Your invitation is the first impression your guests will receive about your wedding- so make it count! These invites by Montreal-based stationary company, Pierre Belvédère, are a great way to not only announce to family and friends your upcoming nuptials but to help set the tone of your big day. They’re also compatible with all printing methods should you choose to forgo handwritten notes – especially if you have a large head-count. Remember, whether you’re opting for a traditional or modern ceremony your invitations should read neat and elegant, not sloppy and careless. Oh, and don’t forget about thank-you notes!

The “Damask”, “Lace Flower” and “Studio Monogram” invitations, $15 each. PierreBelvédère.com for locations.
