You are Cordially Invited...


A well styled wedding doesn't have to do with just the ceremony and the reception. It begins long before that. Wedding invitations are a great indicator to your guests what kind of wedding you will be having. And not just because you add the note that says "black tie event" or "casual dress."

Your invitations should match the theme of your wedding, and correspond with the colors you have chosen. This also gives guests an idea of what to wear, they won't want to match your wedding party and your decorations exactly, but they also don't want to clash and stand out. If you don't tell them, or your invitation doesn't tell them your color story and theme, then you may have that awkward moment when they coincidentally match perfectly or stand out like a sore thumb.

You have many options for types of invitations, and the smaller your wedding the more creative you can get with invitations, they aren't exactly cheap. But that doesn't mean you need to spend a lot of money on them or that you have to go with plain, ugly, or mainstream invitations just because you are on a budget.

The wording you use on your invitations can also tell a lot to your guests. There are options for casual weddings and more formal weddings, spiritual or secular weddings, and choosing the right wording for you is important. Don't think you need to stick with the traditional and boring wording, get creative and personalize it to you, your future spouse and the overall ambiance of your special day.

Below I have uploaded sample invitations I have designed to show different styles and types of wording possible. But remember, there are still many more options!
