either through your paper, design or ink choices.  Beautiful color combinations are also abundant with colors you may not have considered as matching but actually create a stunning contrast when paired together.

·  Distinctive Sizes & Shapes – You can easily select a wedding invitation design that has a unique shape such as being square or is an unusual size such as tea length.

·  Patterns – As part of the invitation design, patterns are becoming stylish including paisley and retro motifs.

·  Colored Papers or Envelopes - Make your wedding invitations eye-catching by choosing a design that has colored paper stock or colored envelopes.  Just be sure to choose an ink color that will look good on the colored paper.

·  Recycled Paper – For those striving to be more eco friendly, there are now many beautiful wedding invitation designs that are printed on recycled papers.

·  Embellishments – Ribbon has become quite popular as an added special touch to wedding invitations. 

Everyone’s idea of what modern wedding invitations are may vary but the above trends are definitely options that will make invites look more contemporary.  Your invitations will surely reflect your own unique personal style using any of these options.
