6 Ways to Personalize Your Wedding Invitations
When it comes to your wedding invitations, they should represent you, your fiancé, and your wedding day. This is basically your one chance in life to truly showcase and represent who you are as a couple through an event thrown by you and for you! So it should be special, incorporate your favorite things, and showcase what makes you the amazing couple you are. And the way to do that is to represent your personality and bring in some creativity to your wedding day, especially in your invitations! So how do we do that? I'm so glad you asked.
To kick off our discussion I want to mention just a brief thought on custom versus predesigned wedding invitations. The only way you are going to be able to capture every detail the way that you want it and so that it truly showcases your personality is through custom invitation design. You can definitely piece together an amazingly beautiful suite via predesigned stationery (and I have The Collections Suites coming soon just for that!), but I'm talking personality-infused, so totally you, invitations. And the way to make that happen is with a custom stationer by your side. So now that I’ve mentioned that, let's talk about what personality and creativity in your invitations looks like!
Personality and creativity starts with including things that are important to you in your invitation design - I'm listing out several ways to do this below, but these are certainly not all of the options!
1 | Your love story
Did you meet jogging in Central Park, go on a blind date to an ice cream shop, or find your soulmate at your alma mater? Then we need to include those details - a drawing of Central Park, ice cream references, and your favorite things about campus. See how fun this is?!
2 | What you enjoy doing together/your passions
If rock climbing is your passion and favorite recreational activity together and you are a laid back couple, then let's figure out a way to include it on a fun details card. Or maybe classical opera is your thing - we can do that too!
3 | Your favorite songs
Is "You and Me" by Dave Matthews Band your song? Then that just calls for a song lyric envelope liner! Or we can include some lyrics on your RSVP or details card, or did someone just say custom map? Oh, that was me! We can do fun things with that one.
4 | Favorite places to travel
Did you trek across Europe when he proposed and have the time of your life? Let's pull in some influences from those places that have such special meaning to you!
5 | Details about your venue or city
Having a destination wedding or getting married in your hometown? We can pull in venue illustrations and quirky details about your wedding destination on a custom map or the other invitation pieces!
6 | Embellishments
Another way to include personality and creativity is through embellishments and extra details. So we can include things like wax seals, vellum, and silk ribbon which allow us even more places to include things that are important to you. Like an olive branch wax seal because he proposed in Tuscany or a vellum overlay with a custom illustration of your wedding venue. They also just make the entire suite more fun and visually interesting, especially for your guests.
I hope this gives you a little glimpse into all of the ways we can infuse your personality into your designs whether in subtle or completely fun and creative ways! Inquire below to get started on your personality-driven suite!
