Planning your wedding is an exciting and creative time, as you get to bring your vision of the ceremony and reception to life. If it's time to design the invitations, you can choose from a wide range of templates and patterns, but the choice can be a bit overwhelming. To help you create invites you’ll love, keep the following tips in mind. 

How to Create Beautiful Wedding Invitations

1. Ensure the Information Is Legible

Some fonts and designs can be challenging to read, which can be frustrating for older guests. Instead, it's best to opt for clear, readable fonts and designs that clearly convey your names, as well as the date, time, and location of the ceremony. If there is other pertinent information, you can include your wedding website on the invites. The website can provide your guests with any other helpful information they may need, such as nearby hotel info, registry options, and the dress code, to help your guests prepare for the big day. 

2. Consider Your Wedding's Theme or Style

Weddings often have distinct themes that tie together the decor, food, and other design elements. The invitations should also reflect the style of your special ceremony and reception, as they let guests know what kind of wedding they are attending and how to dress. For example, if your nuptials are black-tie, traditional invites featuring intricate borders and calligraphy will convey that style more clearly compared to modern-style invitations with block lettering and bold hues. If you still have trouble deciding on the invite design, write down words that describe your big day, such as “formal,” “casual,” “retro,” or “futuristic" to help you narrow down the style.

3. Incorporate Photography

Many couples' engagement photoshoots are similar to the theme of their wedding, such as pictures with a natural background for a casual outdoor wedding or images captured in a favorite city for a sleek formal event. For this reason, you may want to add photos of you and your partner to further personalize the invitation. This has become increasingly popular, as many people turn to digital tools and software to design eye-catching invitations. However, even if you did not book an engagement shoot, you can still add pictures, as long as you have a favorite image of the two of you together.
