<p>Your wedding is a very special day. For many couples, their wedding day is one of the highlights of their lives. Whether you are the bride or groom, you want to share your special day with all of your friends and family; and you want everything to be perfect. Most of the planning starts with the wedding invitations, and these invites can really set the tone for your wedding.</p>
<p>Many of the betrothed choose to go with a theme for their weddings, and that theme, whether it’s a color theme or a style, can be reflected in the wedding invitations. Today, the top trends are in colorful wedding invitations; and the more colorful the better. Gone are the days of plain white cards with silver writing. Many couples are choosing bright colorful invitations that are fun, exciting and eye catching.</p>
<p>Your wedding invitation should be as unique as you two are as a couple. You don’t want to send out an invitation that is identical to the one your cousin sent out last month. You want to ensure that your friends and families will notice your invitation stuck to their fridge, instead of getting lost in the pile on the table. A colorful wedding invitation is something to be admired, something your friends and family will want to display, a wedding they will want to attend.</p>
<p>It’s easy these days to make sure your invitations reflect your own personal style, whether that be traditional, eclectic, colorful, or just plain fun. You can choose from a wide variety of colors, styles, shapes, sizes and layouts. As well, you will also be able to choose coordinating RSVP cards, envelopes, mailing envelopes, reminder cards as well as labels, stickers, adornments – the sky is the limit with colorful wedding invitations.</p>
<p>With many ready-to-use designs available, you can choose one that is close to what you are looking for, or you can choose to create your own, mix and match different sets and colors, or have a personalized style of invitation done for you. There are also many wedding invitation designers that you can choose from, including hot celebrities such as Vera Wang.</p>
<p>Adorn your wedding with the colors that you love, and begin the quest towards your special day with coordinating colorful wedding invitations. The choice is yours with your wedding invitations, from the color combinations, style, size and font type. By choosing these things to come together in harmony on your wedding invitations, you will have a truly unique invitation to send out to friends and family. You do not have to coordinate to your wedding colors if you don’t want to – you can choose whatever your heart desires for your wedding invitations.</p>
<p>One of the top trends for this year is the return to classic designs, including ‘white and silver’ – however, with the many type fonts that are available, even classic designs are made new again and unique. Choosing special type fonts for your personalized wedding invitations can take the classic look to a whole new level.</p>
<p>One of the other top trends for this year is perfect for the creative do-it-yourself person. Those brides and grooms who enjoy putting things together themselves in an effort to save some money and have some fun are at the top of the trendsetting list this year. Do your own invitations, mix them up and make them yours.</p>
<p>Color is big this year in wedding invitations and some of the top colors may surprise you. Orange is a bright, festive color that is quite versatile for a choice – from bright sunny oranges to deeper burnt umber-orange, orange is a color that is more readily appearing in wedding invitations. Monochromatic colors are also big – blues, white, black and yellows can make for interesting, subtle or flashy invitations. Depending on the style you are going for, choose a couple different blues, mix a deep blue with a butter yellow, or combine black, white and yellow or blue for a dramatic invitation that you can really call your own unique style.</p>
<p>Another big trend for this year is putting the focus on the envelopes. Envelopes for some are an after-thought, but this year, pay attention to the envelopes you are choosing for your invitations. Your envelope can coordinate with the invitation or contrast against it – whatever the choice, go for big and bold to make sure that your invitation stands out in the pile of mail that your invitees are receiving.</p>
<p>Regardless of the style of invitation you choose, be sure that you pay attention to the color. Choose colors that you like, mix them up with different contrasting colors, have some fun with it and enjoy the work of art that your unique, colorful wedding invitation has become.</p>

<p>
<p>With hundreds or even thousands of options, choosing your wedding invitations can be frustrating. Although classically styled invitations are still most popular, if you are having a modern wedding, you should look for invitations to match. Not to worry, modern wedding invitations do not have to be completely serious. They can still be romantic and beautiful. Here are the top five wedding invitation ideas for the modern bride:</p>
<p><strong>Idea #1: Use non-traditional, bold colors.</strong></p>
<p>White has always been a traditional wedding color, and many brides also use gold and silver, pastel colors, and off-white shades in conjunction with stark white. Instead of these classic bridal colors, consider using bold colors with the same bridal motifs. You do not have to go with hot pink, but think about how the traditional invitations you are viewing would look in plum, hunter green or red. Modern invitations do not have to be soft colors. Let your personality shine through! Right now, steel blue, brown, and yellow are all popular, trendy wedding colors, and you can send cards in colors that match the season. You do not even have to match your wedding invitation colors with your wedding colors, just do what feels right to you. If you are worried about using bright colors, consider at least an accent color. Stick to a white invitation that includes just a burst of color.</p>
<p><strong>Idea #2: Go “green” with your wedding invitations. </strong></p>
<p>Today, you can make eco-friendly choices with everything from your clothing to your food – why not your wedding invitations too? “Green” wedding invitations are made from recycled paper, and for the best option for the environment, look for paper made with as much post-manufactured recycled product as possible. Try to avoid pre-manufactured product, which comes from mill scraps. You can also find companies that plant trees for every product ordered, and you can choose to include a note on the back asking your guests to RSVP via email or phone and recycle the invitation after the wedding. “Green” wedding invitations are not just modern; they are a simple way for you to make this world a better place.</p>
<p><strong>Idea #3: Send a message in a bottle.</strong></p>
<p>We usually think of invitations as a flat piece of paper, but that does not have to be the case. One especially innovative idea, especially if you are going to have a destination wedding, is to send a message in a bottle. Instead of a sending a flat invitation, choose a scroll style and put it inside of a bottle. You can actually find companies that have kits to help you prepare these bottle invitations. You may end up spending more on postage, but the effect is very unique. If messages in a bottle do not match up with your wedding theme, you can instead consider other kinds of 3-dimensional cards. You can also choose destination-wedding invitations that feature designs like seashells and sandcastles if you do not want to spend the extra money on postage.</p>
<p><strong>Idea #4: Use your picture on your invitation. </strong></p>
<p>Your wedding invitation serves as an announcement for some people. To make it really special, consider printing a picture of you and your groom on the front. You can use your announcement photo or take a special one specifically for your invitations. Instead of throwing away your invitations, your guests can frame them, keep then as keepsakes, or otherwise display them. A picture also helps make the invitation more personal. You can choose black and white or color for printing, depending on your budget.</p>
<p><strong>Idea #5: Design your own invitation. </strong></p>
<p>Modern invitations are not always just about a modern look, they are also about a modern concept. Today’s invitations can be personalized more than you may realize. Many websites offer custom design services and you pick everything from the design and overall style to the font color to even the ink color to the envelopes. You can then add ribbons, monograms, and more to really make them personal. As a bonus, creating your wedding invitations with your future husband can be fun.</p>
<p>Modern wedding invitations can include other accessories and add-ons in beautiful accent colors and designs. Consider some pocket-style jackets for your invitations, colorful organza bows that can be tied around them, designed seals that stick on the envelope, or sheer stickers. All of these small touches can help your invitations look great.</p>
<p>Choosing the perfect wedding invitations can be a difficult task. When searching for that right style, do not be afraid to consider modern options. With the right colors and accessories, your modern invitations should be just as beautiful as you have always imagined. If you are planning a destination wedding there are other creative options to consider such a message in a bottle or an image of yourself at the destination.</p>
