Creative Invitations Set Theme for the Big Day

Couples Look to Make Good First Impression with Unique Invites

The first impression is the most important, whether it is meeting that perfect person or with wedding invitations. Sending out the right message with wedding invitations sets the tone for the entire event. Today's couples have many options when ordering their invitations and setting the theme for their weddings.

In an article on theknot.com written by Kate Wood entitled "Summer Weddings: 8 Hot Summer Wedding Trends" many new, fun wedding trends were explored. One of the trends was unexpected invitations. Wood said that letter pressed invitations in the classic colors of black and white are still elegant and popular, but she suggested using colors in a new and unexpected way on the invitations by reversing the typical invitation color scheme, for example using cream print on fuchsia-colored paper instead of vice versa.

"...Or mix it up -- do the cream-colored invite with fuchsia writing, and then a bright pink reply card with a cream-colored font," Wood wrote. "[Also] consider the material of your invite as well... Get fabric-printed invites, programs, and escort cards for a laid-back look."
