A Few Wedding Invitation Ideas To Make Your Wedding Distinctive

A Few Wedding Invitation Ideas To Make Your Wedding Distinctive
By Donald Saunders

As we move into the twenty-first century we are leaving behind many of the traditions of the twentieth century, including many of the customs associated with the white wedding. Couples are seeking to personalize every aspect of their wedding today and to create a truly unique event wherever possible. It's no surprise therefore to find that couples are increasingly looking for new wedding invitation ideas.

It is already commonplace for many couples to dispense with the services of a professional printer and to purchase blank wedding stationery, either from their local supplier or through the Internet, and to produce their own wedding invitations using a home computer. This allows couples to stick with the traditional form of invitation but to save considerably on the cost. But what about those couples who are looking for a different way of inviting their guests altogether?

Well, to be honest nowadays you're really only limited by your imagination and just about anything you can think of can be used by way of a wedding invitation. Some couples are even choosing to send out email invitations. This is fine as long as all of your guests have access to a computer and regularly use email but, for most people, this is a quick and easy but perhaps not ideal solution.

The secret if you want something that is both personal and different is to stick with a printed or written (or perhaps even video or audio) invitation that can be sent through the regular postal service and to look for something special that you can send your guests which will give them the details that they need and provide them with a memento of the occasion.

One idea would be to use boxed invitations. These are essentially oversized invitations send in a box which allows you to include a range of items including bows and ribbons, photographs and even fresh flowers from your garden. This can certainly provide a stunning invitation but will also be expensive.

Another idea might be to use handmade paper for your invitations, possibly with dried flowers pressed into it. These delicate papers which are readily available today can be hand or flat printed to produce a very beautiful invitation.

To really make your invitations personal you could send each guest a personal video invitation. This is not as difficult or expensive as it sounds today and many home computers today have everything you need to record your message and burn it onto a CD ready for posting.

These are just a few of the many wedding invitation ideas that you will be able to generate with just a little bit of thought, but they will hopefully point you in the right direction.
