Getting the money together for a wedding is already tough, but on top of that, you’re also going to need to worry about wedding invites. The wedding invitations are the first impression that your guests will get of you, so it is important to make yours stand out. You can achieve this by ensuring that your wedding invitations have a unique design and are customized for the occasion. These 5 ways will help you create an invitation that is worthy of being on your guest’s table.
Find inspiration for your design from the venue’s theme
Using the event venue that you’re going to have your wedding at has been increasingly popular. In fact, some people will actually have the wedding venue either sketched or watercolored right into the wedding invite. One example could include if you are having a beach wedding. Finding inspiration from beach themes such as palm trees and sand.
Use motifs
You don’t have to hire someone to make your wedding invitations, you could even go for the DIY route and utilize Canva or even Etsy wedding invitation templates. Motifs or vector files can be a great way to make your wedding invite completely stand out. For example, if you’re having a rustic wedding, use flowers or leaves in your invitations to bring in natural elements into your design.
Use a unique font
Make sure that you use a font that is not commonly used in wedding invitations. Cursive is increasingly common when it comes to weddings. This font is gorgeous and very elegant, but it is overdone. The point of making your wedding invitations stand out means you want to go a bit out of the ordinary. It should be something that will stand out among the rest of the fonts and will help people remember your invitation.
Add images
Images can be used to give your invitation an extra personal touch and make it more memorable for guests. If you want to use an image, make sure that it is high resolution. And has enough space for guests to write their names on it or add other details they might want to include in their response card.
A lot of couples hire a wedding photographer and will do an engagement shoot. Others will hire an artist to maybe make a drawing or painting that can go into the wedding invite. Little maps have become increasingly popular when it comes to wedding invites. As these can show what is happening throughout the wedding day and where everything is taking place at.
Use fun or creative color scheme
Choose colors that are different from what is typically seen in wedding invitations so that your invitation stands out from others. But of course, pick colors that you and your partner are going to like. Usually, couples will opt to use colors that they plan to use at their wedding. These colors will also match the season such as brown and rusty orange fitting the autumn season.
