Different Wedding Invitation Styles
Posted by: Wedding And Gems on: February 13, 2010
Your wedding invitation is the first chance you have to set the tone and establish the mood for your wedding. Whether modern and smooth or time honoured and floral, your invitations can go a long way in ensuring that your wedding becomes a much anticipated event, and is remembered long after vows are exchanged.
By picking the right wedding invites, you aid your guests to await your wedding and stir up excitement long before your wedding day. You can make a excellent first impression by carefully choosing the invitation that suits your style and the theme of your wedding or wedding venue. Then continue with rsvp cards, name cards, order of services, menus – even thank you cards – that echo the same theme.
Below are some ideas which may help you decide on the right wedding invites for you.
Modern Wedding Invitations
If you’re wanting your invites to be contemporary then stick with clean lines, minimal embellishments placed strategically. They can have their own individual style – cute, humourous, or even formal.
Traditional Invitations
Traditional wedding invitations are those often with an ivory or cream background. They will always have the words “wedding invitation” stampedprinted on them and will seem quite official. They will have traditional wedding invitation wording where all traditional invitation etiquette will be observed so if you wanted to use of own wording these wedding invitations may not be for you.
Unique Invites
If you wanted unique invites you’ll pay a little more unless you buy a design where your names are the focal point of the design like at Wedding And Gems Invites. Or you can choose to have bespoke invites created specifically for you. If you don’t have the money for bespoke wedding invitations you could always create your own, there are plenty of ideas available on the internet to provide inspiration.
Destination Invitations
If you’ve chosen to have your wedding at the coast then it’s only appropriate that your wedding invitation reflect this, pick invitations will beach colours, invites with charms which are beach accessories such as shells, flip flops, cocktails by the sea.

How to get personalised wedding invitations

There are a number of ways you can make your wedding invitations more personal to you, this article will discuss just some of these methods and give you lots of inspiration to get your own creative juices flowing.
Of course if your wedding budget allows you could get bespoke wedding invites, these are invites designed as a one off just for you and tend to be quite expensive. Or if you really do have a very limited budget, you create your own wedding invitations this is very time consuming but could be extremely satisfying with good planning and interesting materials.
If you fall in-between these 2 extremes there are other options to ensure your wedding invites are unique to you. For example some designs use the names of the bride and groom as a the cards focus, creating a personalised wedding invite. This makes a inspirational change from having the obvious phrase of “wedding invitation” printed on the front of the invite. You can see this type of design at Wedding And Gems Invites.
If you’re planning on having your invitations created for you ask if you can add your own text to make a nice change from standard wording. Most companies will allow this without an extra fees. Standard wedding invite text tends to be quite formal or rigid so make a statement with your own wording and let your joint personality break through.
Some wedding stationery companies offer to print your wedding guests’ names without extra fees, if the company you choose to go with, does offer this service, grab it. Not only will it save you time not having to hand writing all the invitations but it will add a sophistication to your invitations too.
You could always make your wedding invitations more unique by placing something into the envelope to flutter out when the invitation is opened such as a thought invoking verse to make the recipient smile. Stay away from adding glitter or confetti as this will only irritate your guests when they have to get out the vacuum cleaner to clean up the mess.
You can also create a unique stamp so you can add it to your wedding invitation. This can be done on the Royal Mail website by uploading a image. I think this is a really nice finishing touch to help make your wedding invites exclusive to you.
At Wedding And Gems Invites, not only do we all use the brides and grooms name in the design, but we also all personalised wording and the printing of your guests names for free so why not take a look at the wedding invitations on offer.
