Elegant Wedding Invites

A widely popular wedding theme is elegance. Most brides envision a fairytale-inspired wedding. Adorned with classic elements that are only fit for princesses.

Give a glimpse of how timeless your ceremony will be by including elegant elements. 

Include gold and silver details to enhance your card. Add pearls, lace, and an embossed seal for decoration. Keep the lettering graceful with cursive writing. Imprint your outgoing envelope with a bold wedding stamp to show the importance of your letter. With a sophisticated invite like this, your honorable guests will know to prepare for your black-tie event.

Rustic Wedding Invites

Bring the beautiful elements of nature into your ceremony. Rustic-style weddings highlight earth tones. Think open concept spaces, bright natural lighting, and big windows. Whether you’re a couple who is accustomed to the country or looking to change up the scenery for the guests, rustic weddings are a splendid idea. 

Center your invites using shades of brown and green and highlighting with white. Incorporate twine or lace to add texture. Imprint a personalized rustic stamp impression on the envelope for some organic details. Opt for a pre-designed card that features graphics of natural elements like branches, flowers, wood, or leaves.

Include a heartfelt <a “Browse Love Inspired Craft Stamps” href=”https://www.904custom.com/home-office/stamps/scrapbooking-craft-stamps/love-valentines-day” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>craft stamp impression and seal off your envelope with a future mr and mrs address stamp adorned with hearts.

Include your script font with custom scripted impressions. Add a symbolic imprint with a script true love craft stamp on your wedding stationery.
