Ten Unusual Wedding Invitation Ideas
How to choose wedding invitations? This is the first contact your guests will receive from you about your wedding, so it is really important that the invitation style reflects the style of the wedding. Invitations convey a whole amount of information about the personal touches you are making to your big day, and this is your opportunity to set the scene. Most couples opt for the traditional wedding invitation designed by your chosen wedding stationer, or ordered online from a web company. Some will go down the diy route and design their own.
For couples who want to ‘think outside the box’ and have something different from the conventional invitation below are ten ideas to stand out from the crowd. Some are just plain nutty and others are fun but all will provide complete freedom to be as creative as you like with your invitation.
