Choosing the right Invitation Design

Today I am putting together the Invitation details for Leah and Sean’s wedding.

I love seeing the right invite chosen that matches both the style and venue for the event.

I can’t show you the exact invitation that Leah and Sean have chosen as they have not been mailed yet to their guests, but it made me think of a great way to blog today about what to look for in an invite design.

Here are a few helpful tips in how to chose the right invitation design for your wedding or special event:

Black Tie Event

Choose Letterpress or Blind Embossed on 100% Cotton Paper. Black Ink is standard. the words”Black Tie” is added to the left hand corner of the invite.

Evening Ballroom Reception

Traditional Style

Choose and invitation that gives your guests a hint of what to expect from your event.

The invite, if possible, should show what attire is appropriate, which is often the most asked questions from your guests.

Contemporary Style

There are so many contemporary styles to choose from. Pocket Fold, Tri-fold, Embossed and Monogram invitations

Outdoor Ceremony

Garden Wedding

Here is where you can have fun with your invitation. Find an invitation that matches your venue. Is it a home wedding? English Rose Garden? Local Park? There are literally hundreds of designs to choose from.

Beach or Destination Wedding

San Diego is a huge destination location! As with any destination invitation, add the extra pieces to give your guests the information that they need to have a great time as they celebrate your special event with you!
