A mere 3 months before your wedding day is the ideal time to send out your wedding invitations, and it’s one of the last major loose ends to tie up during the planning process. Your invitations will be a fixture on guests’ refrigerators and bulletin boards for weeks before your nuptials, so you’ll want to ensure that your invitations will truly shine and wow your attendees.
No matter what decorative scheme you choose, adding a touch of personalization to your invitations is always a winning formula. Here are a few ways that you and your significant other can leave a lasting impression on your guests and put your own personal stamp on your announcements.
1. Personalized Wedding Postage
The wedding invitation envelope may not get the attention it deserves, but there are a number of unique decorative touches you can add to this space. Customized postage stamps are a great step in the right direction, and you can add an image or a monogram of you and your significant other’s initials to add a classy touch to your invitations.
2. Inside the Flap
While we’re on the subject of envelopes, have you thought about what your guests will see when they first open them? From exuberant liners with unique designs or calligraphy to liners with compelling graphics, this is a great place to add an eye-catching design.
3. Customized Seals
The classic appeal of a seal is a great choice for your invitations, but you should avoid the traditional wax seal approach. These can break during transit, so you should opt for a plastic or adhesive version instead.
4. Calligraphy
This is a small investment that can surely pay dividends for the look of your invitations. Do a bit of online research to review the past work of a calligrapher in your area and commission him or her to add customized fonts to your invitations that will truly shine.
5. Embellishments
Last but not least, there are countless small additions you can make to the inside or outside of your invitation envelopes including glitter, pressed flowers, seasonal illustrations, charms and anything else that says something about the location or the betrothed.
