Easy ideas for wedding invitation elegance

A wedding can be a wonderful occasion for the bride, groom and guests, and using a creatively designed yet elegant invitation can set the tone for the day. Stationery printers will have a wide assortment to choose from, and here are a few tips to help craft stylish invitations.

The first step in creating a stylish wedding invitation is to consider the wording used. Formal speech lends a sumptuous air, as does using an appropriate font or fonts. It’s a good idea to use no more than two or three lettering styles at the most, as this will help to keep the item easy to read and not look cluttered.

When it comes to the wording of the piece, less really is more. Make sure the time, location and other important details are correct and easy to read, and include a contact number should the recipient have any questions.

Consideration should also be given to color choice. While some couples like to use their own wedding colors, others prefer a black and white theme. These can look especially good when used with the right borders. A printing services provider will be able to offer helpful advice about this, and if needed, can even craft a custom color for the occasion.

Paper choice is also important when planning an elegant invitation. Heavier weights of paper have a luxurious feel, and lend themselves well to this sort of printing. An assortment of finishes is available, ranging from matte to glossy and everything in between.

Finally, consideration should also be given to the envelope. A heavy weight stock, such as a 24lb premium ultra-white paper stock is appropriate, and this can be combined with a specially designed sticker to seal it closed. Sheet stickers are a great choice for this, and a print company will have lots of ideas for inspiration.

When it comes to crafting an elegant wedding invitation, simple is often best, and a local printing company will be able to lend a helping hand to the happy couple.
