But trust us, it’s crucial to create a cohesive wedding day and stationery suite. It’s important to ensure that every paper detail aligns with your theme, as it brings your wedding style together.

Matching Colors and Fonts

The two primary factors to consider are color schemes and fonts when planning your wedding invitations. Choosing the right color palette is a good starting point as it helps you visualize the aesthetic you want for your special day. For instance, you can think about the types of flowers you want and whether you prefer a lot of greenery, vibrant pops of color, or autumn leaves to create a moody autumn wedding color theme. Then, choose fonts that complement the style of your wedding to create a visually appealing look that will tie your entire event together.

Design Elements and Embellishments

In addition to colors and fonts, consider incorporating design elements and embellishments that reflect your wedding theme. For example, if you are having a summer wedding, consider including seashell motifs or watercolor images of waves on your invitations. If you are having a vintage-inspired wedding, opt for lace accents or antique patterns. These small details can make a big impact and help to convey the overall aesthetic of your wedding.

Personalize Your Invitations

Adding a personal touch to your invitations will make them even more special. Consider including elements that reflect your personalities as a couple. You could feature your monogram, a custom illustration, or even a photo of the two of you. Personalization adds a unique and sentimental touch to your invitations.

The Dos and Don’ts of Addressing Wedding Invitations

August 18, 2023 / / 0 Comments

Planning a wedding involves numerous details, and one of the most important aspects is addressing the invitations. Properly addressing wedding invitations not only adds a touch of elegance to your special day but also ensures that your guests receive their invitations in a timely manner. In this blog post, we will guide you through the dos and don’ts of addressing wedding invitations, helping you create a polished and organized invitation list.

Key Tips and Etiquette

When addressing wedding invitations, it is essential to follow certain etiquettes and guidelines to ensure that your invitations are received with warmth and appreciation.

  1. DO use formal titles when addressing the invitations, such as Mr., Mrs., Ms., or Doctor. This shows respect and acknowledges the individual’s status.
  2. DO include the full names of each guest and avoid using abbreviations. This ensures clarity and avoids any confusion.
  3. DO use the correct phrase when referring to the wedding location. When the wedding is being held in a place of worship, “the honour of your presence” phrase is used. When held at other locations, “the pleasure of your company” is traditionally used.
  4. DO use a legible and elegant font or handwriting style for the addresses, ensuring that they are easy to read. Remember to spell out the full address, including street names and states, rather than using abbreviations. If all guests are local, the state may be omitted.
  5. DO write out the date and year. For example: “two thousand twenty-three”.

What to Avoid and Remember

On the other hand, there are a few don’ts to keep in mind when addressing wedding invitations.

  1. DON’T use nicknames or informal names unless specifically requested by the guest. Always use the formal names that the individuals prefer.
  2. DON’T use labels on the envelopes. Handwriting the addresses adds a personal touch and shows that you’ve taken the time and effort to address the invitation individually. Alternatively, using imprint techniques such as letterpress, embossing, or foil colors, can elevate the quality of your invitation.
  3. DON’T forget to double-check the addresses for accuracy. Mistakes in addresses can lead to invitations being undelivered or returned, causing unnecessary delays and confusion.

Creating a Cohesive Wedding Stationery Suite: Ideas and Inspiration

July 28, 2023 / / 0 Comments

Planning a wedding involves careful attention to detail, and one of the essential elements is the wedding stationery suite. A cohesive stationery suite sets the tone for your special day and creates a consistent theme that ties all the elements together. From save-the-dates to invitations, menus, and thank-you cards, a harmonious stationery suite adds elegance and sophistication to your wedding. In this blog post, we will explore ideas and inspiration for creating a cohesive wedding stationery suite that reflects your unique style and captures the essence of your special day.

Incorporate Theme Colors

A cohesive wedding stationery suite starts with a well-thought-out design concept. Consider the theme, colors, and overall aesthetic you envision for your wedding. Begin by selecting a color palette that complements your wedding theme and personal style. Incorporate these colors throughout your stationery suite to create a harmonious look. From the invitations to the place cards, each piece should reflect the chosen color scheme, ensuring a cohesive and visually appealing presentation.

Choosing the Right Font

Another important aspect of a cohesive stationery suite is the use of consistent fonts and typography. Choose fonts that match the overall style of your wedding, whether it’s modern and minimalist or romantic and elegant. Consistency in font choices across all the stationery elements creates a professional and polished look. Consider using a combination of fonts for headings, body text, and decorative accents to add visual interest while maintaining a cohesive feel.

Tie It Altogether!

In addition to colors and fonts, incorporating design elements and motifs that tie into your wedding theme can also enhance the cohesiveness of your stationery suite. For example, if you’re having a beach wedding, consider incorporating seashells or waves into the design. If you’re having a garden-themed wedding, incorporating elements such as flowers and butterflies can add a touch of charm. The key is to select design elements that resonate with your wedding theme and incorporate them thoughtfully throughout your stationery suite.

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.

