One of the ongoing trends in the wedding invitations and stationery industry is making everything designer. This can mean a number of things, and in this post, we will look into most of the trendy options of designer wedding invites available out there. Whether you want a truly unique wedding stationery collection, or something that is sentimental and you want it to look a certain way, or rather you want to make sure that all your wedding elements stick to the wedding dreams you had as child, these options can help you achieve what you are looking for.

We are looking into a few options, namely luxury wedding invitations, handmade wedding invites, to customising our wedding invitation envelopes to monograms & motifs and special treatments. You can make your wedding invites of designer quality in these ways.

Luxury Wedding Invitations

If you are looking for an out of this world wedding invite, then a luxury wedding invitation is the way to go. These couture designed invites are breathtakingly beautiful and can be customized to your requirements. Dazzling colours and ornate designs can adorn your invite and be truly worth the message it is carrying, in its regal appearance, one fitting a royal touch.

Handmade Wedding Invites

Handmade wedding invites, though you can have them personalised to your requirement, does not mean they are always in the same league as the luxury wedding collections.  You can sit down with a designer, and explain to them what you and your fiancé have planned and have them think up a beautiful masterpiece. Make sure to have samples done for reference so that you can see for yourself what the final product will be like.

Monograms and Motifs

A great way to ensure your wedding invite is personalised, it by adding the likes of monograms or motifs. You can even add this onto your wedding invitation envelope and customize it so that when your invitees have it in their hand; they can be informed of what it may be inside adding to the excitement of it all.

Special Treatments

There are many types of special treatments out there, from letterpressing, engraving, flat and foil printing, but a new trend is the use of laser cut treatments for beautiful works of art done on paper. Find an intricate design, and have it etched into your wedding invitations paper or cut away so that what you have is a beautiful piece of work, much like lace.

Most people start on their wedding planning as soon as they get engaged and if you have just recently become engaged, then ‘Congratulations’ to you and your fiancé.  The essence of the initial stages of planning for the wedding involves figuring out a date, where some couple opt to send out Save the Date Cards, the venue and the guest list. Now, even for you to send out the Save the Date cards for the wedding, you should have a good idea on who you are going to invite, via wedding invitation, so that you don’t face any embarrassment later on when reviewing the guests you sent out your save the date cards and the list that you want to send out your wedding invitations to.

Regardless, some couples opt to not send out save the date cards, maybe due budget constraints, or purely to make their wedding invitations a hit, and one way that you can do so is with illustrated wedding invitations that are the talk of the industry. There are many reasons why you a couple would choose to go with illustrations for your wedding invitations, based on their inspiration or even because they just like the look of it all. If you are inspired by your venue, for example, if it’s at the beach, in your backyard or a garden or even at a hall, you can draw your inspiration from the details, from the seashells, to the flowers, to the birds and scenery and even design elements such as structures and so forth, to make your illustrated wedding invitations a true hit with the invitees.

Based on the inspirations and maybe even the theme of the wedding, you can plan out how the wedding invite masterpiece will come to be. You have several options, you can choose a professional invitations retailer, such as DreamDay Invitations and rifle through their collections to find the right one for you, or you could opt for the DIY wedding invitations route and have the illustrations either drawn separately and printed on or have them hand painted on each and every wedding invitation.  Whichever way you choose, you are assured of a wonderful result.

There are numerous ways in which the illustration can be done, either professionally or DIY, and those would involve the usual printing route to screen printing, and of course painting with watercolours or your choice of material. What you are striving for with these illustrated wedding invitations is creativity mingled with uniqueness, and I believe you’ve hit the mark.

As you two sit and work on your guest list, you start to discuss the many different tasks that need to be done. You more than likely will also discuss what kind of wedding you want. Within this discussion, you will probably talk about the impressions the guests will have. You will definitely want to impress your guests with unique wedding invitations since these will be the first items they will see about your wedding.

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.

Where to Look for Your Invitations

You could run around the town to card shops, stationary stores and print companies and spend hours upon hours looking through designs and never find the right one. What a waste of time and gas. The best solution is to search the many websites that are available. There you can find a reliable wedding invitation company that handles more than just invitations
