Wedding Invitations

When you're choosing your wedding invitations, consider the style of your wedding day. If you're marrying at a country club, for example, a preppy pattern like polka dots and stripes and a mix of modern and formal fonts can nicely complement a playful wedding day.

Homemade Wedding Invitations

If you've decided to go the DIY route for your wedding invitations, there are a ton of options. Emboss your wedding invitations or envelopes, find just the right font, and design your very own personalized wedding day motif; then use it on all your wedding day details.

Wedding Calligraphy Styles

A monogram can create a common style for your wedding. Ask your cake baker if they can monogram your wedding cake with a design that you've incorporated elsewhere -- it's a great way to tie your stationery together with your wedding cake.
