Personalised Wedding invitations – unique, alternative ideas

There are absolutely LOADS of gorgeous Wedding Stationers to choose from, to suit every price range from budget to luxury.  I love the beautiful designs from Maida Vale and Ella Announcements (below) but what can you do for something a little alternative and personalised?

I’ve seen some great ideas used – some more user friendly than others it has to be said! At the budget end of the scale is the option of sending all your guests a CD invitation. The benefit of this is that it’s cheap to produce and send and you can have as much information on there as you want. You could even include engagement photos or have background music playing when the file is opened. Really the only limit on how personalised this can be comes down to your technical skills. The only downside to this is if you’ve got guests who aren’t computer literate.

Another interesting idea is the ‘message in a bottle’, available from Violet and Blue. Perfect for a wedding abroad, you can personalise your invitation using a scroll.

Again, if you’re computer literate you can have some fun creating your own humourous invites. Friends of ours who shall remain nameless found a fantastic cartoon photo of two well-endowed ‘naturists’ posing nude which they superimposed their own heads onto. It probably isn’t everyones cup of tea, but it was really funny and very memorable – perfect for their wedding.

Other friends also designed their own invitations by taking pictures of bride and groom ‘Little People’ and editing the photo to add text wordiong on top. It was great, very personal and also very cute.

Lastly, if you just want to have traditional wording but still want a little something different, how about usingWildflower Seed Paper to print your invites. Your guests will certainly remember your wedding when they look at the beautiful wild flowers growing in their garden as a result.
