Creative Wedding Invitations

So you have finally found the one and are getting married! You are happy and want to invite people to come and share your happiness as you begin your new journey as man and wife. The choice of a wedding invite is extremely important for any couple planning to get married. Your wedding invitation is the symbol of your upcoming unity and serves to trigger the guest’s first impression about your wedding too. It is a good idea to explore options and take your time to choose your wedding invitation.

Wedding Invites Based on Themes

If you are looking for a unique wedding invitation, you need to consider the theme (if any) of your wedding. For example, it is a great idea to invite guests to your beach wedding with a message in a bottle, use a sandal-shaped invitation, or a small sarong. If you have decided on a floral theme for your wedding, you can include dried, pressed flowers in your wedding invite. Concert tickets make excellent invites if your wedding has a musical theme. Invitations on luggage tags are a great idea for a destination wedding. For an elegant look, you can opt for stylish invitations, embellished and printed on expensive luxury paper or studded with swarovski crystals. You could even choose to incorporate items, such as, small chains and rings, which symbolize the union of two souls.

Do It Yourself Invites

Designing and creating your wedding invite is testimony to your effort to personalize your wedding and the importance of the wedding day to you. Also, it can help you save a lot of money. However, the process could be fairly nerve-wracking if you don’t have any ideas or the time to create your wedding invite.

Color it Right!

The color of your wedding invitation is an important element. Today, there are a host of choices when compared to the traditional white, silver and gold. You can combine trendy colors to transform a formal wedding invite into a contemporary one. The shape of your wedding invite and packaging are vital factors too, which influence the overall look of the invite.

Choose Your Words Wisely

Wedding invitations are meant to convey messages, regarding the date, venue, etc. of the wedding. Regardless of the invitation’s uniqueness, you need to determine the details you need to include. Make sure that you choose the words in the invitation wisely and minimize the chance of omitting necessary information, such as, the location of the wedding, reception, an RSVP phone number, if the wedding will be formal, semi-formal or casual.

A creative wedding invitation will grab the attention of your guests as soon as they receive it. To find a wedding invitation which portrays the value of your special day, you need to start conceptualizing it well in advance. You can find creative wedding invitations online. With a little research, you will be able to get them at discount prices too.

“Unique and trendy” are the new mantras of the Indian weddings, these days. Whether it is modernising any existing tradition or starting a new one altogether, it is all happening here.

One such wedding trend that has been a popular part of western culture for long, and that many Indian couples are now experimenting, is that of sending out- “Save the Date” cards. Basically, it is a card that you send out to inform your relatives and friends about your wedding date a few months before you send them the wedding card.

This makes sure that they do not forget your special day and keep themselves free on that day. Normally invitation cards are distributed 20-25 days before the wedding, but save the date cards are sent months in advance once the wedding details, like date and place, are finalised. This is also a great option for couples to adopt, especially if they are having a destination wedding, as it would help the guests stay prepared much in advance.

Just as wedding cards are getting fancier and creative with time, same is happening with “save the date” cards as well. There are various ways in which you can make your cards beautiful and create a lasting impression on your guests. Let us show you some fun ideas
