Sizes

Don't let anyone tell you that all invitations are the same! You choose the size of card that you want for your invitation, such as:

• 7x7 or
• 5¼ x 7¼

Traditional invitation cards are cream colored with decorative backgrounds which may include flowers, fabrics, and other creative finishes. However, with a rainbow of colored papers available today, you can choose a color to match the theme of your wedding.

Classic

Classic wedding invitations never go out of style. A classic wedding invitation is more reserved looking, but uses traditional lines and textures.

A single embossed panel will give wedding invites a classic style, setting the perfect tone for your wedding day.

Nothing is more stylish than a Victorian embossed style foil border. Stunning white backgrounds compliment the Victorian look, keeping it simple yet elegant.

Another classic look, which has become more popular lately, is the embossed oval frame. It is a simple variation on the more traditional look.

Contemporary

Contemporary wedding invitations are very multi-media. Personal touches combined with a classic elegance make for more modern wedding announcements.

Many contemporary invitations have a theme, which reflects the wedding. For instance, western or winter themes are reflected in the details of the border.

Flowered wedding invites are ideal for modern spring weddings. Lilies or roses symbolize birth and love, and give your invitations a beautiful embossed look. If you're adding a floral touch to your invitation, make sure to choose the flowers you connect with the most.

Ocean themes at weddings are also very contemporary, as more people are exchanging their vows by the water. Reflect your love of the ocean with pearl embossed seashells on your wedding invites.
