\"Personalized<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Planning a wedding can be quite daunting, from choosing a theme, picking a dress, venue, menu, flowers, bridal shower, honeymoon and, of course, the invitations. Thankfully, this last one is a relative breeze with our easy-to-browse and customize, user-friendly wedding invitation design templates<\/a> and builder tools. On top of invitations, we also have matching designs for wedding announcements<\/a>, wedding programs and even thank you cards, for every type of theme, budget, and style. Read on for tips on putting together that perfect wedding stationery collection. (We\u2019ve also listed 12 of our favourite wedding invitation designs to help you get started.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Snapfish Guide to a Great Wedding Invitation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Step 1<\/strong>: Select colors that suit your wedding theme. (Use this color scheme as inspiration across all of your wedding stationery<\/a>.) Don\u2019t be afraid to get playful. If your wedding theme consists of neutral shades, then bold accents or rich earthy colors will give it just the right amount of pop while keeping your invitation’s look consistent within the overall theme.  If your wedding has more bright or seasonal shades like coral, mint green, burgundy or burnt orange, it makes sense to include these colors in your wedding stationery. Make sure to balance your design with neutral shades like whites, browns, or even black for a moodier look. You can search for designs with these colors using our pre-defined search filters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2<\/strong>: Select a wedding invitation design<\/a>. Choosing a simple design will guarantee a beautiful invite that stands the test of time. You could always embellish the design with rounded corners, choose another pre-built design variation in the builder, change the font, or just move the elements around on the card (front and back) to get the wedding invitation layout that feels just right. Once you\u2019ve chosen a general design, apply it to the rest of your stationery, including RSVP cards, menus, place cards and thank you notes. Top Tip<\/strong>: Once you have chosen a design you like, search for all other design instances by using our internal search engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3<\/strong>: Customize the back with all the important details. Don\u2019t forget to customise the reverse of your wedding invitation <\/a>with useful information like clear directions to the venue, parking information and any crucial itinerary details. Perhaps you have a wedding list online? You can easily add the link to the text on the back. You can also ask guests to submit any song requests they have, so you can make up the ultimate wedding play list that pulls everyone to the dance floor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How soon should you send out your invitations?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It is customary to send out ‘Save The Date<\/a>‘ or ‘Wedding Announcement<\/a>‘ cards a bit before the actual formal invitation. For those of you who have a 12-month timeline, we recommend sending your wedding invitations out two months prior to the big day. If you’re planning a destination wedding, or many of your guests will be traveling a significant distance, make sure you send ‘Save The Date’ cards at least 8-12 months before (so guests can plan around it). If you\u2019re going for a shorter engagement, we recommend sending your invitations out as soon as possible (ideally, two months before), especially if you have your wedding color scheme and design ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
