Anyone can tell you well-designed wedding invitations can set the mood and tone for the occasion before even one piece of decoration has been pinned up. You can convey a wealth of information to your guests, above and beyond the place and time. You can give them a glimpse into how formal or informal the occasion will be. In fact, you can even give them a glimpse of the design motifs you will be using.

The key to crafting the ultimate wedding invitation is understanding what you and your partner want. Key colors, textures, and fonts are essential components of the the perfect invitation. This will help your guests dress accordingly. You would be surprised how casual some guests will dress based on how formal or informal the invitation looks.
When you are ready to design your invites, you should keep in mind the location and roughly how many guests you're expecting. If your invites are centered on say a Grecian motif, but you're hosting it at a Coptic church, it might throw some people off. This is not to say if you're having your wedding or reception in a hotel you should feature the hotel's logo, but try to keep your invitations as relevant as possible.
It should be noted that an often-overlooked aspect of the invitation package is the location card. You guests will need specific directions to both the ceremony and the reception. Be sure to include the address to both somewhere either on the invitation itself or on a separate map or location card. This will help your guest find you!
Once they've made their way to both the ceremony and the reception, they will need to know where they can sit. With you can't do much in terms of the invitation, you should keep in mind you will need a professional printing boutique to craft your place cards. Be sure you have mapped out where everyone will be sitting -- and be sure too leave a free table for unexpected guests, like your old boy friend or girl friend.
