Your Guide to Wedding Invitation Style Trends for 2010

10 Dec

The most popular styles of invitations right now seem to be consistent across the board with all invitation providers. Couples now tend to be choosing a clean fresh look with floral accents.  In the pictures shown are the top 5 most popular invitations from www.weddingpaperdivas.com

Here are a few things to keep in mind when selecting and purchasing your invitations.

1. Make sure to learn the basics in proper etiquette as far as the invitation content goes.  For example, whoever’s name is mentioned on the invitation first is traditionally considered the one paying for the wedding. Or, if you are charging for bar drinks, it must be mentioned somewhere on the invitation to be sure your guests bring cash. There are things that are easily forgotten when creating invitations so a quick refresher will never hurt.

2. You don’t necessarily need to match the invitation to your color theme. If you are overwhelmed by the amount of eggplant purple you’ve been dealing with already, go ahead… pick a Tiffany blue invitation. No one says you can’t! Another option could be to select a black and white design. They have such an elegant look to them.

3. If you are ordering your invitations online, try to get samples of the invitations you like before making any decisions. You want to hold it in your hands to see and feel the quality yourself. Wedding Paper Divas offers a sample of the invitation of your choice. That dollar gets you a sample invitation and response card plus the corresponding envelopes to match. The package really gives you the real deal, making it so much easier to make your final decision

4. Keep it simple. You don’t want your invitation to be too wordy and almost annoying to read. A cleaner and less cluttered stucturemakes it easier to read and a lot nicer to look at. If you have a lot of information that you feel you need to relay to your guests, create a wedding website. It’s free and easy to use and a great way to keep your guests informed and in the loop.
