A wedding invitation is one of the first, formal announcements of your special day. It is also a treasured keepsake your friends and family will want to keep for years to come. Designing a stunning wedding invitation will impress others and get them excited for the big day. From the printing service you use to the fonts, below are a few tips for getting started. 

How to Design a Memorable Wedding Invitation

1. Consider the Theme & Style

Use your invitations to introduce the theme and style of your wedding. If it will be a highly formal affair, design elegant invitations by using a graceful cursive font on an off-white card stock. If the wedding is more on the casual side, think outside the box. For instance, block lettering on a bold-colored stock will signal a fun and exciting wedding atmosphere.

2. Find Quality Images

Images add an unforgettable personal touch to wedding invitations. Pick imagery that integrates well into the theme, wedding location, style, font, and color selections you've chosen. The images should be as clear as possible, so choose a resolution of at least 300 dpi (Dots Per Inch).

3. Discuss Your Options With a Reliable Printing Service

By selecting a printing service early in the design process, you will get a good idea of the options for customizing your invitations. Explore paper stock, card sizes, and finishing choices like embossing and lamination. They will give you advice on everything from the fonts and what to write on the card to picking a size and envelope.
