Having a themed wedding provides for a unique wedding experience, one that you, your friends and family are sure to never forget. A themed wedding can also offer you a plethora of choices for your decisions, starting with themed wedding invitations. Let’s look at a few examples of themed wedding invitations.
Classic/Traditional Wedding
A classic / traditional wedding can also be viewed as a themed wedding! If you are thinking about going with an grown-up style, you should choose invitations that match that thought. Perfectly scripted fonts on foil paper or cursive fonts on plain white paper stock with a textured border are both excellent examples of a classically themed wedding. You may also choose from a pink or purple so you can offset the more traditional white.
Everything is blooming roses
Flowers are a quintessential part of any wedding, and many couples choose roses as their wedding flower. Roses, along with calla lilies and daisies are the three most well loved flower choices for weddings today. This common choice doesn’t have to be ordinary by any means. You may want to also reckon about taking your lilies, roses and daisies and putting them on your wedding invitations. Yes, this may be a common theme, but by choosing these gorgeous wedding invitations, embossed, embellished or embedded in a gorgeous color of card stock paper, they can grant you with the opening to a beauty inspired wedding.
Autumn weddings
Having an autumn wedding offers plenty of choices for themed wedding invitations. With gorgeous and rich colors exploding in the fall, you can choose some of these impressive tones to accent your invitations. Colors of gold, dark red, browns and olive greens can offset each other perfectly. Couple these bold colors with seasonal aspects like leaves, trees, pine cones and the fantastic outdoors and you have a gorgeous wedding invitation.
Winter weddings
Winter wedding themes offer the unique clean aspect of crisp white coupled with icy blues. Snow, ice and frost may also be gorgeous accents to your winter themed wedding invitations.
Your wedding destination
If you are hosting your wedding at a trip destination, do not be worried to use the destination as a theme for your invitations. If you are travelling somewhere warm and sunny for your wedding, use sandy beaches, sunshine and oceanic scenes to accent your invitations. Place together invites that grant a sneak peek at the rolling ocean encroaching on a sandy beach with the palm trees blowing in the warm breeze. Invite your guests to have some fun in the sun while celebrating your special day.
Western themes
Are you a western couple? Cowboy and cowgirl meet and ride off in the dusty sunset on a pair of magnificent horses? The couple is completely equipped with cowboy boots and hats. Use this theme in your wedding invitations to invite your friends to a western inspired wedding. Accents such as cowboy boots, cowboy and cowgirl silhouettes, spurs, cowboy hats and more can grant an fascinating embellishment for your wedding invitation theme. Horses, corrals and ropes can also be used to accent your western theme.
Like is in the air
Of course, many couples are going to choose like as the underlying theme of their wedding. It makes perfect sense; their like for each other is what makes this wedding doable. Like as a theme does not have to be dull. The first thing most people reckon of when they reckon “like” is hearts. Heart themed wedding invitations can array from intricate scripted hearts to chunky pink hearts and everything in between. Hearts with flower petals embossed on a high quality paper stock will give you an fascinating like-inspired themed wedding invitation.
A further choice for like-inspired invitations is interlocked rings. While this is common, it is no more ordinary than you are. Use interlocking rings as an accent in a deep shade of purple or blue to offset your other colors. This is where you can really get creative.
Your wedding should be your fairy tale romance, so choose something fascinating like horse drawn carriages or a surprising castle for the background of your invitations.
Clip art of couples and wedding parties is also a standard in the wedding invitation industry. But, you can mix this up and make it unique to your own wedding by using your own silhouettes as the background for your invitation.
Make your invitation your own
Regardless of the theme of your wedding, you can make a unique, individual wedding invitation that couples the theme of your wedding with your own personal style. Even if the by and large theme of your wedding is like or romance, take your own personal thoughts of what this means to you and find an invitation that speaks from the heart. Hearts, flowers, rings, silhouettes and more can all be used to embellish your day.
Choose textures and layers
Even ‘standard’ wedding invitations can be embellished and really ‘pop’ when you add some texture to the paper. You can also try layers of different textures and physical embellishments. Ribbons, rings and paper trimmings can add depth to any wedding invitation.
