Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

Here are a few photo tips that will help make the process of researching and organizing all the masses of wedding info you are collecting a fun and morganized process.

1. You have a digital camera, right?? Well… take it with you all the time so you can take shots of wedding dresses, china, flowers, reception halls, outdoor gardens and more. Always be sure to ask the “vendor’s” permission to shoot-it’s only polite. Say that you are taking images for your wedding database. This way, when you want to compare dresses, remember a china patter or the color of the flowers you loved, you’ll have the image on your computer and in the appropriate folder (more to come on that!).

2. Make sure you know how to turn the flash off on your camera. Very often the existing or ambient light will be adequate for your shot and will look more natural than a flashy image with your on camera flash.

3. The higher the ISO on your camera (may go from 100-1600), the more light sensitive your camera will be. So, if you can adjust the ISO and not use your flash, you’ll be good. If not, just shoot the best images you can.

4. When you get home, immediately download your images into folders on your computer that are specifically titled: Ex. Florists, Flower Arrangements, Gowns with Sleeves, Sleeveless Gowns, Dishes, Dining Room Furniture, Honeymoon, etc. Lumping all your images into one wedding folder will not help your organization.

5. Make 4×6 or 5×7 prints that you can place in your paper folders. This will be helpful when you want to put 3-5 images, for example, of flowers on your desk/table to look, compare and decide.

Wedding Invitations: Thermography Versus Digital Printing

Monday, February 28th, 2011

Wedding invitations are printed by a variety of manufacturing processes.  With a wide range of invitations to choose from you will be able to find just the right one to fit your theme, formality and budget.  It is wise though to know exactly what it is you are purchasing before making your final selection.

At one time all invitations were engraved using a hand tooled engraving plate etched by experienced craftsmen.  Often copper plates were used to which ink was added with the paper actually pressed to the plate.  This created a raised printing that you could feel.  You will see an impression of the entire imprint area on the back side of the paper.  By far the most traditional and formal printing method, it is also quite expensive and not used nearly as often today.

Letterpress is popular but is not the same process used in the past that involved lead slugs to make impressions.  Today magnesium dies are used to give the impression of letterpress on which you can see the individual letters pressed into the paper from the back side.

The process of lithography or offset printing is the most widely used printing style today.  Ink is applied to paper in a printing process that does not provide a raised or pressed appearance.  Magazines and marketing materials are printed in this way.  Less expensive than engraving, it looks fine but is not as elegant.

Digitally printed invitations are the least expensive to produce.  The appearance is similar to that of lithography and much like the laser printing that you do yourself on your home printer.  A relatively fast process, digitally printed invitations are fully customizable.

Thermography is a popular step in the printing process that looks very much like engraving but is far less costly.  Thermal powders are spread on wet ink and heated so that the powder melts into a solid mass that fuses and sits on top of the paper surface.  A fast process, you can feel the raised lettering on the front but not on the back of the paper.  Less costly than engraving but almost as nice, this process is a great choice for lovely wedding invitations you will be proud to send.

Before selecting your wedding invitation supplier, be sure and ask by what method your invitations will be produced.  All will include your customized information but you will want that information to look as nice as it can within your established budget.  When in doubt, ask that samples be provided for your review.  Your wedding invitations set the tone for your special day and you deserve the best.
