Tips For Creating Memorable Wedding Invites
After finalizing your guest list, finding the venue, and securing the date, it’s time to let your future guests know all about your wedding day! Wow, your guests and add some personality to your invitations, by putting a creative twist on a classic idea with some of our favorite tips for creating memorable and modern wedding invitations.
Traditional with a Twist
Hand Illustrated
Having trouble finding a wedding invitation design that matches your styles and personalities? Customize your wedding invites with hand-illustrated designs. On sites such as Etsy, you can contact designers with ideas for illustrations and the specifics of your date, and the designer will create a wedding invite that is completely customized to your wedding theme. Many designers will even send you the PDF, so you can choose the best materials and method for printing. What’s more memorable than a one of a kind wedding invitation?
Mixed Metals
Make your designs spring off the page with mixed metal wedding invitations. The combination of metallic colors such as gold and copper give your wedding invitations a sense of class and quality, while the feeling and weight of the card make them feel as much like decorations as invitations.
Plexiglass or Clear Acrylic
Set the tone for your wedding with invitations that match the formality of your event. Clear acrylic or plexiglass wedding invitations are unlike any other invitation your guests have ever received and will give the impression that your wedding is a unique event worth looking forward to. This formal wedding invitation will have your guests searching for their very best attire in preparation of your wedding day.
Card Alternatives
View Master
Everyone enjoys a bit of nostalgia and inviting your guests with this throwback toy will bring a smile to your guests’ faces while igniting memories of their childhood. It also creates a personal touch by giving you the opportunity to tell the story of your relationship and engagement through visual imagery. To see the next part of the story they’ll have to RSVP!
Rustic Magnets
We all have calendars on our phones and automated notifications, but one of the best places for reminders is still the refrigerator! Make it easy for your guests to hang your wedding invitation by crafting your wedding details on a rustic magnet. Not only is this a constant reminder of your upcoming event, it’s a fun decoration that will likely remain on the fridge after your wedding is over!
Jigsaw Puzzle
Engage your guests in your event from the very beginning with an interactive activity that piques their curiosity! Creating a game gives the impression that your wedding is going to be a day full of fun and excitement, and will have your guests solving your puzzle and marking their calendars moments after receiving your wedding invitation!
Paperless Invitations
Looking for environmentally friendly options that fit in your budget? Consider going paperless and sending your wedding invitations digitally! With more options than ever before and some of the best designers in the industry contributing to create incredible works of art, paperless wedding invitations have become a viable competitor to traditional wedding invitations.
Paperless invites can even help you stay more organized with follow-up tools such as RSVP tracking, guest messaging, calendar links and more. Check out some designs or upload your own on sites such as Paperless Post, Pingg, and Greenvelope.
