Eye-Catching Wedding Invitation Ideas
When thinking about a wedding, everyone seems to put the
big details in the forefront. Sure the ceremony and the venue
are a big deal, as are the reception and its location. However,
what about the small things that amount to so much? Take
for example the invitations. After all, without these who
would come to the big event? Who would even know about it?
Picking
out just the right invitation can be a very tedious task. With so many options these days and so many stationery
stores within reach, where does one go to get the best deals
and the most bang for their buck? What you need to look for
is a place that specializes in the unique and different approach
to invitations. The place should offer many different ideas
and put a new spin on the idea of invitations. Why would you
want to have the same invitations that your best friend used
two months ago, or even worse what your parents used in 1962.
Clearly you don’t, so here are some original ideas to make
your event stand out from the rest. The idea of having a great
wedding invitation is to capture people’s attention. Without
their attention on the event, they will be more likely to forget
it before it even happens. So the best thing to do is grab
their attention and hold it. There are many ways to retain
some ones attention; the best way is to offer something original
and unique.
Computer Design
As you may or may not know, computers do the bulk of the work
when it comes o designing invitations. People are on time frames
when preparing for a wedding and it basically starts here.
A really good invitation shop will be willing to sit down with
you and design something extraordinary, after all this will
bring more business. An eye-catching design or theme will put
uniqueness front and center and not long be forgotten. You
could work in conjunction with the stationary store, or bring
in a template created at home on your own pc.
Photo Inlay
You want your invitations to be highly personalized. How about
using a favorite photo? You can try a black and white or sepia-tone
picture and have it on your invitation. Better yet, if you
are good with the computer, it is quite possible that you can
make this type of invitation on your own. Many people incorporate
their engagement photo into the inlay of the invitation. This
makes for a wonderful touch and keeps the quaint and special
moments alive.
Scrolled Cloth
This idea has not been used in some time, perhaps even a couple
of centuries. What a way to draw attention though having your
invitation delicately printed on a fine sheet of clothe and
rolled in a scroll fashion as the Greeks and Romans once did.
This idea may not be for all however, this is the intention.
You want it to be unique to have the attention this day deserves.
This can easily double as the invitation and the wedding program.
Engraving
The idea of engraving your invitation on a small clear sheet
of acrylic or glass is a very untraditional method of getting
the point across. This would be elegant and original all at
the same time. You can almost bet no one you know have used
this method of invitation before, you could be the first. This
would make for a wonderful keepsake for the guests as well
and you can assure it will not likely be tossed out.
Original Artwork
Have you ever thought about getting something done by a professional
artist? This would make for a wonderful invitation, as it surely
would be original. The artist could do something up for you,
of your choice then have it copied professionally and printed
on all your invitations and perhaps even your programs as well.
Ancient Japanese Leaf pressings
The idea that the Japanese developed so many years ago to
press and store leaves and flowers, is still alive today many
do this as hobby. What a wonderful idea this would be if you
could incorporate it in an invitation. By having the pressed
leaves of your choice or small flowers you would be adding
a romantic and natural touch to your invitations.
