Wedding Invitation Inspo – A Great First Impression
Looking for some Wedding Invitation Inspo? Look no further. Invitations give your guests a little peek of what to expect on the big day.
Wedding invitation inspo can come from just about anywhere. But there are some styles, colours, fonts, and textures that are really making a big impact this season. Your invites are important! This is one of the key ways to build anticipation for your upcoming nuptials.

You need not spend a fortune on wedding invitations. Yes, some of the hottest trends are a little pricier, but many are affordable and can even be an exciting DIY project, if you so please.
Your wording is especially important, too. There is always key information you must convey. You don’t want to distract from the design, so set up a wedding website for all the info and add the link to your physical invitation. That way, everything they need to know is right in one place.
Alright, let’s get started!

Eco-friendly materials
It’s all about sustainability nowadays. You could go with a sustainably sourced, recycled card and vegetable-based inks. Perhaps even attach a piece of nature to it – a flower, twig, shell etc. If not, a paperless digital invitation is also an option.

Watercolours
While pastel watercolours are still in the mix and will always be popular, wedding stationers are now turning to moodier shades like charcoal or burgundy. These create a rich finish and tell your guests to expect a contemporary wedding.

Bespoke Art
Personalised weddings reflecting each couple has increased dramatically in popularity. Many couples love the idea of every element in their wedding reflecting themselves. It is very trendy to hire someone to create a bespoke illustration for your stationery – invitations, programs, menus. It can be an illustration of your venue, a symbol that you love, or anything you feel reflects you best as a couple.

Minimalist
If you want modern elegance, this is the style for you. Even with a minimalist design, use pops of colour as a preview of your ceremony and reception palette.
