Christmas is fast approaching. Everyone will soon be in a panic over Christmas Presents. Rushing around silly and generally getting themselves into a tizzy.

If you planning an up and coming wedding over the next few months. Life too will start to become even more hectic for you.

With a little forward thinking planning these ideas will help ease the panic. Ask your family to pitch in and help out were they can.

Invitations are generally sent out around eight weeks before the big day. Brides can start making their cards weeks before they are sent out to wedding guests. Make a few hand made invitations each weekend. The job will quickly be complete.

You may wish an invitation with a little difference. Why not try to make a swarovski crystal wedding invitation.
An elegant choice would be a cream plain card with no background. Next step is to cut out a love heart shape in the centre of the card. Attach the swarovski crystal or any other type of crystal to the middle of the cut out heart shape. On the reverse of the card, insert either the same colour of paper as your card.

Or you can add a contrasting colour, maybe the same as your wedding color.

The card would look beautiful. If you wish you can add an organza type ribbon in your color scheme to the side of the card. Perfect invitation.

Why not try to make your own RSVP cards and send them out with the invitations. This will save your guests some time. Hopefully you will receive your replies back quickly.

You can also make thank you cards to send out once you receive wedding gifts.

In keeping with the love heart crystal theme you can try and design your own place card holders and table plan.

If you decide after practising they not feel comfortable making the cards themselves. Couples can arrange to purchase the invites from stockists.
