You've been looking through wedding invitations for what seems like a lifetime. What you like doesn't suit your fiance. What your fiance likes just doesn't quite grab you either. Some are too fancy, other are too formal, and there are thousands of different styles, fonts, and colors, but not one seems to fit the image of your "couple-hood."

Maybe it's time to go a more unconventional way and create your own unique invitations. Maybe you and your fiance enjoyed your first date watching the sun set over the ocean. Maybe your passion is music. Maybe you share hobbies together. So why not show all of your wedding guests how you feel about each other by creating wedding invitations that say exactly that?

First, think of that one special moment that sticks out in your minds. Was it your first kiss? What was the scenery around you? Or could it be the place you first met? What time of year was it? Was there snow on the ground? Maybe it was autumn and the color of the leaves jumped out at you. Use these thoughts to come up with a background or even a color scheme for your invitations. Maybe you even have a picture of that moment hidden on a memory card somewhere or your picture files that you just don't seem to get enough of.

The Internet offers many do-it-yourself Web sites to guide you through the step-by-step process of creating your own. A couple worth checking out: MyGatsby.com and do-it-yourself-invitations.com. So take your fiance on a trip down memory lane and find that special moment that says it all. You can show the world how you really feel with your wedding invitations.
