The peak of the wedding season is just wrapping up, and this time around we saw an interesting new trend- couples adding a personal touch to their celebrations. This made us wonder, while planning a wedding with a personalised touch to the traditional customs, why do most couples ignore the very first step- the wedding invitations?
During the peak wedding season, we all find a sudden burst of Save-the-Date invitations in our mailboxes or a stack of wedding cards lying at our homes. Do you know one thing common in all of them?

Totally bored by the done-to-death current lot of wedding invitation wording options, today we aim at polishing the wordsmith in you by giving a few enriched troves of unconventional wedding invitation wording alternatives.
