How to Plan, Customize and Design your Vancouver Wedding Invitations

Now that you’re engaged and had some time to soak things in and get started on booking the venues and vendors, the next thing on your checklist is your wedding invitations. No pressure, but this is one of the first things your guests will see that will showcase the theme and vision of your Vancouver wedding. Although planning for your wedding invitations may seem like a small, timeless task that can be done within hours, you may want to spend a bit more time on them as there are many things to consider when you begin customizing them.

Here are some ways you can plan and customize your Vancouver wedding invitations:

Personalize with elements from your love story

An easy way to communicate your love story with your guests is by displaying small details that are personal to you, your partner and your love story, directly on the invitations. This could be in the form of memorable dates, unique graphics, or even personal photos. Highlighting special locations and favorite items is also a great idea to help make your guests feel like they know you both on a personal level.

Customize with specific colours and special text

Depending on how much you want to customize your Vancouver wedding invitations, you can definitely leave some room for some fun with the text and colours. If you and your partner aren’t the type of couple that speaks formally or utilizes fancy words, feel free to show off your personality through your wedding invitations. Utilize nicknames or even add a personal one-line note at the bottom of the invitation to make it even more fun. With colours, you can also choose a palette that is similar to the colours and theme of your wedding, or choose other colours that get the job done but still do justice to the theme and vision of your Vancouver wedding. When it comes to planning for your Vancouver wedding invitations, choose what you feel is comfortable and authentic to you both.

Incorporate your Vancouver wedding venue

If the Vancouver wedding venue you both have chosen is a unique building or special location, you can always incorporate that into your invitations as well. You can have fun with patterns and signs, or even add some other elements that indicate whether it will be an outdoor or indoor wedding you are planning.
