Today you will find many brides and grooms sending out email wedding invitations. This may seem to get the message out quick and efficiently as far as prices go. On the other hand, this takes a good bit of fun out of traditionally sending and receiving wedding invitations through the post office. However, you can find some interesting and unique wedding invitations today.
However, there are a lot of people who don’t have a clue when it comes to what they are looking for when they want something unique for their invitations.
When most couples search for unique wedding invitations, perhaps someone else picks them out since most often they are traditional. The first thing you need to understand is your own personal style. When you know your style, it is not so hard to search for something that compliments your style. For example, if you have planning for a garden wedding, you may be choosing one that is floral.
There are various ways to choose something unique for your wedding invitations. Rather than considering what you may send out as wedding invitations or whether or not they are unique wedding invitations, consider them as part of your overall wedding stationary theme. Doing this will aid you in coordinating everything including your bridal shower invitations and your thank you notes. Keep in mind that your wedding invitations represent that which your wedding guests will be expecting of your wedding ceremony and reception.
That idea put a very different perspective on what I was looking for and how I wanted to present myself. I also thought about the colors I wanted because this can be so important. I decided to make the wedding stationary a complimentary color to the total wedding decor. Since we are using peach and lavender for the garden wedding colors, I found a wedding stationary that was a different color to match.
One idea for my unique wedding invitations that I found was the save the date magnet. This was much more effective to getting people there because they just put the magnet on the refrigerator and they remembered to mark it on their calendars.
Another great idea is searching for a unique font style for your invitations that appear to stand out on the invitation. You will want to choose one that is easy to read and not too complicated. If you are easily overwhelmed with details, doing this is very resourceful. Choosing a blind embossed invitation gives the impression of letters leaping out of the invitation.
It is very important to make sure that you send out your save the date cards at least six months before your wedding so that people will be able to literally save the date. This will get things rolling so people will stay interested.
If you’re having a tough time deciding on your wedding invitations, you can always check stationary stores. There are many stores that deal exclusively with weddings and are experts in creating unique wedding invitations. One thing I learnt is that in order for my garden wedding invitations to be unique, it need not be something extravagant, it can be simple and yet unique.
