Want to make your wedding invitations stand out from the crowd? Of course you do!

5 Ways to Make Wedding Invitations Special

1. Get creative with your wording

If a sense of humor is important to you and your partner or you just want something a little more modern, get creative with your wording. Instead of traditional phrasing, try something playful and unique like this delightfully tongue-in-cheek invitation by Amore Di Carta Studio.

2. Add a pop of color

Use bright and bold hues to make your invitations eye-catching. We love this graphic yellow and white beauty from Rock Paper Scissors.

3. Incorporate a fun design element

For a truly one-of-a-kind wedding invitation, add a unique design element like a fun pattern or custom illustration. This invite featuring the couples’ dogs was the perfect way to personalize and add a fun element to their invitations!

4. Use non-traditional materials

Make your wedding invitations stand out with non-traditional materials, like wood or acrylic. This will give your design a modern twist, even if the rest of the elements are fairly traditional, like this dreamy invitation suite from Lettering by GRG.

5. Choose a unique shape or size
