Greetings earthlings. I am here to bestow upon you a new language, wedding stationery etiquette.
No, seriously – does anyone actually get this? I have to look it up A LOT when I am working on a styled shoot and the organizers give me free range on what to write. And I tend to stick with the same shtick. But no more, my friends.
Here’s how a traditional wedding invitation reads (for the most part)-
Mr. and Mrs. Stevens request the pleasure of your presence at the marriage of their daughter Jane Valerie Stevens to John Richard Jones …
Now, there is NOTHING wrong with that. AT ALL.(Sidenote – my momma told me that in the Asian culture – the boy’s family paid. Isn’t that interesting?) If that fits your wedding, then heck- GO FOR IT! It’s YOUR WEDDING, don’t let some girl with two-day hair, typing a blog post in her bed at 2 a.m. tell you what to do.
But here’s the fun part. Let’s do some digging up to find some witty and different inspiration for creative wedding stationery copy.
This is such a fun way to say we’re doing this thing and we are gonna have fun doing it!
Simple, to the point, and this card is cute, cute, cute! I love how casual it is and this stamp/ink look is so awesome.
Okay, so this is a little long – but I mean it’s definitely personal, and what’s more personal than two people sharing one of their most important days together?
Another long one – but it promises good beer and barbecue. I ain’t one for the beer, but the BBQ? Count me in.
I hope these very cute worded and designed cards bring you some inspiration (and me, too, honestly!) to think outside the box and have some fun for your big day! Wedding stationery etiquette, you don’t scare me 😛
*These invitations WERE NOT designed by me. Please click on the images for where I found them.
