How to Pick the Perfect Wedding Invitation If only it were as easy as choosing between ivory and eggshell. Fortunately for today’s brides-to-be, the options for your invitations are endless. The skies the limit when it comes to color, size, shape, design, and even material. And since the invitation will set the tone for your big day, this is the perfect time to make it personal by incorporating wedding day details—signature color, location venue, seasonal charm—into the suite. Begin the process by shopping around: Visit your local stationery store and get inspired by touching and looking through all of the paper possibilities available to you. Maybe you’ll decide to keep it simple by taking a traditional approach or maybe you’ll want to infuse a little more of your personal style into your invitation. Get inspired by some out-of-the-box ideas for spreading the word.
