Wedding Invitation Cards

Hi Ladies and Guys,
I know that usually the hotels here provides the wedding invitation cards if you hold your wedding reception/dinner in their hotels but if you are thinking of having and giving your own cards some oomph - here're some ideas :

CHOOSING YOUR COLOURS
To make the most important information stand out, limit the number of colours you use to two or three.

Don't force all the pieces of your invitation to be an exact match. Think coordinate, not match.

FONT
The font you choose can dramatically affect the style your invitation communicates.

First and foremost, it must be easy to read.

Second, the font you select should tell the same story as the colour and paper choices you've made so far.

Limit the number of fonts to one or two. Too many types of fonts looks like a hodge-podge. Use the bold, italic and bold italic font styles to create different texturers without using a second or third font.
If you use too many fonts, you risk making your invitation cards look amateurish and illegible. If you think something looks funny, it probably is.





These cards' samplings are just some ideas that you can tweak here and there to make it your very own unique wedding invitation cards.


Thumbprint Invitation (give your invitations your own personal mark - literally)

Calendar Card

Multilayered Invitation

Here's The Scoop Invitation (if both of you love ice-cream, this sure is a cute card)

Pantone-Style Swatch Card (this invitation is based on the Pantone swatch booklets that designers use)

Photo-Strips Invitation

Flip-Flop Beachy Card (the breezy and delightfully kitchy attitude that this card conveys reflects the casual and vibrant atmosphere)

Two-Halves Card (two halves join together to become one entirely neat invitaiton)

Thru-The-Years Invitation (you can adapt this idea to your own wedding invitation card)

A Modern Wedding Invitation

Chinoserie Invitation (this is one of my fave - this is so unique especially for your Chinese Wedding Dinner - this invitation makes a dazzling impression of sophistication)

Vertical Artisan Card (for a more vibrant look, this can also be made with salmon-coloured stock to match the salmon-coloured envelopes)

Where in the World? Destination Invitation (this is my absolute favourite - inviting your frens? the mounting excitement of a trip to take part in a fren's wedding is enhanced by the brightly coloured tags and retro luxury liner logos - or just announcing that both of you will be going away...)
