How do you set the tone?

The invitation sets the tone. Formal or informal. Traditional or playful.

For my own wedding, I sent out a white panel invitation with a red ink, a sheer bow, and silver foil confetti in shape of a rose. My invite said this is a simple wedding with creative touches.

Chicken not steak folks.