We’ve rounded up the coolest 2023 wedding invitation trends to help you get ahead of the curve this wedding season by choosing a wedding invitation that reflects your style and the year’s top trends.

This one-of-a-kind idea has taken the wedding stationery world by storm and is a wonderful way to add another layer of personalization. If you’re thinking about bringing a little bit of old-world charm to your big day, we definitely advise you to go for wax sealing your invitation.

How to Create the Wedding Card Invitations of Your Dreams

March 7, 2023 / / 0 Comments

Congratulations on your engagement! Now that the word ‘YES’ has been said, you are probably thinking ahead and want everything to be organized when the big day comes. For it to be a successful event, you have to go through your wedding checklist, including the creation of your wedding invitations. Follow the steps below on how to create beautiful and unique wedding card invitations!

Start With the Guest List

As the bride or the groom, your guests will see you in a clean, white dress or tux while walking down the aisle (just like you’re imagining now). Therefore, you want all your loved ones and friends to share this joyful moment with you. Start by making a list of all the people you would love to invite to your wedding. This list will help you determine how many invitations and postage you need to create and buy.

Choose a Suitable Design

Between the paper types, font, theme, sizing, inserts, and cost, there’s a lot to consider before you make it to the mailbox. Captivating wedding color schemes, the season, and design play a key role in selecting a suitable invitation card and setting the stage for what your guests will expect for your wedding day. There’s a variety of options to choose from, so we highly recommend ordering blank samples to see and feel the quality of the cards.

Double-Check Your Information

Your wedding stationery is a beautiful work of art, so make sure the information is accurate! You don’t want to send out wedding invitations with spelling errors or incorrect information, so double-check everything. This includes the wedding date, the time of the ceremony, the name of the wedding venue, and your guests’ names. It’s a good idea to have a second opinion or a fresh set of eyes to help check your information.

How to Design the Perfect Summer Wedding Invitation

February 6, 2023 / / 0 Comments

Summer weddings are perfect for celebrating the union and love between two people. The summer season offers an abundance of elegant options for your special day, from vibrant and fresh colors to incredible weather. Your invitation can imitate the summer to bring your loved ones together for your wedding. The following are some ways to design the perfect summer wedding invitation.

1. Implement the Venue into the Design

An illustration of your wedding destination will set the tone for your perfect summer wedding. For example, if you’re having a beach wedding, consider a beach themed invitation card. This will serve as a perfect reminder and keepsake for years to come. Having your wedding destination as the theme of your wedding card will add flair and color to your invitation, while giving guests a sneak peek!

2. Add Flora and Warmth

A dash of green can brighten up your wedding invitation. Bring in the summer vibes with a tropical-inspired design. You can create an illustrated tropical scene and set the tone with an invitation featuring plenty of warm-weather greenery. From early summer buds to the full bloom of bright colors, your wedding invitation will look great with this theme.

3. Incorporate Pastel Colors and a Portrait

Summer isn’t all about bold hues and bright colors. You can choose pastels or something simple instead if you prefer a softer theme! Consider a soft, romantic palette while featuring a lovely portrait of you and your partner. This will make your invitation more personalized and special.

Ideas for a Fairy Tale Christmas Wedding

December 5, 2022 / / 0 Comments

Christmas time is a warm and enchanting theme to celebrate your wedding. At Forever Friends, we love this beautiful time of the year. However, Christmas has its own decoration codes and trends, which can vary. Therefore, we are going to share all the modern, creative ideas for decorations and tips to stage your fabulous wedding in the spirit of Christmas, so continue reading!

Create a Chic Christmas Atmosphere

Set the tone for your big day by adopting vintage Christmas table decorations for your wedding. A few candles, a wooden table, and chic crockery will do the trick. But, of course, everything will go perfectly with red roses, or flowers of your choice, as centerpieces are guaranteed to introduce your guests to a winter wonderland wedding.

Also, to create an entertaining wedding, think about the wedding reception. You can opt for customized menu cards and napkins, as well as personalized party favors!

Table Decoration Ideas for a Festive Party

Getting married during the Christmas season means there’s tons of decoration options available. Here are some cute holiday ideas!

For your centerpiece, we recommend using rising vases because they can hold large bouquets of colorful flowers and serve as a pillar to be surrounded by candles. Playing with color is not only done with the flowers, but this is also possible with the dishes and utensils. On a white tablecloth, for instance, you can display glasses, Christmas spoon holders, or even customized napkins and fabulous wedding table numbers.

Learn more about creative wedding table number ideas here.

Nice Gifts for Your Guests

Also, to thank your guests for their time and love, you should think about giving them gifts. Party favor boxes with sweets are a safe bet. While treats are a must during a wedding, these are not the only gift ideas for guests. Some other ideas include wicker baskets of fruits, coffee and tea, souvenir items, and much more.

Wedding Cards with a Winter Theme

There is nothing more romantic than a winter wedding. To announce your big day with elegance, use a Christmas theme as your wedding invitation inspiration. Snowflakes, beautiful painted mountain designs, or winter red berries will really elevate the overall design.
