As the first piece of memorabilia guests will receive about your wedding, your wedding invitations should be beautiful, elegant, and represent your personality. There are a variety of ways you can make your wedding invitations stand out and be noticed.

• Match your wedding theme. Whether you have chosen a beach wedding or a winter wonderland, your invitations can invoke the beginning of the wedding theme in the guests’ minds.
• Photo Invitations give a personal touch. You can use standard photo invitations, or personalized ones with your photos. This will create unique wedding invitations that your guests were not expecting.
• Handcrafted invitations with special embellishments. Ribbons, bows, or lace can accent your handcrafted wedding invitations nicely, creating a unique invitation for your guests to treasure.
• Be bold. Invitations are not just white, cream, or beige anymore. Choose striking color combinations, such as cherry red and aqua blue, lilac purple and black, or sage green and midnight blue.
• Add some sparkle. Whether you add a pinch of glitter, confetti, or stickers to the wedding invitation envelope, your guests will remember the additional fun you have added to their invitations.
• Create something new. If you are the artistic type, you can create a brand new format for your wedding invitations. Write a poem or tell the story about how you and your fiance met. Let your imagination carry you through the process as you invent your own type of wedding invitations.
