While this might be great there are people who simply cannot afford this material and for such the best substitute will be card of the heavy weight kind. Board or heavy weight material should always be used with embossing if the outcome is to be impressive. Quality cards weigh between 250 and 300 GSM. Board usually weighs between 350 and 400 GSM. Incase one does not know how to get the best designers around; they should try attending functions like wedding fairs to get to the best. Wedding stationers and printers can have samples of the best wedding cards. Finally, there is always the option of internet stores that are known for variety and being cheap when it cokes to classic wedding invitations.
