Your wedding invitations are the first glimpse your guests have into your special day. It’s not just about sharing the essential details; it’s also an opportunity to convey the style, personality, and theme of your Austin wedding. In this blog, we’ll explore the latest wedding invitation trends in the vibrant heart of Texas.
Typography Takes the Spotlight
1. Bold and Beautiful
Let’s talk about letters! Bold ones look fantastic. Imagine big, beautiful letters on your invitation. They create an instant impression and show your wedding’s unique style.
2. Calligraphy Flourishes
Elegant calligraphy adds a touch of romance to your invites. Whether it’s classic or modern calligraphy, it’s all about creating a sense of timelessness.
3. Whimsical Fonts
If you want your invitation to be more fun and casual, you can use whimsical fonts. They’re like fonts with a sense of humor, and they make people smile.
Colors That Stand Out
1. Moody and Mysterious
Picture dark and rich colors like burgundy (a deep red), navy blue, and emerald green. These colors create a mysterious and enchanting mood.
2. Natural Tones
Rustic and bohemian weddings (those with a relaxed and artistic vibe) often use earthy colors like terracotta (a reddish-brown), sage (a soft green), and mustard (a warm yellow). These colors make you feel close to nature.
3. Shiny Metallics
Imagine an invitation with a little bit of magic – gold, silver, or copper accents. They make your invitation feel fancy and a little bit royal.
Earth-Friendly Invitations
1. Recycled Materials
Couples are choosing invitations made from recycled paper, a sustainable choice that reflects their commitment to the environment.
2. Digital Invitations
In today’s digital world, people use smartphones and computers a lot. Digital invitations are like e-cards, and they’re kind to the planet too.
3. Plantable Invites
Plantable invitations are super exciting! They have seeds inside, so after your guest reads it, they can plant them to grow beautiful flowers. Isn’t that amazing?
Unique Shapes and Sizes
Invitations can be all sorts of shapes, not just rectangles. They can be circles or triangles. These different shapes make your invitation unique and fun.
Personalized Pictures
It’s like adding a picture of you and your partner. Or maybe a drawing of your wedding venue. This makes your invitation special.
Texture and Layers
Textures are like how things feel when you touch them. So, some invitations are bumpy or have layers of paper. Guests can touch and feel these cool invitations.
Practical Considerations
When selecting your wedding invitations, keep these practical tips in mind:
- Order Extras: Make sure to order extra invitations to account for last-minute additions and keepsakes.
- Proofreading: Carefully proofread your invitations, or ask a friend to help. A small typo can be a costly mistake.
- Mailing Time: Consider the mailing time, especially for destination weddings or those taking place during peak seasons.
