Trend alert: sophisticated wedding invitations

If you’re having an upscale and elegant wedding, it’s important to send out wedding invitations that are just as formal to set the tone. The same goes for any other big event, whether it’s a retirement party, birthday bash or office get-together. Here are a few of the most popular glamorous invitation trends:

Thick invitations
Send your future guests a sturdy invitation made with luxury paper. Thick stationery like this Thick Panel – Invitation is associated with a more formal event. Bright white paper with a thick panel border and elegant black text work together to create an invitation fit for royalty.

Elegant printing processes
This is different from the traditional printing techniques because these methods produce invitations with wording that truly stands out.

Letterpress
Letterpress is a type of printing that uses a plate, which applies pressure to the paper to create a crisp imprinted image. Take this Elegant Flowers Letterpress – Invitation, for example. Your initial is pressed into the top of the invitation and is surrounded by a circle of intricate flowers. Below, you’ll find all of your important wedding information exquisitely pressed into the paper for a true work of art.

Engraving
Engraved invitations are produced by pressing a metal plate against paper, causing the letters to be raised. This crisp, clean printing process exudes elegance and sophistication. This Classic Ecru – Engraved Invitation features engraved black wording with embossed dots bordering all of the information for a classic and formal effect.

Foil stamping
Looking to add a bit of sparkle and shine for your wedding invitations? This effect can easily be accomplished with shimmering designs stamped onto your stationery. This creates a look of luxury and helps your invites stand out. This Announcing – Shimmer White – Invitation allows you to choose between a variety of foil colors to be printed onto your choice of paper for a modern design.

Laser cutting
Laser-cut invitations are simple, but exude an elegance unlike any other. This precise method uses a laser to cut into stationery to produce a pattern or design. The intricate details that result from this printing method are extraordinary. This Laser Cut Dotted Flourish – Invitation is printed on gold shimmering paper with a laser-cut card featuring a detailed design.
