Simple Traditional Wedding Invitations

Sometimes wedding planning seems to be more complex than it has to be. Everything involves hundreds of decisions – from the type of filling in each layer of your wedding cake to the alterations of your dress to the placing of guests on the seating chart. Nothing seems simple when it comes to your wedding.

However, there is one way you can choose to simplify the event: you can choose to keep a simple color theme, such as white. And that white theme can begin with your invitations.

Simple White Wedding Invitations

While having fancy wedding invitations with lots of embellishments and colors may be nice for some couples, it’s not a necessity. In fact, since so many couples are now opting for bolder and brighter invitations, going the simple white invitation route may actually help your invitations stand out.

If you’re looking for white invitations, there are a number of lovely choices available. Don’t worry they aren’t just plain pieces of cardstock paper. These white invitations also include an image at the top, such as doves, joined rings, or even tulips. That means you can easily connect white invitations to another theme. Of course, all of the invitations come with matching envelopes.

White Wedding; Bold Reception

If you’ve decided to stay very traditional for your wedding, you could always choose to liven things up a bit more at your reception. Here’s an idea. Send out white wedding invitations but purchase separate reception cards that are brighter and bolder. For your celebration, keep the wedding simple and traditional: white gown, white flowers, etc. However, when you start planning the reception, have a little more fun. Include lots of colors, have fun and unusual entertainment (acrobats, magicians, clowns, etc.), and keep the refreshments casual at the reception so that it’s in sharp contrast to the elegant simplicity of your actual wedding. The bride might even decide to change colors between the wedding and reception – this is a good idea anyway if she’s worried about ruining her dress with food or beverage stains.

While many wedding planners insist you should be consistent with your wedding and reception, it’s your party and you get the final say so about what you want at your event. Sure, this idea may not be common but it’s definitely a great way to make your wedding stand out in the memories of all your guests. You might even inspire some of them to take a chance when planning their own weddings.
