Monograms

Include a Photo
How about turning a gorgeous engagement photo into your invitation? It doubles as beautiful photo for your guests to keep of the beginning or your journey.

Nothing will surprise your guests more than something popping out at them, within reason. We’re talking about exploding confetti or anything (although that is an option), we’re taking about a pop-up picture of you and your partner asking your guests to attend your special day like these ones!



Elegant Dark Colours & Calligraphy
If attention grabbing is what you’re aiming for in an invite, then choosing to go with dark bold colours with a pop of bright ones is your answer. These black invites with bright florals do just that. Keeping with the dark theme, add some elegant calligraphy to your font and you’ve got one stylish invitation.



Clean and Crisp
Sometimes there can be just a little too much detail making things to busy and overpowering (hard to believe right?). To avoid running into this issue, choosing a very crisp and sharp design with clean lines for an invitation is a great idea.



As always, the possibilities are endless, but keep in mind some of these tips and ideas when planning your invitation style and you’ll end up with stunning results!
