Invitations are one of the most important parts of the wedding planning process. The card design will set the tone for the big day, so make sure it illustrates your love story in a personalised, one-of-a-kind way. The invitation suite will tell your guests everything they need to know about the upcoming special day- the wedding theme, the general vibe, who they can bring, what they should wear, and, of course, the day, location and time of the event.
Whether you’re having a virtual, destination, seasonal, classic, or themed wedding, your wedding invitation design should reflect you and your future spouse and prepare your guests for the wedding day. The RSVP cards and other paper goods contained in the invite don’t have to be complicated or expensive to get everyone excited for the big day.
Wedding Invitation Ideas
Choosing the mood and planning your perfect wedding is no easy task. It has to be an expression of both partners and their love, needs to satisfy the guests, and perhaps most importantly, should stay within your budget. Get started to get inspired with wedding stationery and invitations for any theme. Photobook Australia’s designs are great for any personality and wedding theme, and you can also customise your wedding invitation wording to match.
Rustic Wedding Invitations
Whether your chic rustic wedding is going to be held in a barn or outdoors, this unique wedding theme is great for those inspired by nature and the countryside. Add as much natural wood, plant life, and string lights into your wedding day decor as possible to create the ideal rustic vibe for your nuptials. Make sure to reflect each of these elements in your rustic wedding invitations by adding a dark brown or light grey background colour, floral imagery if you so desire, and any other embellishments that indicate what your wedding might look like.
Classic Wedding Invitations
Opt for simple and classic wedding invitations if your wedding theme is on the more traditional side. Etch the names of the happy couple or monogram their initials for a plain yet elegant wedding invitation. Or, paste one or more photos from the engagement photoshoot onto the cover of the invitation, while keeping the other cards in the suite simple and strictly business. Go classic to give your wedding invitations a simple, yet unforgettable look and style that’ll charm your future guests.
Seasonal Wedding Invitations
Once you’ve chosen your wedding date, you know which season it will occur in. Make choosing a theme easier by going for a seasonal wedding that matches the weather outside. Go for autumnal colours and rustic symbolism for your fall wedding invitations; choose blues, silvers, and snowflakes for a winter wonderland ceremony; or go for tropical wedding invites for summer nuptials by the beach or out in nature. Choose floral imagery for a spring wedding and embrace pastels for the background of the wedding invitation cards or the typography for the suite.
Watercolour Wedding Invitations
For a soft, romantic wedding vibe, go for watercolour invitations that reflect other elements of your wedding decor and theme. Add florals and plant life in watercolour if your wedding is going to be outdoors, surrounded by nature. Or, choose warm shades like yellows, oranges, and browns for an outdoor autumnal wedding. For a beach or lakeside wedding, add shades of blue and light to a dark ombre to represent the water. Whether you depict concrete images in watercolour or opt for beautiful colour combinations, watercolour invites will be perfect for the dreamy, abstract, or whimsical wedding.
Vintage Wedding Invitations
Start your fairy tale wedding the right way with vintage wedding invitations that reflect your taste for the old-fashioned and retro things in life. Embrace floral fringes and lace adornments on your cards, or opt for laser cut wedding invitations to take that iridescent lace look to the next level. If lace and florals aren’t your styles, bring back the 1920s with foil-stamped and shimmery trimmings for an art deco aesthetic. Or, get a little modern with 1950s retro-inspired invites that feature bright colours, sharp lines, and whimsical illustrations. Go for a simple cover on the actual invitation cards with the future spouses’ names written in an elegant cursive font.
