Extraordinary Ways to Announce a Remarkable Wedding
- Destination-Inspired Invitations
Crafting your custom wedding invitations can add a personal touch to your wedding announcement. These bespoke invites, like those made with Canva, are more than just pieces of colored paper–they’re gateways to the wedding adventure that you want your beloved guests to experience with you.
You can infuse elements inspired by your chosen locale, like vibrant tropical motifs if you’re to have a beach wedding or elegant traditional patterns for a historic location. Your invitations will set the tone and excitement for your guests. It’s going to be a very enticing invite so they can really join in your celebration.
- Postcard Adventures
Destination weddings are all about the excitement and intrigue of where your most awaited wedding will be. So, a postcard adventure-cum-wedding invitation is just that, taking your guests to take a peek, a dash of mystery and excitement on their journey before they arrive.
You can send custom postcards featuring snapshots of your wedding site’s most breathtaking sights, like the pristine beaches in the Maldives or French Polynesia. Each of your invitations can hold clues or hints about the wedding, making it an exciting treasure hunt for your guests to piece together.
- Culture Clash Invitations
What more unique way than to shake up tradition in your invitations? Entice your guests-to-be with culture clash invites that burst with the vibrant colors and rhythms of your wedding setting’s culture.
Like henna patterns for a Moroccan wedding, vivid papel picado for a Mexican Fiesta, and intricate “banig” (mat) weavings for a Filipino beach wedding. Bits of cultural displays on your announcements will set the stage for a love celebration like no other.
It will make your big day more like an exciting adventure or a bucket list item awaiting to be experienced.
