So, you're tying the knot? Congratulations!
Once you've said "yes" and picked a date, it's time to spread the word.
And what better way to do that than with a stunning wedding invitation?
But with so many options available, choosing the perfect style can be overwhelming.
Fear not, I’m here to guide you through the wonderful world of wedding invites!
Flat yet Fabulous: The Classic Flat Wedding Invitation
Let's start with the classic: the flat invitation.
This is a single, flat card that's simple, elegant, and timeless. It's perfect for couples who want a clean and understated look. These are a great choice if you want the traditional element of sending out a tactile paper invite, but allow you to keep it minimal and use it to sign post your guests to a wedding website. They can be single sided or double sided depending on how much information you want provide. Plus, it's often the most budget-friendly option, leaving you with more to spend on flowers (or shoes!).
Layer Up: The Elegant Layered Wedding Invite
Building on the classic flat invite.
Want to add a touch of sophistication?Then layered invitations are for you!
These involve creating a beautiful, layered effect with the use of multiple cards. Each layer can be a different colour and have different details on. You can then tie them all together with soft silky ribbons, fasten them with a gold tear drop clip, seal with a wax stamp or enclose in a printed vellum wrap for that luxurious feel. All of this adds depth and dimension to your invitation, making it feel extra special.
Unfold the Magic: Folded Wedding Invitations
Folded invitations are a popular choice, offering a fun and interactive element. They come in various styles with differing sizes, sections and sides to give you the optimum amount of space for your wedding day details.
The Grand Reveal: Gate Fold Invitations
My most popular fold style and for a truly dramatic effect, consider gate fold wedding invitations. These feature two outer panels that meet in the middle, creating a "gate" that opens to reveal the invitation details. It's like a mini curtain reveal for your big day!
They come in 5x7, A6 or square.
The Fun Bunch: Concertina and Z-Fold Invites
If you're looking for something a bit different, concertina (4 sections per side) and z-fold wedding invitations (3 sections per side) are a great choice. Concertina folds create multiple panels that fold out like an accordion, perfect for displaying a timeline of events, having a cut off RSVP card to return or a series of illustrations and information to tell your wedding day story. Z-folds are similar but have a "zig-zag" fold, creating a unique and eye-catching design, this might suit you better if you have slightly less information to provide but still want a touch of uniqueness about your invites.
They come in A6.
The Classic: Greeting card style standard fold invitation
This is the true classic of wedding invites, with the fold in the centre of the card to open like a book or greetings card. This provides plenty of space for all your details and can act as a chapter in your wedding day, with a front cover, internal pages and back cover.
They come in 5x7, A6 or square.
Choosing the Right Style
With so many options, how do you choose the perfect wedding invite style for your wedding? Consider these factors:
Your Wedding Theme: Match your wedding invitations to the overall style of your wedding, whether it's classic, modern, romantic, traditional, rustic, or bohemian.
Your information: How much information are you providing for your guests, if you want all of the details on the invitations, then a folded or layered card will meet your needs the best.
Your Budget: Flat wedding invitations are generally the most affordable, while layered and more intricate folds can be pricier.
Your Personal Style: Ultimately, the best wedding invitation is one that reflects you as a couple.
No matter what style you choose, remember that your wedding invitation is the first glimpse your guests will have of your big day.
