How to be Smart, Creative and Stylish in 2010!

As 21st century families are getting more sophisticated and diverse, the conventional wedding invitation styles, themes and designs are becoming outdated. Today’s modern brides are looking for new wedding invitation designs and are responsible for developing some really amazing new trends. We have noticed an increase in personalized colors, decorations, custom modifications and new styles that are making brides dreams into invitation set realities.

1) Embrace the Multi-Cultural

Be proud of your heritage and celebrate it by integrating it into your wedding invitation design. If your wedding is going to have any special cultural celebrations or ceremonies, think about incorporating these themes into your invitation set.

2) Exciting New Fonts

Do not feel compelled to choose the ordinary fonts that most wedding invitations use. Any professional designer will have thousands of unique fonts available, so don’t feel embarrassed about asking for something non-traditional.

3) Think Colors Colors Colors

Using different color combinations in your invitation is a great way to break from the old style of black text on white paper. There are endless varieties of paper and color combos, so feel free to mix and match as you see fit. Think about the season, the color themes of your wedding, what flowers you will be using or the colors of your bridesmaid dresses. Any of these colors will integrate wonderfully into your wedding invitation set.

4) Forget The Conventional Sizes and Shapes

While I appreciate the typical 5” x 7” invitation size, modern brides are mixing the format up a bit. Think about custom designing your own invitation style to make a never before seen shape or size. The impact these non-traditional invitations have on their guests is extraordinary.

5) Use New Materials

One of the best ways to ensure your wedding invitation sets you apart from the crowd? Mix it up with some creative non-conventional flare decorations! DIY savvy brides are spicing up their invitation designs with extra materials that are traditionally not found on wedding invitations.

Whatever type of wedding invitation design you want, the most important thing is that you are happy, it reflects your personality and wedding ceremony, while at the same time properly setting the tone for your wedding guests. Do what makes you the most comfortable, but at the same time do not be afraid to explore, ask your printer about their customizable options and think creatively!
