Planning your big day is all about making it uniquely yours... and your wedding invitations are the perfect place to start. As the first glimpse guests get of your celebration, your invites should reflect your personalities, your story, and your venue. Whether you're planning a rustic countryside wedding or a chic city celebration, here are five creative ways to personalise your wedding invitations and set the tone from the very first envelope.
1. Feature a Hand-Drawn Venue Illustration
Nothing adds charm and character quite like a bespoke venue sketch. Our Venue Illustration Wedding Invitations are hand-drawn from a photo of your venue, creating a completely one-of-a-kind design. Whether it’s a castle, barn, or registry office, we’ll transform your location into an elegant watercolour-style illustration, printed on luxury textured card. It’s the ultimate way to capture your venue’s atmosphere and create a keepsake your guests will treasure.
Pro tip: You can also use your venue sketch across other stationery items like thank you cards or framed prints for lasting impact.
2. Add a Personal Monogram or Wedding Logo
Creating a personalised monogram using your initials or a custom emblem is a stylish way to tie your stationery suite together. It can be as simple as ‘A & J’ in a modern serif font, or a bespoke crest design featuring meaningful motifs like florals or travel icons. Monograms work beautifully on save the dates, RSVP cards, wax seals, and even on your order of service.
3. Use Coloured Envelopes or Envelope Liners
Your envelopes are the first thing guests see... why not make them memorable? We offer a beautiful range of coloured envelopes including sage, blush, grey, and burgundy to complement your wedding palette. Want to go one step further? Add a luxury envelope liner for an extra touch of sophistication. It’s an affordable way to make a big visual impact.
4. Include Your Love Story Timeline
Your guests know you as a couple... but they may not know how your story began. Including a mini ‘relationship timeline’ on your invitations or a separate info card adds a meaningful and personal touch. Highlight key milestones like your first date, the proposal, or funny anecdotes that reflect your journey.
5. Seal with Style: Add a Wax Seal Upgrade
For a finishing flourish, consider adding wax seals to your invitation envelopes. Our pre-made gold wax seals come with a peel-and-stick backing, making them quick to apply without the mess of traditional sealing. They’re ideal for creating a luxurious, tactile moment that guests will love peeling open.
