Tips for designing winter wedding invitations



Wedding invitations are a key part of your wedding planning. Well designed wedding invitations will reflect the type of wedding you plan to host, and will be elegant and attractive to look at. If youre hosting a winter wedding, youll want to make sure that you also design winter wedding invitations that are appropriate to your theme and to the season.

Winter wedding invitations can really shine when they reflect the particular key elements of the cold season. There are particular colors that are often associated with winter, so see if you can include these colors in your wedding invitations. You may wish to include colors such as silver, gray, white, and dark blue in your wedding invitations. These colors tend to go quite well together, and can be quite striking when combined. Try mixing and matching the colors on your winter wedding invitations in order to strike a good balance and contrast.

Try to tie in wintry elements in your wedding invitations. Some key elements include snow and ice, as well as the things that go along with these. Consider adding elegant snowflake or crystal decals to your invitation to indicate that your wedding will be a winter wedding. In addition, consider drawing on nature for inspiration for your winter wedding invitations. Things such as skeleton leaves, where the main flesh of the leaf has left behind just the veins of the leaf, can look very attractive when printed on to a wedding invitation.

Consider fonts when youre designing your invitations for your winter wedding. Some fonts can be quite wintry in nature, and will look good when combined with wintry colors and themes. For example, spidery texts and calligraphy texts can be very attractive when combined with other wintry elements. Avoid fonts that are difficult to read, or that are too bold, however. These can fill up your invitation and make it look unattractive. Always make sure that your decorations are pared back enough that they dont interrupt the text on your invitations. The number one thing to remember about your invitation is that although you want it to look attractive, it has to be legible. The most effective wedding invitations strike a good balance between decoration and funcationality.

Winter wedding invitations can be printed in a variety of different ways. You can opt for a small, flat card that is decorated in a wintry theme. You can apply a variety of different decorations and patterns, or even have them hanging from the sides of the invitation. Another option is to opt for a card that folds. These can look quite attractive, and allow a little more flexibility in terms of the invitation itself. You can decorate the interior and the exterior differently according to your preferences. Another option is a larger card with a smaller piece of paper mounted on top of it. The smaller piece of paper should be fairly plain and contain the text of the invitation. The backing paper can then be quite decorative and wintry in style.
