Things to Consider When Choosing Wedding Napkins

It’s the smallest things in a wedding that guests remember the most. One detail that adds a delightful touch to your wedding reception is personalized napkins. While seemingly small, napkins can help you create a beautiful and cohesive look for your big day. In this month’s blog, we will help you choose the right napkin type, design, color, and even an accessory to go with your wedding napkins.

Napkin Theme

Before start exploring your napkin options, have a clear vision of your wedding’s theme. If you have a specific wedding theme, you want to design napkins that reflect that. For instance, beach treasures napkins could be the perfect choice for a summer-themed wedding. The design should complement your overall theme and serve as a beautiful accent to the table setting, rather than competing with it.

Choosing the Right Napkin Type

When it comes to selecting napkins for your wedding, there are many types to consider. The most common options include linen and paper napkins. Each material offers a different aesthetic and comes with its own set of benefits. Linen napkins, for example, exude an elegant and luxurious feel, while paper napkins are more budget-friendly and convenient for disposal.

Choosing the Right Color Palette

The color of your wedding napkins can significantly impact the overall look of your reception. Consider your wedding color palette and choose napkin colors that complement or contrast with the other elements. You can match the napkin color to the bridesmaids’ dresses, the floral arrangements, or even the invitations.

You can incorporate your wedding date, initials, or a special message that holds significance for you and your partner.

Choosing the Right Design

When selecting a wedding welcome sign, it is important to consider the design elements that are consistent with your wedding invitations. Look for common motifs, patterns, or colors that can be replicated on the signage. For example, if your invitations feature delicate floral illustrations, opt for an acrylic sign with similar floral accents. This will create a visual connection between the invitation, the welcome sign, and the wedding theme.

Coordinating Colors

When selecting your wedding welcome sign, keep in mind that the color of the sign should fit your wedding stationery color. Start by examining the color palette used in your wedding invitations. Are they soft and romantic pastels, bold and vibrant hues, or elegant and timeless neutrals? Understanding the color scheme will help you create a subtle consistency that ties the wedding sign and wedding invitations together.

Considering the Material and Finishing

Beyond design and color, consider the material and finishing options for your acrylic welcome sign. If you’re our client, we recommend sign material based on the wedding style and the wedding invitations’ feel. For instance, if your invitations have a sleek and modern design, opt for a mirrored acrylic sign. On the other hand, if your invitations include a couple’s photo, a clean and modern photo welcome sign might be the perfect choice.

Summer is the season of love, and what better way to celebrate than with a beautiful wedding? Whether you’re planning a beachside ceremony or a garden party, your wedding invitations are the perfect way to set the tone for your big day. With so many options, it can take time to figure out where to start. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to five summer wedding invitation themes that are sure to inspire!

1. Beach Wedding Invitations: Beach weddings are a popular choice for the summer, and your invitations can reflect this theme. Consider using light blue and sand colors, seashells, or starfish motifs to give your invitations a beachy feel. You could also use a tropical color scheme, like bright pink or coral, to give your invitations a fun, summery vibe.

2. Rustic Wedding Invitations: If you’re looking for a more nostalgic and rural atmosphere, rustic weddings are great for the outdoors. Your themes can include natural materials like wood or burlap while incorporating floral designs or lace accents to give your invitations a rustic, summery feel.

3. Garden Wedding Invitations: Garden weddings are a beautiful and scenic choice – perfect for gorgeous photo opportunities. Consider using floral designs, soft pastel colors, or botanical motifs to give your invitations a garden-inspired feel. You could also use watercolor designs.

4. Nautical Wedding Invitations: Similar to beach weddings, a nautical theme is perfect for the seaside. Often used with blue and white color schemes, a nautical wedding is perfect for sailors and boat-lovers. Your invitations can include ocean blue colors, anchor or rope motifs, or boat designs.

