From touring venues to booking caterers, there’s a lot of work involved in planning a wedding. One of the steps is designing a wedding invitation that will make a lasting impression on guests and get them excited for the event. When you’re creating your invitation, you’ll need to choose colors that refer back to your party and evoke a response. If you’re having trouble choosing a color scheme, here are some tips to help you select one.

How to Choose a Color Scheme for Wedding Invitations

1. Wedding Colors

This provides a nice sneak peek for the theme of your wedding and helps to set the mood. You can also choose the official formal colors, which are black and white, to create an elegant wedding invitation that feels classic and timeless.

2. Number of Colors

Avoid using too many colors as this can make the invitations messy and distract from the announcement. As a general rule, choose up to three colors, which includes a base, an accent, and a font shade. If you wish to add an additional hue, aim for a neutral, such as whites, off-whites, and grays.  

3. Season of the Year

Consider the season of your wedding. If you’re having a spring wedding, consider a pastel-colored palette to match the seasonal blooms, such as mint green, pale blue, and butter yellow. Bold tropical colors with metallic fonts complement summer weddings, while burnt oranges, warm reds, and dark browns evoke the feeling of an autumn celebration.
