"Finally a section with so many 'CREATIVE'
wedding invitation examples!"
Who says you have to follow the crowd? These tips for creating funky wedding invitations will have you headed for the aisle in style!
Tweak Tradition
Sometimes it's hard enough to take the plunge to get married without the pressure of re-inventing the wedding invitation. Ribbons and roses might not exactly be your style!
Not everyone is ready to take on dozens of years of tradition (not to mention your mom and mother-in-law) for a wild invite that will have granny flipping her wig.
If you think that sounds like you, consider something in the style of these Floral Jewel wedding invitations. Follow this example and a few wavy lines will keep you off the straight and narrow, but not so far off that you'll alarm an opinionated traditionalist lurking nearby.
Even better, the flowers in this piece don't have to be flowers at all! Anything round will do.
Take these two simple steps to create a mild version of funky wedding invitations that you'll love! And, best of all, granny's hair-do will remain firmly in place.
Dramatic Changes
For a more "in your face" version of wild, look to these Bold Floral wedding invites for inspiration.
A dark background really sets the stage for making a statement. This style is a real attention getter from the moment it leaves the envelope!
To re-create funky wedding invitations in this style, simply start with a bold background color.
If you like pastels, amp it up with a deep color that demands to be noticed. If, on the other hand, you have a no-holds-barred color fetish, something that bursts from the paper will look amazing. Imagine deep red, sunny yellow, or a sensational metallic with flair!
Follow up the stunning background with an equally unconventional pattern.
In the Bold Floral wedding invitation example, a design variation of the French fleur de lis marries tradition with something that seems to be anything but traditional. Try it yourself and the resulting presentation will knock your socks off!
Bold Patterns
If a bright color doesn't do it for you, how about a pattern that just won't sit still?
Check out the Modern Paisley invitation for a wild way to share the news about the big day!
You can really take this one to the next level by starting with a bold background color, then layering on an eye-popping pattern for a phenomenal presentation. The trick here is to make sure that the font and size that you choose is legible on the background. You want people to be able to read the details!
This style is a big break from tradition and might ruffle a few feathers. In fact, you can almost hear a refrain of "kids these days" in the background!
Get Your Funk On
Here's a style you can really go wild with! Take a look at these Vintage Border wedding invitation example and you'll quickly see how easily your personality can shine through.
The border that surrounds this style is just begging for something bold and funky!
The simple solid background will be the perfect accent to a style that is all your own.
Do you love the Wild West? Show off your dreams of being a rancher with a cowhide design! Are you a misplaced child from the 60's? A tie-dye border will make a huge splash on your invitations!
No matter what your heart's desire, you can take a walk down the aisle on the wide side when you work with this simple design!
These funky wedding invitations are a big break from tradition. Some folks might feel dizzy at such a prospect, so make sure you send these out early so they'll recover in time to make it to the ceremony!
