unique wedding invitations

Like any other things about your wedding, the paper for your invitations must be chosen very carefully. This is to ensure the clarity of the text and pictures and the accurateness of the colors. No matter how elegant and classy your wedding invitations are, they are for naught if you pick just any other kind of paper. And surely, you don’t want your wedding invitations to be a total failure. So to make sure you have the best wedding invitations, keep in mind the following tips on choosing a paper.

    * Keep the theme of your wedding in mind. Your wedding invitation is your guests’ first glimpse of the wedding, so your paper, among other things, should very well present your wedding theme. If you are having a vintage wedding, for example, choose a paper that looks kind of old—yellowish and soft. If your wedding follows a traditional format, choose an equally traditional wedding invitation paper such as white, heavy stock paper. If your wedding is less traditional and more casual, choose a quirky wedding invitation paper.
    * Decide on the color. The paper for the wedding invitation should primarily match your wedding color theme. If your theme, for instance, is violet. Choose papers in different shades of violet. Or if you want, you can use paper in white, ivory, or cream and add accents that are violet in color. Take the color of the text in consideration, too. If the text will be in black, you can use practically any color. But if you prefer to use a colored ink, you have to make sure the paper color and the text color match, making all the texts completely readable. Don’t feel limited with your color options. Explore different combinations that will best represent your wedding.
    * Look at different styles. Just as there are different paper colors, paper styles are also numerous. There are papers with engraved designs, unique textures, and special edges. There are also recycled papers used for wedding invitations. So you see, you have a lot of options to choose from. Only make sure to use the paper that fits your wedding theme, your and your future spouse’s personalities, and the wedding’s level of formality.
    * Know where to order paper. You can order your paper from the same company that will make your invitation. But if the company does not have the paper that you want or if you are making your own invitation, shop in a paper store and make a bulk order. Buying your own paper gives you the benefit of customization. You are sure that no other about-to-wed couples have the same invitation as yours and that you can wow your guests with your uniqueness. But make sure to order extra papers just in case.

There should be continuity in your choice of paper. If applicable, choose the same type and color of paper for the wedding invitations, place cards, save-the-dates, and wedding announcements. Not only can you possibly get discounts for bulk order, you also make it known that your wedding is following a planned and organized concept.
