Wedding Stationery Trends You Want to Be Aware Of

When looking to buy wedding invitations, do you have a budget in mind? If you do, you’ll want to be mindful of how much each piece of stationery costs before ordering it. You’ll also want to know if custom options are included in the price quoted or charged separately so you can plan accordingly.

Knowing what types of trends exist with wedding invitations is important, too, so you’ll know what options you have to choose from. If you want to stay current, you’ll want to pick a theme that other people are talking about.

Here are some wedding stationery trends you’ll want to be aware of:

Dark Colors. 

Say goodbye to traditional white and cream and hello to dark navy, plum, and black. A moody palette makes a big impact especially when you choose a bright color or add a hint of metallic elements throughout. Gold really stands out against the darker colors so consider it an option when choosing navy, plum or black invitations.

Envelope Liners.

Break up the monotony of a solid colored envelope with a fun and punchy liner. You can add patterns and even photographs of your city or you as a couple if you want. It’s a simple way to dress up even the plainest envelope.

Handwritten and Calligraphy Style Writing.

Select a font that looks like it was handwritten. It’s all the rage! If you don’t have the time to hand letter hundreds of invitations yourself, go for the next best thing with a font that mimics stylized handwriting.

Watercolor.

Soft and beautiful, watercolor gives a modern twist to classic wedding invitation styles. If you don’t want too much color on the invitations themselves, add watercolor elements to the liners or envelopes as a way of adding a bit of brightness to your stationery.

Geometric Designs.

Nothing says modern more than a cool geometric design. Squares, triangles, and facets are very popular. You can go with traditional colors like black and white or add some real pop with electric colors. Whatever you decide, the choice is all yours.

Maps.

Highlight some of the attractions in your city. A map serves as a collectible keepsake as well as directions to the venue you’re getting married in or having your reception in. It’s a fun way to add personality to your invitations, too. People will love how whimsical your choice in wedding stationery is.

Don’t forget to pick up a beautiful pen to write final details on envelopes and RSVP cards. You’ll find a number of options to choose from that significantly enhance the experience. The Swarovski Crystalline Lady Ballpoint Pen in Indian Sapphire is a stunning keepsake that will serve you well long after wedding bells have rang.

Now that you know what trends to look for, choosing your own wedding stationery will be easier. You’ll be able to incorporate a sense of style and fun into your own celebration. Make your wedding invitations stand out with the custom options offered by SG Wedding Favors.
