Contemporary wedding cards

Contemporary wedding cards
If the wedding is a modern affair, even the wedding card should be contemporary. In fact it is the way the wedding card is presented that one is able to judge what kind of a wedding will take place. Sometimes it is the budget that decided what kind of wedding cards will reach the guests. Often people are confused. If the wedding is a serious affair then the card should be classic. The main ceremony can be modern but the card should look like it is announcing something special. Well it need not be this way! Contemporary wedding cards are also capable of creating the right mood and impression provided they are done with care.

Even in the newest trends one can still use elegant and fancy fonts, as along as they are legible. Esy to read and understand makes it clearer. A white card embossed with dark grey letters can look very subtle. The same white card can also have letters in red, the colour of passion. Catholics chose pristine white or ivory colors to announce the bridal couple. The choice of modern Indian wedding cards is more likely to avoid the colourful miniature paintings. A simple hand paper in light cream, beige with maroon calligraphic letters is common. Along with the wedding card the wedding envelope also has the same theme running. These letters have the gold or silver shine to it and are done in art paper.
Some people wonder why Indian wedding cards are so big and long with so a number of names. The great Indian family celebrates weddings as a joint venture. Everyone partakes in the event. So a typical contemporary wedding card will have:

1. Names of the parents or grand parents (if they are alive) requesting the guest to attend the functions.
2. The names of the bride and groom are added after that.
3. In some communities the names of the maternal uncles and cousins also merit a mention.
4. The credit titles include someone special too! Only if they have facilitated the wedding!
5. The various functions leading to the grand finale will also be written.
6. For an average middle family most functions are held at home or in a wedding hall.
7. Address and contacts for RSVP are given too.

The shape of the wedding cards also can be different, but most couples stick to rectangular or square shapes.