5. Modern Wedding Invitations: If you’re looking for a more contemporary feel, consider using modern designs for your summer wedding invitations. You could use bold, bright colors, geometric designs, or metallic accents to give your invitations a modern, sophisticated feel.

Ways to Make Your Wedding Invitation Design POP!

December 30, 2019 / admin / 0 Comments

When it comes to your wedding invitations, you always want them to stand out. Your invitations present you with an opportunity to create something that is unique to you by combining beautiful elements and printing techniques. The last thing you want is for your invitations to look similar or the same to other invitations you have seen. In order to make yours unique and really add that ‘wow’ factor, then you are going to need to take some time and prepare a unique invitation. Read on and find a few ways that will really make yours stand out against the rest.

Use a Beautiful Typeface

A beautiful typeface is a must with any wedding invitation. Some of the options that are a perfect fit include scripts, brush, calligraphy, and handwriting fonts. These are highly recommended because of the limited text on an invitation. Try to pair one of these typefaces with a simpler font like sans serif for contrast. You can use the more elegant type for names and sans serif for the rest to really make them stand out.

Customize a Template

When it comes to a template, if you start with a premade invitation, it can be a great way to get the ball rolling on your custom design. It can give you an idea on what style best fits the couple and move on from there. A good template is one that you can fully customize to suit your unique needs. Change colors, typefaces, pictures, or themes until you create something you truly love.

Photo Keepsake Option

When you create an invitation, the recipient may throw it away after writing down the date in their calendar. In order to make your invitation more of a keepsake, create one that doubles as a beautiful wedding photo. When you use a great image and match it with some simple calligraphy, you can turn it into a design that recipients will want to hold onto.

Print on Quality Paper

Whenever you create something that is printed, nothing says special occasion like quality paper. You will want to opt in for something with adequate weight and texture. A sturdy invitation on good paper will always look better and more official.

When you need your invitations printed perfectly, without imperfections, you need the right wedding print shop. That’s where we come in, here at Forever Friends you can count on us to provide you with beautifully printed invitations.

How to Design Wedding Invitations

August 22, 2019 / admin / 0 Comments

A lot of planning goes into the design of your wedding invitations. From selecting an elegant and legible font, to picking the size of your card, you can showcase your personality and style to your guests while still including all of the necessary information. In this month’s blog, we’re looking at how to design wedding invitations with a few key steps to remember along the way!

Size and Print

First, you want to pick the shape and size of the invitation; these specifications will give you a lot of information and make the design process a little more worry-free. Depending on your preference to larger or smaller cards, this can determine how much information you can fit, as well as other pictures and memorabilia of you and your partner. It can also determine your postage situation (if you’ll need to pay extra costs for shipping).

Visual Theme

Is your wedding casual? Perhaps it’s a black-tie event? Pick a visual theme for your wedding invitations that matches the tone/theme of your wedding. You’ll want to settle on a style that reflects your personality as a couple. You might spend a few days looking at options online, or maybe you already have a concept in mind. Design elements such as color, typography and other style flourishes can also be used for the actual event (including table cards and signage).

Font/Typeface

The font on your wedding invitation can speak volumes. While script writing is a popular style for traditional cards, modern designs can be just as sleek and sophisticated. While you are thinking about typefaces, this is the perfect time to think about the words going on the card. Pick a typeface that works with your actual letters. (Sometimes a great font doesn’t look the way you like with certain letter combinations.) Make sure to test different fonts with important information like the date, time, and location of your wedding.

Collect Images

Gather up your favorite photos as a couple to put on your card; this kind of display can make your wedding invitation more personal. If you have custom photos from a shoot, then be sure that they will fit the area of your card. You don’t want your images to come out blurry or too small where no one can see them. High-quality and high-resolution photos are the way to go!

Conclusion

Of course, there are so many different ways you can express your creativity with a wedding invitation. If you need a little extra help in the planning process, then we recommend Forever Friends. With our invitation expertise, we can help you customize a beautiful wedding card for you and your guests to remember forever!
