Wedding Invitation Ideas for Destination Celebrations
A growing trend for summer and fall brides is picking a gorgeous destination wedding location. Many of these same brides are trying to find interesting and innovative ways to incorporate their destination wedding location and theme into their letterpress wedding invitation design. This is a great idea, mixing the location and wedding invitation styles is a great way to not only announce the destination, but impress your guests too.
When thinking about combining your destination wedding location with your letterpress wedding invitation design, there are a couple important things to keep in mind.
Pick a Color You Like
Regardless of well it seems to fit, if you do not like the color that your invitations will be then forget it. First pick a color that works for you, then try to match that with your destination location.
Think about Add-ons
A great way to spice up your destination wedding invitation is to include some add-ons that represent the location or theme of your wedding. Different colored ribbons, sea shells, snowflakes or colorful leaves, whatever the location make sure to put a little bit of that flavor into your letterpress wedding invitation design.
Remember the Season
If you are planning a winter wedding in Aspen, chances are you will be saying “I Do” in knee-deep snow. Don’t forget that no matter where you are going to hold your ceremony, the seasons change. The time of year you are getting married should be represented on your invitation style.
Don’t Forget the Envelopes
Envelopes are an important part of setting the stage for a destination wedding invitation. Have fun when designing them and do not be afraid to think outside the box. Decorations, colored ink or stamps (the non postage kind) or fun pictures can all be added to increase the destination thrill. But make sure to consult your local post office before creating 100+ of them, you never know what they won’t send these days.
