When I got married, I wanted my wedding day to incorporate so much love that my friends and family felt the love radiating at the ceremony and reception. I wanted to feel the love not only from my soon-to-be hubby but in the air around me as I walked down the aisle and as I said "I do." I included quotes about love in my invitations, my shower, my ceremony, my reception and even in the thank-you notes that I wrote afterward. I wanted everyone to feel lots of love before, during, and after my special wedding day. Incorporating quotes about love into your day just makes it that much more special. It is a wonderful feeling to share this love with every person you care about on your big day.

Invitations

With your invitation, you are inviting your closest friends and family members to come and be a part of your special day. Try to get the potential guest excited about your day by quoting some special sayings about love and weddings. Use them as the ending to your beautiful invitation or as the focus as the envelope is first opened.
