How To Create A Great Wedding Invitation

When you are choosing a design for your wedding invitation, think about the overall vibe and color palette of the wedding itself. Even if you are still planning, having a general idea or theme to go off will help you when designing.

You should have your venue booked when you send out the invitations, so use that as inspiration as well.

If you want to just go with something that shows off you and your partners personal style, that’s totally okay too! The most important thing to remember is that the invites are clear, legible and friendly.

When Should I Send Out My Wedding Invitations?

It is recommended that you send your wedding invitations no less than 2-3 months in advance of the wedding. Your save-the-dates should be sent out at about 6 months. If it is a destination wedding, send them out a year in advance.
