Custom Wedding Invitations
A very memorable way to invite people to share your wedding day, or even a bridal shower, is to have invitations custom-made. Receiving a custom-made or handcrafted invitation says volumes about the couple who sent it.
You can certainly express much more of your personal style by having your wedding invitations custom-made. Additionally, because this is a growing trend, the wedding invitation industry is enjoying more and more choice in custom wedding invitations every year, and this means better selection and often better prices for you (because of increasing competition).
Custom wedding invitations are unique to you, and as such allow you to express your personal style in a way that you simply cannot with standard issue. Some ideas we have seen, just to get your imagination rolling, include:
- Themed Invitations: Whether it’s woven grass paper in a soft green for a golf club wedding, or custom queen of hearts-themed pieces for a wedding at a casino hotel, the theme or location of your wedding reception can play a big part in inspiring the look of your invitations. The sky’s the limit!
- Reflect Your Personalities: We have seen custom invitations in the style of a passport for couples who love to travel, and airplane-shaped invites for couples in the airline industry. In the second case, most of the guests were also in the aviation industry, and really appreciated the themed invitations.
- Art as Invitations: A beautiful painted portrait of the couple, a lush landscape or any subject matter that is meaningful to the couple can make for a stunning invitation. For example, we have seen invitations featuring a beautiful watercolor done by the mother of the bride-to-be, with a dedication to the mother/artist inside, explaining the significance of the picture. Printed on high-quality cream rough-edged paper, this made for an unforgettable and touching way to invite friends and family.
- Location Theme: For a tropical or beach wedding, consider a theme-based invitation featuring tropical flowers, a beach scene or even a little pouch of powdery sand. Some gorgeous creations are available at companies such as My Personal Artist.
