the formal route with engraving, keep in mind the process can
take 1-3 months, so allow time to proof what you’ve paid for.
In terms of postage, an important step is to know how much
it will cost, so have one complete invitation weighed at the
post office. Other things that can be a hidden cost include
irregular-shaped envelopes, or special enclosures such as
buttons, strings, clasps, or seals.
4 MONTHS TO THE DAY: Purchase Your Rings
Next to dreaming about your wedding dress are dreams
about your wedding rings. Choosing the right bands is very
important. With the engagement ring, there’s a promise to
love each other forever and the wedding band signifies your
commitment. One of the most popular styles in wedding
bands is platinum. Its durability and strength will stand
the test of time. White gold is a great alternative to buying
platinum because it looks like platinum; only it’s not as
expensive. For more traditional brides and grooms, choosing
a warm yellow gold wedding band is still a stylish option.
When you order your rings, have the jeweler engrave a
message or personal inscription on the inside or perimeter.
Start the process as soon as possible to make sure you receive
the rings in plenty of time for your ceremony. ■
