Creative Winter Theme Wedding Invitation Ideas

Winter brides to be have a lot of choices to make when planning the type of invitation they want to use for their wedding. They can be elegant, glittery, covered with snowflakes and any other winter themed activity you can think of.

There are many winter theme wedding invitations that you can order from manufacturers or the artistic bride may design and make her invitations by hand. The invitations should set the tone for the wedding and reception that you are planning.

When choosing your winter theme invitations consider the colors you have chosen for your wedding. These colors will be used throughout the planning from your flowers to your cake and your bridesmaid’s dresses. Lighter colors are perfect for day weddings while jewel tones are beautiful for evening weddings.

The invitation design can incorporate a winter activity such as skiing, ice-skating, snowmobile rides or tobogganing. If your reception were held at a ski lodge the skiing invitation would be perfect. If you will be having a winter wedding in Sault St. Marie, snow mobile themed invitations would be perfect as this is a popular sport there.

Other winter theme wedding invitation ideas include the use of paper snowflake cutouts, glittering faux snow, pearl drop paint to embellish invitations, white velum paper overlays with gold or silver snowflakes, glitter or velvet ribbons or any other specialty craft item.

Stamping and embossing is another popular method to decorate the invitation. There are many winter themed stamps to choose from such as snowflakes, antique sleighs, holly, poinsettias and more. Scrap booking items are also popular to use on wedding invitations to give them a 3-D effect.

When making your invitations be sure to choose the best quality papers for the project. The cardstock should feel substantial in your hand. When printing your invitations on your computer remember to choose inks that are dark enough to be read easily.

You should also use more than two fonts but no more than three for an eye-catching invitation. The best size fonts are 10 and 12. These are the easiest read sizes. Anything smaller is hard to read and if it is larger it will look childish or unprofessional.

Make a unique invitation by using your engagement photo, a photo of your rings, or a photo of you enjoying a winter sport together. These types of invitations are more personal and are appropriate for informal weddings.

One important aspect of making your own winter theme wedding invitation is to keep within your budget. Costs quickly add up when making your own invitations. You must consider the costs of postage for each invitation and the R.S.V.P. card when planning your invitation budget. Additional postage will incur if you use oversized cards. Limit the use of more than two sheets of paper, such as the cardstock and a velum overlay and a ribbon.

Choosing a winter theme wedding invitation from a manufacturer can be an easy way to get your invitations in the shortest amount of time. If you have a time constraint and need them right away ordering them from a manufacturer is the best solution. There are many papers and designs to choose from. You can choose a foil insert that matches the color of your bridesmaid’s dresses, colored inks as well as coordinating R.S.V.P. cards and envelopes. All you will need to provide is the stamp.
