Here at The Knot, we're passionate about paper goods. We love them so much that we have our own one-stop stationery shop: The Knot Invitations. But what makes an awesome wedding invitation design, well, awesome? The best designs fuse style with personality. They excite and delight. They make couples—and their guests—feel something.

Needless to say, our editors get very excited about chic wedding stationery. And we'll never pass up an opportunity to gush about it. Below, you'll find (just a few of) our current favorites that we couldn't keep to ourselves. Whimsical, modern, retro, romantic—these editors' picks really run the gamut. We were all drawn to something different, and that's the beauty of it.

Like what you see? If a design delights you as much as it delighted us, you're in luck. For every stylish wedding invitation and save-the-date on this list, there's a full suite of other paper products that match. Some even coordinate with a matching wedding website design.

Retro Shapes

pink, orange and red modern wedding invitation

"I'm tempted to design my entire wedding around this stationery—it's that awesome. The attention-grabbing lines, mixed fonts and contrasting colors are all the epitome of cool. Start with the save-the-date (there's a fun postcard option), then wow your guests with the rest of the invitation suite." —Emily Platt, Editor, E-Commerce

At Last

"I love the whimsical calligraphy on this romantic save-the-date. It's effortlessly elegant—plus, I'm pretty sure it's impossible to not be serenaded by Etta James' voice in your head. The blue-and-white color combo is a classic choice that'll never go out of style (and it's a creative way to incorporate something blue too)." —Sarah Hanlon, Associate Editor, Digital

Modern Palm

green and blue wedding invitation with palm frond pattern

"Tropical is always a good idea in my book. The modern palm leaves add a playful tone to an otherwise neutral invitation, giving a subtle wink to the warm, waterside celebration that's to come." —Morgan Gibson, Director, Digital Content

Watercolor Blooms

watercolor wedding invitation with pastel floral design

"Okay, but have you ever seen a more striking duo than romantic florals and pretty watercolors? These vintage-style invites are basically my dream wedding stationery. Choose between six different colorways to suit the season and style of your event." —Naoimh O'Hare, Assistant Editor, E-Commerce

Minimal Brush

save the date with couple portrait and watercolor brushstrokes

"I'm a huge fan of this save-the-date because it combines the two things I love: amazing photography and minimal design. Show off your future wedding location in a stunning landscape shot or send your guests a sweet picture from your engagement session. Whatever you choose, your loved ones will be happy to hang onto this stationery (or even post it on their fridge!)." —Maddy Sims, Associate Editor, Digital

Coastal Love

blue and white wedding stationery suite with ocean motifs

"I've read a good amount of Greek mythology over the last year, so anything involving the sea paints a story of longing and romance. This particular invitation suite, with its matching wedding website, is simple and soothing. The watercolor effect of the optional envelope liner pairs nicely against the matte, woven eggshell paper, ultimately providing a sense of arrival for your loved ones." —Esther Lee, Senior Editor, News & Culture

Modern Floral

save the date with initials on modern floral background

"If I could wear this design, I probably would—I love the bold, earthy colors and chunky floral pattern. Not to mention the font which is clean and minimalist without feeling too plain. Something that makes me love it more? This save-the-date is part of The Knot Women's Artist Collective, which features original designs from incredible women artists who are pioneers in their space." —MaryKate Callahan, Senior Manager, Content Strategy
