Decide Your Theme

One of the first things to consider before deciding on the design of your wedding invitations is what your theme will be. You are two very unique, individual people and you want something that says who you are. Do you love nature and prefer an outdoor wedding? Is there one season that is your favourite? Do you have an interest in things from the past like medieval castles, Indian lore, or the good old western days?

Maybe you are the type who likes everything in a clean, proper order and don’t hold much value in intricate, antique or historical items. Your apartment is clean, streamlined and ultra-modern.  Maybe you are the type who has country collectibles sitting on all the tables, and the kitchen is a warm and cosy place.

Whatever your preferences are, whatever theme you choose, if you really want the first item your guests see to be impressive, then consider invitations that match the theme you choose, or invitations that say something about your personality.
