There is nothing wrong with sending out traditional wedding invitations per se, but it is a lot more fun to send and receive printed wedding invitations with a more creative approach. Creatively printed wedding invitations are far more memorable than traditional wedding invitations and they are truly a joy to find in the mailbox. Unfortunately, some future brides and grooms may lack the creativity necessary to send out interesting invites. If this description fits you, check out the below ideas for a unique take on printed wedding invitations.
Tropical Themes
Are you holding a getaway wedding in a tropical location? If so, a tropical theme will be perfect for your wedding invitations. For a wedding on the beach, look for a print that includes pictures of ocean waves, palm trees or seashells. A tropical wedding invitation is the best way to get guests excited about your wedding getaway.
Thermography
This unique approach to printing invites involves raised printing that looks engraved. Thermography invitations are made by heating wet ink with a powder compound to form an engraved style that is at once vintage and chic.
Viva Las Vegas!
Are you planning a Vegas wedding? A classic wedding invite simply won’t fit in with your wedding. Instead, look for a printed wedding invitation that includes one of the signature Vegas landmarks. Examples include the infamous Vegas sign, a panorama of the Strip, the Bellagio fountains or a deck of cards next to a pile of gambling chips.
Chinese Symbols
Whether or not you are an Asian couple, you’ll find that wedding invites with Chinese symbols are stunning and memorable. Most couples opting for this type of card use the double happiness symbol, made with a golden hot stamp. This symbol is traditionally seen on wedding invites and cards in China, but can easily be adapted for the UK wedding.
Henna Design
This is another ethnic approach to printed wedding invitations that works well for United Kingdom invites. Henna looks almost as beautiful on a wedding invitation as it does on a woman’s hands. And with henna invites, your colour options are unlimited.
