A bride and grooms wedding invitations should not only be considered for practical purposes. They do more than announce your celebration and tell your guests when and where to show up. Invitations play the part of showing off your personal style to your guests and you can have much fun designing them.

Finding your style

If you are not quite sure what a suitable style is, there are a few steps that can help you out. The first stage of the process is to consider the kind of wedding dress you intend to purchase or have already tucked safely away in the cupboard. Where you have a traditional or very simple wedding dress you may decide that wedding invitations of the same ilk are appropriate. This would provide you with the chance to show off your classical or minimalistic style through your invite design. In contrast if your dress is bolder or unique then you have the option of choosing invitations that are a touch more edgy. A mix of intricate designs, dazzling colours and oddly shaped invites can provide the vehicle to make the style statement you have always dreamed of. Always bear in mind that it is important to ensure unity throughout the wedding by keeping colours and design similar between the dress and invites.

Considering themed weddings.

A themed wedding is a great opportunity for you to go a little crazy with your wedding invitations. Themed wedding ideas are limitless, from beach weddings to zombie weddings. The beauty of themed weddings is that they are truly unique and memorable days, just as your invitations ought to be. Design your invites to hint at the awesome twist your wedding will take.

What to write on your invitations

What you decide to write on your invitations says a lot about the style of your invites and of your wedding as a whole. If you are planning a classic or traditional theme then be sure to include the forename and surname of the couple. Rather than abbreviating dates and address to numbers, the full words should be used. If you are going for a more modern wedding then you can use initials, numbers and abbreviations wherever you like.
