Most brides choose a theme, whether they're
having a summer wedding filled with bright yellow and blue flowers or
they've chosen an elegant theme which incorporates plenty of gold's,
blacks and silvers.
Another important element when choosing
vintage wedding invitations is colour. This type of invite was delicate
and sophisticated. Colours weren't overly bold, but rather paler and
less "in your face." There is often plenty of black, silver and golf in
the design, maybe with some aqua blue, pale green or orange to bring the
colours together to form the foundation of the invite.

Some
brides find that incorporating lace into their design adds that timeless
elegance to their invites. Lace is a stunning addition to an invite,
though it won't only make it appear older, but is also a more girlie
choice. This is something you will need to discuss with your future
husband before making any final decisions.

Make the use of
symbols. Many vintage wedding invitations had symbols, romantic and
ceremonious symbols such as birds or flowers can be a welcome addition
to the overall design of the invite, while incorporating your theme and
keeping the stationery elegant and sophisticated. Do some research, have
a look through some websites and get inspiration for your own designs
before making any final decisions.
Keep it simple. This cannot be
stressed enough. It's so easy when working with vintage wedding
invitations to get carried away in the design of the invite that you
overload it. Rather remember to keep it simple. Simplicity can leave
your invites looking spectacular and giving guests a taste of the
magnificent beauty they can expect on your very special day.

Your
wording should be carefully put together to create an inspiring
invitation. These invites are normally introducing the day, saying who
is getting married and giving guests the relevant information on the
service and reception. Don't get carried away and make it too long
winded. When putting your wording together get inspiration online from
other wedding invitations you have seen, speak to your stationery
company and see what they recommend and then ensure that you have the
necessary information to let guests decide whether they are available to
join you on your memorable day.

The biggest mistakes brides make
when designing their wedding invitations is to go with a font that is
impossible to read. Remember you want your guests to attend your
wedding, so you need to ensure that they can all read where it is, when
it is and who is getting married. Using two different fonts can be
beneficial with headings in an elegant italics to blend in with the
design of the invite and the important wording in a clearer and more
readable font, in a size that everyone attending can manage.
Finally,
take care when ordering your invites. You want to ensure you only order
from the best stationery suppliers with extensive wedding invite
experience. You need to know your stationery is going to arrive and will
be the highest quality with clear and readable printing.
