1745 days agoHi all. Recently friends/family have been asking me the level of formality of my wedding. I definitely know it is NOT formal, but I'm having a hard time describing the formality when they ask. What is the difference between casual and semi-formal?...

1764 days agoHi everyone! I've been reading that formality of the wedding invitation should match the venue. I wanted a more nontraditional/modern/fun invite, so I chose below. Is it too casual for the wedding venue? The venue is pretty modern and industrial...
