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.
