Many brides and grooms get caught up in the search for wedding invitations that by the time they finally pick their invites, they forget those little extra details that make a big impact. For those brides-to-be that are interested in going the extra mile, Martha Stewart Weddings has some wonderful ideas of how to take your invite to the next level.
Hand-Canceling
Take your invitations to the post office and request that they be hand-canceled. Machines print bar codes on the envelopes, but hand-canceling- just marking each stamp- keeps invitations neat and prevents damage that machines could cause.
