Original Ideas for your Wedding Invitations
Your wedding invitation is among the first things you need to take care of. The motifs you select, the nice motto and graphics will all make a first impression on how your wedding is going to be. When you hand out the invitations, your guests will immediately have a look to see whether there is something interesting in it, whether you have formulated the announcement in an original way, or whether you have included one or two funny lines in there. Here you are going to be presented with a few original ideas that you can use to match the motif /theme of your wedding.
Invitations for a tropical beachside wedding
This will be a less formal invitation, with an overall fresh and colorful tone; after all you have chosen a breezy and tropical destination for your wedding. You could think of wrapping your pure white invitation with a silvery ribbon upon which you are going to glue a starfish. You can find many places online that sell white starfish for example, and the price is less than $1 apiece. The more you actually order, the bigger the discounts you can get.
Another trend nowadays is to make scented invitations. For a beach party wedding, a coconut or a sea-breeze scent would be perfect. Such tiny details will make even the plainest invitation very special. Make sure that your invitations match in theme and motifs the table cards, the thank you cards, or your reply cards.
For a touch of sparkle, don’t forget to sprinkle some glitter all over the inner side of your invitation. This is how you can personalize your pure white and simple wedding invitation, upon which you have selected text written with beautiful calligraphy!
Invitations for a flowery spring wedding
If your wedding is in spring, just when nature starts to come to life with wonderful green colors and red and yellow flowers all over, your invitation should carry the spring motif on it. Keep in mind that you should never use as decorations on your invitation anything made from plastic because that will give it a cheap tone. Instead, inspire yourself from nature; order a few plain invitations with the text already embedded and bring it to life with wonderful décor:
- You can add little bows made of raphia
- On the envelope you could glue a tiny colorful dried flower
- If your wedding is a very formal one, on your invitation cover you should use as motifs the white rose or the “stephanotis” (the Madagascar Jasmine flower) which actually symbolizes purity and bountifulness in marriage. If, on the other hand you are going to have a less formal wedding, you should go for a colorful bouquet of spring flowers.
Winter season wedding Invitations
If you plan your wedding around Christmas, you should definitely personalize your invitation accordingly. Add onto it beautiful white and silver snowflakes, and add to it a tiny little silver bell. You could also choose an invitation in the shape of a silver bell, and tie around it a wonderful cherry red satin ribbon. A simple and very elegant winter season invitation! The colors you should use include silver and blue, red and golden, red and white, and so on. Always make sure to use two, maximum three colors within your invitation, for a touch of class and elegance.
