Wedding Invitations - Unique Designs
Seven of the hottest trends in wedding invitations for ideas on unique ways to invite your guests.
Wedding Invitations and Paper
Forget the plain cardstock! Contemporary invitation designers such as Tango Design feature papers of all types and textures. Beautiful embossing, felt textures, silk threads, chiffons, foiled patterns, even satin and velvet fabrics are used with great effect. Look at specialised handmade paper with all kinds of exquisite detail. This could be anything from rose petals to twine, or chilli peppers to coffee, embedded in the paper fibre. Invitation House has an amazing range of wedding paper- patterned, metallic, translucent and handmade paper with floral and metal embedding for stunning and stylish wedding invitations, thank you cards and reception place cards.
Wedding Invitations and Colour
Old world wedding invitations are ivory, white or ecru but new world versions are every colour of the rainbow. Silver and gold are frequently used as the theme colours for contemporary designs but pink, aqua and lavender are gaining in popularity too. Coloured inks are also en vogue, with brown ink on pink paper the favourite for wedding invitations at present. Choose the colour to tie in with your personalised theme.
Wedding Invitations and Shape
Traditional wedding invitations are often 5” square but a tall, vertical rectangle is currently the most popular shape.
Wedding Invitations and Fonts
Nowadays, you're no longer restricted to the old-fashioned, ornate, cursive fonts for wedding invitations (though they do look extremely elegant). Modern clean font lines suit modern weddings but whatever font you choose , make sure you limit it to two types only on your wedding invitation.
Wedding Invitations and Wording
Whilst some couples continue to use traditional wedding invitation wording, many are taking the liberty of personalising their text with the addition of a poem or a romantic quote.
Wedding Invitations and Delivery
Wedding invitations go out to guests in envelopes right? Maybe in the old world but in the new world, expect the unexpected. Some modern couples are having puzzles made of their invitations, injecting some fun into the formalities. Some are packaging off video versions, giving 'personally inviting' a whole new meaning. Others are sending gorgeous little messages from the sea such as the ones from All Bottled Up. This invitations supplier creates to your specifications which are then placed in intricate, hand-painted bottles with sand and shells or sparkles and confetti, thrilling all you invite.
