Know Your Theme
Before you get started, it is best to have a theme in mind. To make it easy, and to stay consistent, we recommend sticking with your wedding theme. Going into the creative process blind is asking for trouble, and will likely leave you feeling overwhelmed. When you have an idea in mind, it can make the options, such as Basic Invite’s 1000 stunning invitations sets, less intimidating. Instead, you will enjoy filtering through trending themes, such as rustic, art deco, vintage, floral, and more.
Color
If you thought creating a wedding color scheme was difficult, try matching those colors on your wedding invitations. Most companies offer an extremely limited range. Luckily, Basic Invite features over 180 different colors to choose from, with instant previews online. To top it all off, their envelopes come in over 40 different colors – say goodbye to the basic white! Want something a little more eye catching? Staying on top of the trends, Basic Invite has new clear wedding invitations that will wow your guests.
Shape & Size
Perhaps you prefer a simple and easy to read theme, but want a unique shape for your wedding invitations. Basic Invite has a handful of options to consider, from rounded corners, to a bracket or ticket shape. If you want to make dealing with stationery easy, their ‘seal and send’ stationery is the only way to go. Made with easy to follow folding directions, each card includes an invitation and a tear-away RSVP. Once folded, you guessed it, seal it and send it.
Readability
When it comes to selecting fonts for your wedding stationery, remember that the entire point is to deliver important details. Therefore, as beautiful as the script typefaces may be, they are not suitable for the entire text. In fact, when it comes to print materials, a serif font is easier to read. Consider using a tall or bold san-serif font for larger bodies of text, and a script typeface for smaller sections. These two contrasting fonts will pair perfectly!
Less is Better
In the case of wedding stationery, less is best. There is simply no reason to cram every empty space with content. Some of the most elegant invitations and save the dates, are those heavy on white space. Instead, try to minimize the amount of text, by eliminating unnecessary words. At Basic Invite, they have already finished the hard work for you, by inputting a generic yet professional text. All you have to do is replace the personal details, and voila!
Triple Check-It
We get it, wedding stationery is not cheap. In fact, the total cost of save the dates, wedding invitations and RSVPs, can be a shock. For this reason, it is crucial that you triple check the final product before you print. With Basic Invite, you have an instant online preview of your stationery, and the option to order a sample.
