The Invite
Your wedding invitation should incorporate the date, time and location of your wedding and reception, dress code, RSVP information and the names hosting the wedding. Additional information such as accommodation recommendations, directions (for out of town guests) and gift registry can be added at your discretion. Invitations are also loads of fun – you can design and make them yourself, work with a designer to create something unique or have a bespoke bejewelled fantasy complete with hand done calligraphy – it really is up to you. We spoke to three great invitation suppliers about some of their favourites:
Fi Fy Fo Fum Designs Designer Fi Foote feels that the most memorable invitations are those which are personal to the couple – she remembers one in which the design element was a single acorn to reflect the oak tree on the family property where the wedding was held. Her beautiful website features designs for all types of wedding stationery from place cards to thank you notes and even email templates, plus she’s also able to work with you to create something unique.
Paper Squared At Paper Squared the hundreds of lovely sample invitations available to view make it difficult to choose just one. With their huge range of papers and accessories it’s easy to create an invitation to remember – the friendly and knowledgeable staff can help you put together ideas and advise regarding quantities as well. Trends this year include buckles and ribbons, which when used with several different papers can create a beautiful and unusual effect.
Red Ink A hot pink card featuring silver disco balls stands out as a favourite and memorable invitation for Red Ink. However that’s just the tip of the design iceberg for this talented team, whose commissions include designing an invitation to match the vintage wallpaper at one couple’s reception venue. When it comes to trends, a lot of couples are steering away from more traditional styles towards a clean modern look, incorporating strong graphics and lots of colour. However it’s all about your individual taste – feathers, beads, flowers, fireworks – the sky is the limit.
