Wedding invitations serve as an announcement to friends and family members and also welcome them to the union of two people. These days there are an almost unlimited amount of designs and themes you can choose for your invitations. The following are a few ideas to get you thinking about your choices.
Location: Base the theme of your invitations on where you're holding the ceremony. Whether it's a church, on a beach or outside, you can use images and designs which suit the location. Include religious insignia for church weddings, occasional shells and sea-life for a beach wedding, and leaves or flowers for an outside wedding.
Colors: Use colors you've chosen for the ceremony on the invitation to unify the theme. You can use colors in the fonts, paper, or envelopes.
Initials: Using the initial of the last name the couple will use can be a great way to symbolize the union of the couple through marriage. Focus on the letter through the invitation by using a stylized or elaborate font.
Symbols: You can also use symbols to personalize the invitation. Try using symbols which relate to the couple and which carry a greater significance. A few ideas for symbols are flowers, stars, angels and hearts.
Seasonal: Connect the time of year with the wedding by using a seasonal theme for the invitations. Try fall leaves and colors for Autumn, snowflakes and silver trim for Winter, flowers for Spring and suns or bright colors for Summer.
Invitations are a great way to unify the wedding's theme in all aspects of the event, plus it will clue in your guests as to the type of ceremony that will take place. If your wedding and reception are to be informal and casual, a casual-type invitation will be perfectly suitable. Give some thought to the matter to create a balance between the invitation and the ceremony and reception.
If you're making invitations yourself, there are a great many programs which can help you choose fonts, colors and images that will suit your tastes and themes. Likewise if you use a company or person to make invitations for you, they will most likely work with you to make invitations that are unique or personal to your wedding.
A wedding is a very personal event and creating a theme that is personal to the couple makes sense. Choose a theme that suits you and choose your invitations to follow that theme. Then you'll be sure to have an event that you'll be happy with, as well as one that is memorable to all those who attend.
