Many couples are looking for efficient ways to lower costs on their wedding. At PrintVites, we believe that this can be done by using our wedding invitation templates and adding your personal touches to your invites. The following sections are a few suggestions we have.

Choose Interesting Paper

Incorporating specialty paper is a simple, inexpensive and effective way to personalize your invitations and give them the look you are intending. You can find such paper at art supply stores, scrap-booking stores and specialty paper stores.

Experiment with Different Envelopes

There are different options when it comes to envelopes. For example, using a pocket folder keeps all invitation items neatly in one place. Choose a colored envelope to enhance your color scheme and attract guests to your wedding invitation.

Using Ribbons

Making use of ribbons adds a very special elegant touch. You can find the ribbon material you need by heading over to your nearest fabric store and choosing the material that best suits your wedding theme.

Adding the Professional Touch

Invest in the appropriate supplies:

Get Eyelets for ribbon holes
Get a sharp utility knife and cutting board
Use a Glue Runner (like dry white-out, but glue)
Use a stamp on your closing seal

Seasonal Wedding Color Ideas for Inspiration

A good way to choose the theme colors for your wedding is to base it on the season that your wedding date falls into. Doing so will help reflect the time of year of your wedding and give it an extra touch of elegance. The following sections describe the best color choices for each season.

Winter Colors

Many of us refer to winter as a harsh and cold time, but in fact it is also a time of coziness and warmth. To achieve such a feel, colors such as blue, champagne, and silver tend to express the joy from the holiday season, while deep reds and brown help reflect the passion and comfort of this season.

Spring Colors

When we think of spring, we think of flowers blossoming, kids playing, and beautiful sunny days. The best colors to help reflect this beautiful season is to use earthy brown tones, greens and blues. A nice combination is also to use shades of pinks with blues to express a sense of anticipation.

Summer Colors

Summer for many can be thought of as the brightest and most enjoyable season of the year. The excitement of summer can be expressed through the use of calm color combinations and colors with soft hues. Mixing and matching gentle colors is the best way to reflect this season.

Fall Colors

Fall is definitely the most colorful season of the year, a time when the leaves change colors and bring out their true beauty. The fall colors mix very well together and represent a calming and transitional time of year.

You should also note that over-using theme colors throughout your wedding might be too much for your guests. The last impression you don’t want to leave them with is a sense of “ok already…they like orange and brown”. Start with the essential elements of a wedding (attire, flowers, favors, invitations, and cake). Then from this point on, see where color may be added. You can also look into the finer details such as the table accessories at the reception hall, the guestbook near the hall entrance, and of course the bridesmaid dresses.
