Overview of Modern Wedding Invitations By Jeff McDougall

We list below some features of the modern invitations for your consideration:

• Lettering styles

Larger and perhaps fancier fonts are utilized for emphasis of the names of the couple on the invitation.

• Ink colors

An ink color in contrast is generally used for highlighting certain aspects such as the couple's name on the invitation.

• Pockets

This type which has become more fashionable now is provided with a pocket for the wedding invitation and sometimes another pocket for other enclosures such as reception cards, reply cards, etc.

• Self-mailing

This type doesn't need an envelope as it folds into a self-mailing article itself. Some types may be provided with envelopment, sometimes colored, which enwraps the invitation items for easy mailing. Yet another 'seal-n-send' type can be folded and sealed to form a mailing article.

• Paper colors

You can create unique invitations by choosing bold, bright paper colors and combining them to produce a stunning effect. It has become very easy now to make your invitations personal by employing various colors in paper, ink or design. You can also have matching colored envelopes. Ensure that the chosen ink color is in agreement with the color of the paper.

• Different shapes and sizes

You can choose invitations in distinctive shapes like squares or in unfamiliar sizes like tea length.

• Patterns

Patterns are considered stylish in the design of wedding invitations, and include retro motifs and paisleys.

• Recycled paper

If you're more environment conscious, you can print your invitations on a particular choice of yours in the many varieties of recycled papers.

• Decorations

Ribbons can be used as decorations on wedding invitation to bring an extra special effect.

People's ideas about modern wedding invitations may differ, but the trends indicated above are some options which will certainly make an invitation appear more contemporary. They will help you to create invitations reflecting your personal style and taste.

Modified DIY Wedding Invitations

If you're not too sure of your crafting skills, but still want those unique invitations, you can buy some 'mix and match' invitations from a wedding invitation dealer. Most dealers offer options in styles and colors of cards and ink; so you can customize the wedding invitations as you like. This is the quickest and easiest method to create some personalized invitations at less cost. You need not worry about your home printer failing in between, or strain yourself in making the whole lot of invitations, when each one of them has ten stages in their creation.

If you're still interested to show your skill, you can add some individual details such as stickers, rhinestones, seashells or glitter, to display the style of your wedding.

Whatever type you choose, let your DIY invitations offer your guests a foretaste of your classic, modern, beautiful or exciting wedding ceremonies they can anticipate.
