Wedding Paper 101: Styles for Every Couple

We swoon over pretty paper goods on the daily, but when it comes to choosing the perfect invites for our very own Big Days? We need help. So today we’re turning to our friends at Wedding Paper Divas for a breakdown of the who, what and where of invitation suites – from selecting the right style to picking the perfect embellishments. Scroll below for a look.

CHOOSING YOUR STYLE

Setting the right tone for your Big Day begins and ends with your invitation suite, so making sure your style is reflected in every.last.piece of gorgeous paper? Sooo important. Which means that whether you’re saying “I do” on a rooftop overlooking the city or barefoot in your favorite garden, your invitations should most definitely reflect your Big Day choices. Here’s a helpful rundown to see just where you fit:

VINTAGE

This style is for all of you ladies planning on rockin’ your grandmother’s lace gown or partying the night away on New Year’s Eve in Great Gatsby fashion. In other words? You love things that are a tad bit old fashioned.. and your wedding will most definitely reflect that.

MODERN

Streamlined and contemporary, you like things to be clean and sophisticated with just a touch of luxurious flare. This style is for the daring duos tying the knot in a loft or in your favorite art museum.

WHIMSICAL

Your groom plans to don his favorite pair of suspenders and YOU plan on incorporating sweet little Parisian details into every.last.moment of your Big Day, because that is where you and your love met. One look at your wedding day and it’s obvious that whimsy and romance rule the roost, and your invites should be just as awesome.

CLASSIC & FORMAL

Ever since you first saw Cinderella, you knew a classic wedding was for you. Think a breathtaking ballgown, a traditional ceremony in your childhood chapel and a ballroom reception with champagne flowing all night long. You’ll most definitely want to set the tone for this Black Tie affair, starting with the Save the Date, so your guests know this is a night to get their fancy on.

RUSTIC

Calling all of you lovers of lace gowns, barn dancin’ and mason jars: this style is for you. Whether that’s an all-out rustic affair in the mountains of Montana or a sweet rustic meets romantic affair in a vineyard in Southern Cal, this is definitely the style you’ll want to announce the celebrations with.

PHOTO

Don’t want to stick to a theme or style and would rather showcase your glowing mugs? Well, Wedding Paper Divas has that, too. Choose this style for ANY wedding you wish… your guests will be happy to see that true love smiling through ever piece of correspondance.

CHOOSING YOUR FEATURES

You can’t have a wedding invitation without adding a little extra bling. And Wedding Paper Diva’s fabulous options? Well, they’ll make your heart happy. From personalized foil-stamping to laser-cut intricacies, your invite will most definitely make a statement. Keep scrolling for the options…

FOIL-STAMPED

To get technical, foil-stamping is a printing technique where foil is permanently adhered to your invite. To get non-technical, it makes your invites look really, really pretty. Available in gold, silver, rose gold and copper, the foil-stamped options at Wedding Paper Divas will most definitely leave your guests talking… and they shimmer, y’all. They shimmer.

LASER-CUT

Laser-cut invitations always, always make a statement and the lineup at Wedding Paper Divas is certainly no exception. From romantic to modern, wowing your guests has never been easier than with these intricate designs that are as delicate as they are impressive.

LETTERPRESS

A time-honored technique that dates back to the 1400’s (seriously!), letterpress invites are perfect for everything from casual beach affairs to that 500-person ballroom soiree. All of you paper lovers will agree, letterpress is ah-mazing. And, oh are they ever stunning. So, so stunning.

THERMOGRAPHY

Thermography (aka, engraving’s little cousin) makes a bold statement with its raised printing technique and cost-effective price tag. The combo is music to any bride’s ears… and it looks absolutely beautiful when sent out to your nearest and dearest. You can’t go wrong here.

PERSONALIZED FOIL

Take everything you know about foil-stamped invites and then PERSONALIZE THEM. Yep, you read that right… Wedding Paper Divas now offers personalized foil-stamped pretties that are as awesome as they sound. It’s like having your name in lights from the minute you send out those Save the Dates. You can’t make this stuff up.
