Simple. Follow these 10 proven tips to ensure you end up with the perfect wedding invitation. Letâs start!
The invitation gives your guests a little peek into what your wedding will be like. So, this is all about how your invitation will accomplish that. Itâs easier than you think.
Whatâs your wedding theme? Enchanted forest, urban chic, romantic industrial vintage, ultra glam or beachy-boho. Great. Dark and moody with greenery designs fit a woodland wedding. Acrylic invites are all the rage for both ultra glam and urban weddings.

Finally, if color is not a key element, how about getting inspiration from the place or the event itself? Are you planning a destination or a brunch wedding? You can pick some elements like seashells, palm leaves or bagels and doughnuts to define the theme of your perfect wedding invitation!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and what one bride is crazy for, makes another bride run for the hills. So, donât worry if you are the only one that likes them. Itâs your wedding after all.
Search for the overall look and feel of the invite. Trendy brides would probably kill for acrylic invites or moody colored invitations. Glam weddings may call for shimmery pocketfolds or gold foil stamped laser cut invitations.

Your printer will need your choice of invitation layout and font pairing. Donât despair. Letâs decide this ahead of time and not at the last minute. These two elements are crucial to the look of your invitations.
The layout refers to the text distribution on the printed pieces. It could be centered, flushed left or right or both! The font pairing is your choice of fonts. Both are super important to get the look you want.
There are different font types and they can be Sans Serif, Serif, Slab Serif, Script, Blackletter, Mono, Hand and Decorative. Unless you are going for a Goth look and feel, drop the Blackletter.

Sans Serif fonts, especially more geometric ones, give a more modern and industrial vibe. A great example is the Eurostile typekit, designed by Aldo Novarese in 1962. It boasts square shapes and round edges giving a sense of modern architecture. Italicized fonts are perfect for a more classic style. And the mix of both is out of this world!
Also, fonts are the latest wedding trend filling up *all* your feeds this year so you may want to play with a few combos to see what strikes your fancy. Pair a couple of fonts, one for the names and the other for the body of the invitation.
No matter what the invitation sample you have seen has on it, you are free to use any font and layout you want.
If you plan on inviting everybody to the religious ceremony but only a few to the wedding reception, you should consider adding a reception card to your invitation set. It is less expensive than printing two sets of invitations with different text. Another reason to use the reception card that you are fancy and want to impress your guests with all these cute cards. đ
Letâs talk about the RSVP. If you need your guests to mail you back their response, you will have to provide them with the RSVP card and a little postage-paid envelope for them to fill out and mail back. If youâd rather have them confirm their assistance via text, email or phone, you can add an RSVP line of text to your invitation card and avoid the extra expense.

so helpful!
I am engaged and will be getting married in a few months, so I need to choose wedding invitations to send out. You make a great point that you should think about your wedding theme for the card because our wedding is going to be vintage and romantic. Also, I appreciate that you mention choosing a great envelope that fits with the theme because this is what your guests will see first and it adds the perfect polished look to the invitation.
Thank you Rosie!!!
