Your wedding is a very special day. For many couples, their wedding day is one of the highlights of their lives. Whether you are the bride or groom, you want to share your special day with all of your friends and family; and you want everything to be perfect. Most of the planning starts with the wedding invitations, and these invites can really set the tone for your wedding.

Many of the betrothed choose to go with a theme for their weddings, and that theme, whether it’s a color theme or a style, can be reflected in the wedding invitations. Today, the top trends are in colorful wedding invitations; and the more colorful the better. Gone are the days of plain white cards with silver writing. Many couples are choosing bright colorful invitations that are fun, exciting and eye catching.

Your wedding invitation should be as unique as you two are as a couple. You don’t want to send out an invitation that is identical to the one your cousin sent out last month. You want to ensure that your friends and families will notice your invitation stuck to their fridge, instead of getting lost in the pile on the table. A colorful wedding invitation is something to be admired, something your friends and family will want to display, a wedding they will want to attend.

It’s easy these days to make sure your invitations reflect your own personal style, whether that be traditional, eclectic, colorful, or just plain fun. You can choose from a wide variety of colors, styles, shapes, sizes and layouts. As well, you will also be able to choose coordinating RSVP cards, envelopes, mailing envelopes, reminder cards as well as labels, stickers, adornments – the sky is the limit with colorful wedding invitations.

With many ready-to-use designs available, you can choose one that is close to what you are looking for, or you can choose to create your own, mix and match different sets and colors, or have a personalized style of invitation done for you. There are also many wedding invitation designers that you can choose from, including hot celebrities such as Vera Wang.

Adorn your wedding with the colors that you love, and begin the quest towards your special day with coordinating colorful wedding invitations. The choice is yours with your wedding invitations, from the color combinations, style, size and font type. By choosing these things to come together in harmony on your wedding invitations, you will have a truly unique invitation to send out to friends and family. You do not have to coordinate to your wedding colors if you don’t want to – you can choose whatever your heart desires for your wedding invitations.

One of the top trends for this year is the return to classic designs, including ‘white and silver’ – however, with the many type fonts that are available, even classic designs are made new again and unique. Choosing special type fonts for your personalized wedding invitations can take the classic look to a whole new level.

One of the other top trends for this year is perfect for the creative do-it-yourself person. Those brides and grooms who enjoy putting things together themselves in an effort to save some money and have some fun are at the top of the trendsetting list this year. Do your own invitations, mix them up and make them yours.

Color is big this year in wedding invitations and some of the top colors may surprise you. Orange is a bright, festive color that is quite versatile for a choice – from bright sunny oranges to deeper burnt umber-orange, orange is a color that is more readily appearing in wedding invitations. Monochromatic colors are also big – blues, white, black and yellows can make for interesting, subtle or flashy invitations. Depending on the style you are going for, choose a couple different blues, mix a deep blue with a butter yellow, or combine black, white and yellow or blue for a dramatic invitation that you can really call your own unique style.

Another big trend for this year is putting the focus on the envelopes. Envelopes for some are an after-thought, but this year, pay attention to the envelopes you are choosing for your invitations. Your envelope can coordinate with the invitation or contrast against it – whatever the choice, go for big and bold to make sure that your invitation stands out in the pile of mail that your invitees are receiving.

Regardless of the style of invitation you choose, be sure that you pay attention to the color. Choose colors that you like, mix them up with different contrasting colors, have some fun with it and enjoy the work of art that your unique, colorful wedding invitation has become.
