Unique wedding invitations are the great choice if you don’t want a traditional wedding invitation. Traditional wedding invites are very simple, usually just a flat sheet of card with your wedding invitation wording on the front. But not everyone wants this look, some couples want a more unique feel to their wedding stationery. Designs with a bit more colour, texture and sparkle.
Unique wedding invitations come in all different shapes from pocket-fold to gate-fold. Pocket-fold invitations have become very popular in recent years. The pocket allows you to place extra information with your invite such as a directions card, gift list and reply card.
Decoration wise, floral and swirl patterns are currently very popular. Most wedding stationery that utilises patterns can be printed in different colour ways, so you can match your stationery to your wedding colour scheme.
Diamantés decorated wedding stationery adds a touch of sparkle and luxury. You can buy designs pre-decorated with diamantés, or if you want you can add them yourself afterwards. Pre-glued diamantés are available from many stationery and craft shops. To stop the invitations looking tacky don’t over do it, between 1 and 4 diamantés per card should be enough.
More and more couples are choosing to get married abroad. If this applies to you then you might want to choose wedding invitations that have a beach or travel theme. For example a card decorated with a luggage tag, shells, planes or a photo of a sunny beach. You may also have a reception or wedding blessing when you return for your guests that couldn’t attend the wedding. Your invitations for this reception should carry on the travel or beach theme.
A unique addition to modern wedding stationery is the save the date card. These have become an essential choice for couples getting married during a popular holiday season. They give your guests advance notice to “hold” or “save” the date. They are also very handy for guests coming from out of town. Non-local guests will need to make special travel and accommodation arrangements and will appreciate the extra warning that save the date cards give.
