Your wedding can be unique with these simple tips
- Use a unique design
Choose a unique wedding design that would interpret your theme and stand out. If the box shape invitation is what you like, spice it up. If you are on a tight budget you can work with simple designs that will stand out anytime. You can decide to use stones or pearls to design your cards or use a picture or drawing to make it look extraordinary.
- Don’t crowd the card
The information supplied on the invite should only include the key points on your invitation: ceremony time and location, the hosts, your and your fiancé’s names, the dress code (optional) and RSVP information. Trying to squeeze too much onto the invitation card can make it harder to read and it won’t look as elegant.
- Choose your words wisely
Since you are saving space, you have concised words. Learn the rules to wording your invitation. Traditionally, whoever is hosting is listed first on the invitation. Customarily, you should spell everything out, including the time of the ceremony. On classic wedding invitations, there’s always a request line after the host’s name like “so and so request the honor of your presence.”
The wording can change as the hosting situation does, so make sure to double-check you’ve added everyone who should be included.
- Ensure the words are legible
As you consider colors and patterns, don’t forget about the text. The information you put on the invitation is the whole point of sending it out in the first place. Your designer should be informed about the legibility of the words written on your invite.
