Unique Wedding Invitation

You're hunting for that unique wedding invitation that will reflect the personalities and tastes of the two of you and will give your family and friends a taste of your upcoming wedding. The jungle of wedding invitations is not a place for the weak and unsure. Unique wedding invitations are almost an extinct breed and there is no avoiding browsing the dull and unexciting designs on your venture to find 'The One'. Salvation will eventually arrive but only after hours of exhaustive research. However once you narrow in on a truly unique wedding invitation, happiness (and relief) is guaranteed. Here are a few tips to help you on your quest:

Tame the Theme
Have you chosen a special theme for your wedding? Whether it be Beach, Vintage, Garden, 1940's or a special colour combination, choosing matching stationery will enhance that theme and will make it all the more tangible. You could choose all stationery accompanying your invitation in matching designs to complete the look. Your table décor will look amazing with table cards, menus and table number cards all coordinated. Add to that a small floral bouquet or any other complementary table decoration and you have that unique look. If you're planning to have a dessert table, ask your stationer to design matching cards with the names of the cakes and sweets.

Who's This in the Photo?
While not particularly traditional, photo wedding invitations are gaining popularity because they really are unique to you and your fiancé. For many of the guests who may never have met the bride or groom this is a nice way to establish what he or she looks like prior to the big day. In the hand of a good designer, photo wedding invitations can be attractive, fun and yes, rather special.

Are You the Typography Type?
Unique wedding invitations can be created by choosing a stand out signature typography. The selection of fonts available nowadays is staggering and can make all the difference to the invitation. Varied layouts, font types and font sizes can make an invitation jump out. Have fun experimenting yourself or alternatively ask the stationer to use different layout and fonts to create a distinctive look. For a more traditional wedding invitation you might want to try an older style, cursive font, while for the less traditional you may want to use a contemporary all CAPITALS font. Have a play, and see what you can come up with!

TAGS - Tell a Good Story
Do you have a story to tell? It could be the story of how you met or maybe the story of how he proposed or even a mutual hobby or interest that the two of you share. By telling your story you make your invitations personal. And a personal invitation creates a unique invitation. The city that you live in or your honeymoon destination can also be great inspirations for your wedding invitation.
