Unique Wedding Invitations
Posted by Sarah on 20 Jan 2008 | Tagged as: Invitation Cards |
While some think about cutting costs, others may want to splurge on unique wedding invitations. There are two ways to be unique– you can be funny or you can be incredibly creative.? They may have some fancy paper thrown in there and they may even have some other kind of announcement thrown in there to.? When you really think about your lack of competition the chance to develop some truly unique wedding invitations is not that difficult.? You can either go with a theme wedding invitation or very personal ones.
If you are good with drawing or graphic design, you may draw a picture of the bride and groom, sprinkled with some other artistic design and add the details. I?ve loved receiving invitations from my friend to her parties. They are always beautifully designed and printed on postcards. For weddings, you can use the same idea. There are so many beautiful designs on the internet, where you can spend less than 5 dollars buying stock pictures. With any photo editing software and a little bit of artistic talent, you can easily come up with a great design without spending money on hiring a graphic designer.
You can also get ideas from the media. Whenever there is a movie to be released, the PR firms will spend a great deal of money on the party kit for the media. Sometimes, if you come across such ideas in magazines, you can simply modify the ideas for your wedding party.
A couple had gone to New England in the fall and among the leaves and the beautiful background he finally popped the question.? Neither said anything about what they were going to do for their wedding invitations, but a few months later I received one of the most unique wedding invitations I had ever seen in my life.?
The invitation had a huge colorful leaf in the middle of it and the words were printed over it.? They had collected fallen leaves from their trip where he popped the question and made them part of their unique wedding invitations.? This is a great way to make everyone part of the entire process but it must have been difficult to find a place to store all of those leaves!?
It Is All About You Two
Let?s say that a couple is getting ready to get married and they love going to the movies.? An idea for their unique wedding invitations could be that the invitation is in the form of a movie ad and the reply card looks like a big theater ticket. These are the kinds of ideas you can use when you are trying to plan your unique wedding invitations and you might as well put a little thought into them because some people keep these invitations for the rest of their lives and you might as well give them something unique to hold on to.
Whatever your choice is, having a creative wedding card or a standard wedding invitation from the printers, it all boils down to the time you have. Focus on what is important to you, and you will be a happy bride or groom.
