Whether you’re planning an intimate destination wedding or an expansive, all-out affair, you’ll need to figure out the best wedding invitation card to let your guests know all about your special day.
When it comes down to it, having fewer guests mean you can be a bit more creative and luxurious with your wedding invitation. Cards and papers can get expensive if you start looking at some of the more high-line versions.
I was shocked when I received an invitation to a friend’s wedding and could tell that each of these invitations had been hand-addressed by a skilled calligrapher! I can only imagine the time and money that would go into such an endeavor.
And that’s just one example of the kind of choices you can make when it comes to your invitation—some are accented with a gold, double-faced ribbon, a full color photo of the happy couple, or any number of luxurious and often beautiful additions.
But if you’re committed to an invitation your guests will proudly hang on their bulletin board, especially if you’ve got a smaller guest list, these are certainly doable and can make for an extremely memorable and striking invitation.
When it comes to larger weddings, however, you might not want to pull out all the stops. After all, you’ve still got to plan and pay for the actual wedding! Invitation cards can still be creative and attractive, even without an extensive budget.
Use bright, cheerful colors, something bold and exotic, or choose a color scheme that is subtle and classic. No matter what you choose, let your invitation designer show you as many examples of fonts and styles as you can stand, then take a step back and maybe sleep on it for a night.
The next day, you’ll have an idea of what you think looks nicest and what will represent you best.
When it comes to the envelopes, I wouldn’t suggest sitting down to write them all out yourself. This is time and energy you probably don’t have, and hours you could spend working on something much more worthwhile.
Printed envelopes can look just as handwritten and authentic as their more expensive counterparts. Chances are you’ll mess up at least a few of the envelopes if you try to tackle such a large project yourself—you’ll save resources by letting someone else take care of this.
