A couples wedding invitations play more than just a practical role. 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.

Exploring your style

Where you are not certain what style is appropriate, there are a few ways to help you find the right option. 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. If your dress is unique, daring, or bold, you may want to design invitations that are edgy and different. Bold colours, intricate designs and surprising invitation shapes can help you to make the style statement you have always wanted to. Keeping the wedding invitations similar in colour and design to the wedding dress and the wedding colours will give the entire wedding unity.

For themed weddings

If you are planning a themed wedding day then you can really let your imagination run wild when designing wedding invitations. Themed wedding ideas are limitless, from beach weddings to zombie weddings. Every themed wedding is unique and eventful, just as your invitations should be too. Make sure that you include a few hints in your invite as to the theme of the wedding.

Appropriate wording

The wording of your invites can play a large role in setting their style and also the style of your wedding. If you are planning a classic or traditional theme then be sure to include the forename and surname of the couple. In the case of addresses and dates they should be written out using full words as opposed to numbers. For modern or edgy weddings, abbreviations, initials and numbers can be used unsparingly.
