With custom card and photo printing, it’s easy to send wedding invites with a personalized touch. If you’re designing the invite, remember the basics so that you don’t overlook crucial details. Below are a few tips to help you design cards that are appealing and cover all the necessary information.

4 Tips for Designing a Custom Wedding Invite

1. Coordinate Colors

It is challenging, but try to decide on the colors for your wedding before you send out invites. That way, you can incorporate them into your invitation. If you’ve chosen rich red as one of your wedding hues, consider mailing invites in a burgundy envelope. You can also match a navy and cream wedding with blue ink on off-white paper.

2. Indicate Wedding Details

Whether you’re throwing an informal outdoor celebration or hosting at a fancy country club, let your guests know about the atmosphere and theme. Are children welcome? How should guests dress? Will there be a reception with a sit-down meal or just dessert? Your guests will be grateful if it’s clear what they should expect.

3. Use Legible Typeface

Wedding invites commonly use feathery scripts that emphasize the flourish. While these typefaces are beautiful and stand out, they can also be challenging to read. If you want to include a fancy font, consider using it for your names—the relevant details can be spelled out in a clearer secondary font.

4. Remember to Proofread

Before you send the final version to the printer, check the invitation thoroughly for mistakes. If possible, have several other people read over it to limit the chance of error further. Are both your names appropriately spelled? Are the date and location correct? If you include photos, ensure they high resolution so they won’t blur during photo printing. Spending extra time here will save you from embarrassing and time-consuming errors.
