There are a number of ways you can make your wedding invitations more personal to you, this article will discuss just some of this methods and give you some ideas to get your own creative juices flowing.
Of course if your wedding budget allows you could get bespoke wedding invitations, these are invitations designed as a one off just for you and tend to be quite expensive. Or if you really do have a very limited budget, you create your wedding invitations this is very time consuming but could be very rewarding with good planning and a the right materials.
If you fall in-between these 2 extremes there are other options to ensure your wedding invitations are unique to you. For example some designs use the names of the bride and groom as a focal point, creating a personalised wedding invitation. This makes a refreshing change from having the obvious phrase wedding invitation” printed on the front of the card. You can see this type of design at Wedding And Gems Invites by clicking the link at the bottom of this article.
If you’re planning on having your wedding invitations created for you ask if you can add your own wording instead of using standard wording. Most companies will allow this without an extra cost. Standard wedding invitation wording tends to be quite formal and rigid so shake things up a little and let your joint personality shine through.
Some wedding stationery companies offer to print your wedding guests’ names free of charge, if the company you choose to go with, does offer this service, grab it. Not only will it save you time not having to hand writing all the invitations but it will add a touch of class to your wedding invitations too.
You could always make your wedding invitations more unique by placing something into the envelope to fall out when the invitation is opened such as a thought invoking verse to make the recipient smile. Stay away from adding glitter or confetti as this will only irritate your guests when they have to get out the vacuum cleaner to clean up the mess.
You can also personalise the stamp that you add to your wedding invitation. This can be done on the Royal Mail website by uploading a photograph. I think this is a really nice finishing touch to help make your wedding invites personal to you.
