Modern Wedding Invitations Provide Versatility
Decades ago, there was only one style of wedding invitation. The meager, yet ever-so classic white wedding invitation with silver or gold print screamed humble beginnings. Today, wedding invitations come in a variety of styles, tones and décor. Inviting Concepts provides a wide array of wedding invitations for the most modern couple.
A common theme for most couples nowadays is personalization. Brides want their wedding invitations to be unique and reflect their own personality. They want the guests to catch a glimpse, upon receipt of the wedding invitation, of what their ceremony will be like. Options are endless and brides now have every opportunity to catch their tone and implement it into the invitation. The wedding day and taste may be implemented by incorporating:
· A theme
The theme of the wedding invitation should carry over from the theme of the ceremony. The invitation should include a color that is to be used in the wedding, such as the bridesmaids’ dress color or the accent color used in the bridal bouquet.
The location of the wedding may also determine the theme of the invitations. If you are getting married on the beach, the wedding invitations could incorporate beach themed colors or an emblem that captures the outdoor location.
The time of year may also be an indicator of wedding invitation style. If getting married in the winter, the invitation should reflect the season. Some winter weddings are geared toward being more formal in nature and should include a traditional or more formal wedding invitation style.
· An embellishment
Modern embellishments that can be included on the wedding invitation to add your own sense of personality include ribbons, stickers, jewels or pearls. Wedding invitations may be dressed up with a colorful ribbon that pulls from the colors implemented in your wedding ceremony. If you are hosting a black tie event, a cream colored stationary with a black ribbon poses a nice touch and lets the guests know that the wedding is a formal event.
· A logo or monogram
Your initials can be used on the wedding invitation to add a personal touch. Your initials may even be used to create a logo that represents the two of you coming together. Logos may be in the shape of a heart and include the couple’s initials or monogram. Your initials make the invitation that much more personal.
· A personal quote
Adding a personal quote or meaningful song lyrics provide a nice touch in terms of personalization. It is important to choose something that provokes the heart strings in both you and your guests. Some modern brides choose a meaningful bible verse or saying that is personal to the couple. Guests will feel like they know the couple even more as they look forward to the special event.
· Invitation style
The style of wedding invitation may include a simple card, pocket-fold design, or tri-fold creation. Some wedding invitations are highly creative and arrive on the guest’s door in a box. Any shape and size of wedding invitation is available and can capture your very own personality that your guests will adore.
