Spring, in theory, is less than a few months away. If you are planning a spring or summer wedding, the past two months of excessive snow and ice have been the perfect time to plan it. While several factors go into planning and creating a wedding, the thought of saying your vows in the beauty of spring or summer is motivation to get you through the cold. With a wedding a couple of months away, have you thought about what you will do for invitations?
Many with weddings in spring or summer go for a seasonal theme. Spring wedding invitations typically use a pastel color scheme or display traditional images of spring birds, flowers, or butterflies. Although similar colors and images are used for summer, beach themes are one variation, and those planning to hold a ceremony and reception on the sand and by the surf often include this in the wedding invitation design. Tan and turquoise, shells, or an image of the ocean conveys this theme to guests.
If you are planning on a seasonal theme, the design of the invitations should be direct. But what if a theme is not used? Sometimes a theme seems less adult and more like an idea for a child's party, and you, as the bride, want an attractive and memorable design for invitations. With so many choices out there, from simple and solid-color paper with an imprinted border to bold patterns, which is best?
By now, you and your husband-to-be have already decided on the type of wedding you're having. In today's economic climate, a casual ceremony and reception with family and close friends is reasonable. If you have the money to spend, a formal wedding, with elaborate decorations and a banquet hall with catered meals, may be in your budget. The type of wedding affects more than the wording inside the card. Casual wedding invitations often conserve paper, with wording on two sides of a card. Formal invitations include a main card and several others attached for directions, the menu, and responding.
To not look old fashioned or out of style, consider some of the current trends for wedding invitations. Bold colors and style characterize many wedding invitations. Gold, considered brash but bright, replaces silver as a highlight color, or can be used for the full color of the invitation. White backgrounds are also too modest. Instead, go with a concentrated and unusual shade, such as turquoise or magenta, and put your text over it. For some graphics or variation, silhouettes are popular, and nearly any silhouette of an image can be added to the front of your invitation.
