I love this wedding trends over at Inviting Concepts!
Two of my favorite trends on the list were invites with hand-drawn illustrations and signature drinks!
Invitations with Hand-Drawn Illustrations
Hand-drawn graphics are an especially excellent touch for letterpress wedding invitations. The drawing is actually impressed into the paper, adding definition and charm to the art.

I was reading Michelle’s blog and there’s a question from her readers about wedding invitations etiquette.
Here’s a tips on who to invite in your wedding!
The scenario you describe – a small out-of-town wedding, followed by a party in the place you currently live – is a common one nowadays, because many of us settle away from our hometowns after college or because of a first job. So your family and friends will not find it odd or unusual that you are planning two celebrations in separate venues.
Create two separate guest lists – one for the wedding and the other for the party – and send separate invitations, even to the guests you plan to invite to both events. (Make it clear to guests invited to both that you do not expect two gifts.)
When making the guest list for the out of town wedding, invite the friends you would dearly love to see on that day. Let them make their own decisions about whether it’s feasible to travel.
Likewise, when making the guest list for the after-wedding party, include the out-of-towners from Pennsylvania who are most important to you – your childhood best friend, your favorite cousin – and when you see them in person make it clear that while you don’t expect them to travel if they can’t, you invited them them because on the off chance they can make it, you’d love to see them there.

Wedding invitations are certainly the foundations of a wedding celebration. The wedding invitations give the guests an idea of what will be your wedding theme about and as well as give them ideas on what to wear into your wedding. No matter if your wedding invitations is unique, formal one, or classic, as long as it will help your guests to have an idea on how to prepare themselves.
Sending out formal wedding invitations to guests even if you are having the bikers wedding is inappropriate because they might wear improper outfits. So you must also make sure that your wedding invitations will be in line with your wedding theme to avoid misunderstanding and everything will be comfortable.
Take note on this:
When selecting wedding invitations and before finally settling on one, you must first look into the setting of the wedding, either it is a formal wedding or a more casual wedding. It is absolutely wrong to give informal invitations if your wedding is a formal black tie one. Nonetheless, formal invitations are not appropriate and suitable for your wedding if it is an informal one.

Here are the most common questions the soon to be married couples are having in mind when they are planning a wedding. I was browsing through and encountered this article that you’ll be interested in.
Here are the 9 questions that might be in your mind when planning for your wedding invitation guest list:
- The bride’s family is paying… does that mean she gets to invite more guests? This decision should be made by the couple together with their parents. In general, the bride’s family may decide on the number of guests to be invited, but the groom’s family should be allotted a minimum of half of the guests spots.
- What should I do about a disapproving mother-in-law to be? Should we allow her to come anyway? Absolutely, under most circumstances your parents should be invited to the wedding. If she has chosen to do something odd like wear a black dress or mourning cap to display her feelings, let her. Think of how she will feel years later when she sees the wedding photos and realizes how foolish she was to attempt to ruin your wedding day.
- Do I have to allow my single friends to bring a guest? You do not have to allow your single guests to bring along a friend. If this person is involved in a long-term, committed relationship of which you aware, it would be courteous of you to invite both and this person should then receive his or her own personalized wedding invitation to the ceremony.
- How do I stop our mothers from adding guests to our list? This is a very proud time for mothers and fathers. Often mothers feel a part of the celebration so much so that they get overly excited and tend to invite all of their friends and colleagues. The best remedy to this problem is for you and your fiance to have a loving talk with your mothers and gently but firmly reiterate that the guest list has been established and that they should not invite any more guests.
- Do I have to invite my fiance’s ex… if his five-year old daughter will be a part of the ceremony? This would probably be uncomfortable for you and your fiance. The best solution would be to have a designated person to see to the child’s care during the ceremony and immediately after and opt to not invite the mom.
- Is it appropriate to send invitations to those I know won’t be able to attend? I don’t want them to think I am just trying to solicit a wedding gift. You should definitely send invitations to your close friends, family members and anyone else you would like to attend your ceremony and celebration. If they are unable to attend so be it, but it will not be because they were not invited. You might just be surprised and they may be there with bells on.
- Do I have to invite my bridesmaid’s parents?Although your bridesmaids might expect their parents to be invited, if your guests list is limited you might just need to explain that you were unable to do so. If you have known the family for a long time and are very close to them then you definitely should find a way to include these parents.
- May I only invite some children and restrict others? Unless a particular child is a part of the wedding party, you should deal with all of the children involved in the same manner. It would be rude to inform your other guests that their children are not invited and then they arrive only to see other children who are not in the wedding party at the celebration.
- What is the rule on close relations? Do I have to invite a close relation if we have not spoken in years? You should be kind and invite this relative just as you are the rest of the family. The rule of etiquette is that you deal kindly and mannerly with others and do the right thing. Invite your estranged relative and if he or she comes great; if they don’t come, then your conscience is clear.
