The invites are among the most important things that you need to think about for your wedding. They are the first taste that your guests get of your wedding, of what the tone, style or theme of your wedding will be.

Write a list of everyone you want to attend your wedding, and how many invites they will need. Generally families and couples will only need one, but young adult children within the families may want their own- particularly if you want their partners to attend.

There are a lot of stationary that you need if you want to give your guests as much information as possible.

These initially inform your guests of your engagement, get them to ‘save the date’ and give them the very first hint of your wedding. This is why it is important to figure out whether your wedding will be formal, casual, or romantic.

Not as simple as they sound, wedding invitations should ideally have included the invite itself, RSVPs, Order of Service (if you’re getting married in a church, or Order of Day if not) and information such as maps, places to stay and gift registration. Remember to include a date on RSVPs, so you know who is attending and who is not. If your guests to the ceremony and guests to the reception differ, then you will also need to think about this, and make sure you don’t mix up who is going to which part of your day.

You can either decide to send individual seating plans to everyone, for ease of consultation, or have one at the venue itself to be consulted on arrival.

If you have a seating plan, then place cards will be necessary. Order over the necessary amount, in case of mistakes.

This obviously depends on your wedding. If it’s informal, with a buffet, then a menu may not be necessary. If it’s a set menu, you’ll need to take into account special dietary requirements and request this knowledge well beforehand. This may mean that you should include a menu on the table to remind guests what they will be eating.

Thank you cards are always a lovely gesture that lets your guests know how important they are to you for attending your wedding.

There are a wide range of different styles out there, so you must think about your own personalities and the theme of your wedding and choose a design that reflects this. Look for value for money but a quality design- cheap wedding invitations UK.

CNET Reporters' Roundtable Podcast Reporters' Roundtable: Holiday tech buying update by Rafe Needleman December 2, 2011 1:10 PM PST Follow @rafe

We are in the middle of the holiday buying season right now, between the first rush of gift-buying that happened on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and the "Oh, crap, I need to start buying presents!" feeling that happens in about a week.

This is the most important month for the consumer tech economy, but this December will be different from all the ones that came before it.

Why? Mobile devices, online shopping, social networking, improved analytics, changing tax laws, and changing behaviors among both buyers and sellers, among other reasons. Today we are talking about how the gadget economy is evolving.

My guests are: Claire Cain Miller, a reporter at The New York Times who's been writing about this topic, and a returning guest to the Roundtable; and Mike Fridgen, CEO of one of my favorite tech startups, Decide.com. This company runs a service that can tell you if the price of a tech item you're looking at is good today and if it will be going up or down in the near future.
