Wedding Invitations
What is the purpose of wedding invitations? Are there only two?
Do wedding invitations merely…
1. Announce to the public the ceremonial event, on a specific date, at a specific time, in a specific place, naming the families involved?
2. Invite the guests?
Or do wedding invitations do more than simply “announce” and “invite”? Well of course they do. Wedding invitations make a declaration of not only your wedding intent, but your wedding invites also declare, publicly, your commitment to one another…your love and devotion…and with such intent important enough to commit such intent to public record, formalized to underscore your intent and desires for those invited/notified to not only be made aware, but also to be witnesses to your event.
And different couples make these declarations in varying degrees of seriousness or formality. Traditionally, the wedding invitation is very formal…on formal wedding card stock…with very elegant script [this used to be done by hand! Can you imagine hand-penning over a hundred wedding invitations? Yikes!]
Many wedding invitations will feature a professional photograph of the couple in their wedding attire or maybe some mode of dress that’s less formal, but intended to reflect the personality of the couple and their relationship. The photograph approach is exceedingly popular in today’s society. Some custom wedding invitations might include a nice pen and ink portrait of the couple.
The marvelous thing about how wedding invitations have evolved over time is there are so many wonderful choices available, there’s something for every couple! Greater selection has truly helped wedding planning be more successful for so many more couples. Even wedding invitation etiquette has changed quite a lot over the years!
And even though the main purposes of wedding invitations and other wedding cards are generally two-fold, it’s important to consider the other, underlying intent they serve.

Has anyone ever felt compelled to write a poem out of interest for another?
WRITING FOR RECOGNITION
Staying busy with written words to avoid speaking words not fully matured
A people’s poet performing only for you
My act is a plea for your recognition
Using metaphoric jisms to mask how your penetrating my interest
Hoping you will decode my efforts to express blatant intent
Vocally impotent…..
My scribbled conceptions are bowing to your presence
Begging for your physical response
or any indication that my words are reaching you
The thoughts of building with you puts beauty into my words
Portraits are painted in blue ink
Bleeding emotions from my pen
Exposing open wounds to prove my poetic sincerity
Speaking words I want you to hear fall submissive to the pen
Writing letters as I continue to develop my ability to read them for you
Hoping you will recognize my efforts to grow with you
PEACE

Yes, while I was courting my wife but my poem was clear and intelligible. I did not use poetic sincerity or metaphoric jisms or scribbled conceptions, but simple English words in ordered rhyme. It worked and we have been married over 47 years.
p.s. I still write in rhyme despite a friendly critic out there who commands me not to do so; I have not been able to find any of that one’s poems on Y/A. Can it be that those who do not do are good at telling others how to do?
