If something more minimal or classic fits with the vision of your wedding, I’d consider floral heart, elegant vintage foil, scrolling monogram foil or traditional script foil (pictured above).
The clear invitations available (particularly ornate calligraphy clear wedding invitations) struck me as a beautiful option if you want to do something unique and unexpected.
If you’re drawn to watercolor designs and delicate illustrations, the fairytale leaves and soft morning, and classical gardens sets are perfect options.
If you’re just not sure, you can always order samples to see your favorite styles. I’m a very visual person, so I like the option to hold a sample in my hand and experience it myself.
Of course, I’m drawn to options that showcase images as part of the design (a great way to use your engagement or wedding photos). Like modern polaroid and timeless romance (part of a neat Seal & Sends collection that streamlines the invitation process so that envelopes aren’t even necessary!).
Aside from the design, choosing the wording of my invitations to fit my particular circumstance seemed like a daunting task when I was selecting my own invitations. If you’d like the help of some examples, Basic Invite has a great resource for you here. The page helps answer common questions like:
Which name goes first on a wedding invitation?
What if my mother kept her maiden name?
Do I include professional titles?
And depending on the scope of what you need, you can freshen up on wedding etiquette, reference their wedding planner binder printable, or create a free wedding website.
Do you want some more happy news? There’s so much goodness waiting for you at Basic Invite after the wedding, like baby announcements, Christmas cards, and personal stationery (showcase that new monogram!).
