19 INVITATION IDEAS TO WOW YOUR GUESTS


A Wedding invitation needs to first and foremost be informative and functional. But there’s no reason that your Wedding invite has to be boring!

Just like your Wedding, the invitations can be an imaginative and a personal reflection on you and your Groom, they also set the tone for your Big Day months before the actual event.

If you want something different, check out these unique ideas that are anything but mainstream.

1. Candles

Printing your invites on a candle will leave your guests with a tangible keepsake that they’ll proudly show-off in the lead up to the Big Day.

2. Scent

There are so many ways to incorporate scents with invitations. Stationery can be spritzed with the scent the Bride will wear on the day or scents from the bridal bouquet, or even a sample vial of a favourite fragrance can be used.

3. Candy

We love the idea of edible invitations and a chocolate bar printed with all the Wedding details is sure to leave a good aftertaste and an even better impression.

4. Balloon

Literally take your guests’ breath away with these balloon invites.

5. Tea Towels

For an invite that’s both pretty and practical, try printing your invites on tea towels.

6. Personalised Illustrations

Cute caricatures and doodled silhouettes can add such a personal touch and really take your invitations to a whole other level.

7. Seeds

For the couple with a green thumb, printing your invitations on seeded paper leaves your guests with all the details of your wedding as well as a fresh herb garden (if they’re lucky!)

8. Pop-Up Invites

Nothing compares to the childlike wonder that pop ups inspire!

12. The Count-Down

Letting your invitation double as a countdown dial to the Big Day is a sure way to get your guests just as excited about the Wedding as you are!
