George Cream
Planning a wedding is about more than coordinating the ceremony or creating a guest list. It's about putting in your own special touches to make it an occasion to remember and cherish. Your invitations not only set the mood for the entire event, they give you the opportunity to express your personal style as a new couple.
When you're thinking about invitation ideas, it's best to start simple. Consult with a stationer or printer to decide whether you want invitations that are formal, traditional, creative, or a combination. Complicated wording or unusual type won't necessarily set your invitations apart from others. They still need to be easily read and understood. Something as simple as changing the cardstock so it looks like a picture frame, or has unusual angles can make the invitation more attractive, and will encourage people to keep it long after the wedding is over. If you wish, you can get even more creative and shape your invitations like a heart, bouquet of flowers, or any symbol you and your fiancé hold dear.
Shape is not the only way to add a personal touch to invitations. Traditionally, invitations are white or ecru with silver or gold accents and black or brown ink. Today's shops have a vast array of papers and inks to choose from that can reflect the colors you will be using in the ceremony and reception. If using a bright color for the paper stock, consider a more subdued color for the ink and accents. Popular combinations are light blue with chocolate writing and cream accents, black with silver and fuchsia, or pastels for spring weddings. Ask your stationer about new trends that reflect a hip, elegant style. You might also consider handmade papers with beautiful inclusions for an intimate feel or transparent celluloid for a modern twist.
You may prefer a more traditional look but use creative wording to express yourself. So many marriages today combine households or have parents who have remarried, or any number of "non-traditional" elements that brides and grooms like to acknowledge in the invitation. Try finding a poem that describes the feelings you have about your wedding, or write your own that includes what makes your ceremony special to you. Your wording can reflect the importance of having special family or friends present, or maybe the date is particularly meaningful as it celebrates not only your wedding, but also a parent's anniversary or a favorite holiday. Don't hesitate to include a favorite Bible verse, proverb or quote, especially if you have never seen it on an invitation before.
An elegant, memorable invitation sets the stage for your wedding and reception. Ask all the questions you need and take the time to select a style that reflects your taste and the type of ceremony you desire. You'll find it well worth it when you look back on your special day.
