Start with a feeling
Before choosing a font or a flower, think about the mood of your celebration. Intimate and understated? Warm and joyful? Formal with a traditional touch? A few words can give every design choice a direction.
Your invitation can echo your wedding without matching every detail. A quiet colour, a graceful border or a little negative space can be enough to set the tone.
Keep your palette considered
Choose one main colour, a supporting neutral and a restrained accent. Ivory and gold feel warm; emerald gives a more ceremonial mood; black and white make typography the focus.
Check the contrast of your names and event details against the background. A beautiful palette should still be easy to read on a small phone.
Give your names room
The names are the heart of the invitation. Try the exact spelling you want to share, including any longer family names, before committing to a layout.
A generous line height and a simple supporting font help ornate lettering feel intentional. Leave enough space around the date so the key details are easy to find.
- Preview both full names on a phone.
- Check the date and venue at normal viewing size.
- Compare a light and a darker design direction.
Bring the little details together
If you plan to use a welcome board or a printed keepsake, save the colours and typography you like. Repeating a small detail across the day creates a sense of continuity.
Use the sample catalogue to compare directions. You can explore a style first and refine the wording with your family later.
