I know I've talked about wedding dresses and wedding cakes, but not once have I mentioned invitations! As a graphic design that is the first thing I should be thinking of when I think wedding. But my female brain likes to think like a little girl when I hear the word "wedding" and start thinking about princesses and fairy tale endings. I've seen a good amount of wedding invitations and most of them are pretty much similar to one another. You wouldn't be able to tell any of them apart. They might as well be the same wedding. You know what I'm talking about...script fonts, florals, ribbons, and a clean design with a lot of white space. Everybody wants that picture perfect wedding and sometimes cliche can become the easy way out when it comes to invitation. I mean they look pretty and classic so one can't go wrong. But being in the 21st century, we have more resources to go beyond the traditional invitation and create something spectacular and inspirational.
This is by far one of my favorite wedding invites yet. Photographers Trevor and Larissa, formerly
Ambient Studios has created something that's both innovative and unique to their personalities, film canister wedding invites. I would love one of these just to pull the paper "film" out. It will give a rush similar to pulling on a real film roll without messing up the film. Modern wedding photography is their niche so staying modern and unique with their wedding invites was no questions asked. These film canisters will also make great keepsakes since they're so out of the norm. You won't need to worry about people receiving your invites and then trashing them when they r.s.v.p. These are definitely keepers.
Sweet treats are always a creative way to bribe guests to attend your wedding or any occasion in that case. Italy based design agency
Uncle Pear has found a way to show wedding invites whimsically in a new light. As you can see, there is still a slight script font but the layout is definitely more modern. These candy bar packaged wedding invites are surely sweet and will get guests hyped up for the upcoming event.

Personally I feel in these modern times, wedding invites just like everything else in our lives, should reflect our personalities and be unique to our style. We have an amazing amount of resources to create a more memorable invite thus more memorable wedding. Everyone wants to be different and feel special. Don't be caught handing out traditional wedding invites. Modernize and personalize your wedding invites, but don't stray too far away and make your invites complicated and unsightly. At the end of the day, it's your special day. Choose what makes you happy. But remember, there are more options out there than just classic and traditonal!
