Often times, the invitation to your wedding is the first clue your guests get on the vision of your big day. Years ago couples would sit down with a giant book of invitations and pick one that best suited them. Many were similar, perhaps different colors or flower designs, but had a familiar tone to them.
Today’s weddings are all about standing out, being different and putting your own touch on a traditional day. There are several different directions you can go with invitations, and here are a few ideas to get you started.
Not all invitations must be a 5×7 or a single fold card. Think outside the box for a unique format for your invitation. This multi-fold invite gives lots of room for all your important wedding details as well as some fun facts on the bride and groom.

An invitation highlighting your wedding location is a great idea, especially if guests will be traveling from out of town. Whether you live in another state, or are choosing a destination wedding, invitations with the details for the wedding city are a fun touch.
While some couples may chose a unique format or size to their wedding invitation, others may choose a unique material for printing. These elegant invitations were printed on beautiful handkerchiefs. This may be a great idea for a small, intimate wedding, and would also serve as a keepsake for your guests.
Lighten up the tone with a fun approach to your wedding invite. Choose something that showcases your personality. Maybe your dream wedding is less formal than most. Show it off in your invitations. Make your guests look forward to the party they are about to be a part of.
There are many ways to “be green” or give back while planning your wedding. These adorable invitations are actually plantable. Once the guests attend your wedding they can plant the invitation, which contains seeds, for a special touch to their garden. Again, these serve as a fantastic keepsake for your friends and family.
Keep it classy, simple. If the outrageous, different, bold invitations are not your style you can surely keep it clean and classic with the many simplistic designs available. A bright, crisp invitation is likely to make just as much as an impact as any style.
The important thing to remember is, this is your day! Choose a design that works best with your ideas. With so many great options available, you are sure to find a invitation that will be a perfect match!
