INVITATION IDEAS:
From: Heidi & Michael in Indianapolis, IN
Heidi personally designed the wedding invitations on her home computer, and featured a monogrammed “H” in deep red to match the wedding colors. The all-white invitations were tied with a red ribbon, and kept simple with no pictures, just elegant writing announcing the event.

“Our wedding invitation was the starting point in reflecting our cultures,” says Jodie. The couple’s invites combined Japanese and Chinese elements with a colorful Japanese washi paper wrap, and featured celadon green paper and red flowers on the outside and the Chinese “double happiness” character in green on the inside. “My father-in-law asked that we not use white for our invitations as he considers it bad luck,” Jodie explains. “As a compromise, the invitations sent to our friends were tied with celadon ribbons, while his parents’ invitations were tied with red ribbons.”

From: Kelly & Peter in Lansing, MI
"This was one of my favorite parts," Kelly says. "The silver backing really made the invitation pop and look more formal. I got so many compliments on them." All the components were tied together with a tiny silver thread, and the flower on the invitations is from a stamp Kelly found.
Invitations: Molly Lalley Graphic Design, Chicago, IL
From: Rebecca & Michael in Hamilton, NJ
The couple invited guests to their nuptials with ecru card stock invitations with black font and a T monogram at the top of the invite. For a touch of fall flair, Rebecca stamped the back of each invite with an oak tree design.
