Be as Modern or Traditional as You Wanna Be

Eva Paul
Tradition calls for an thick white wedding invitation engraved with black ink. Today, many couples are opting for color but still using traditional wording and formal style. I'm here to tell you that there are no hard and fast rules! Just try to match your wedding invitation to the style and formality of your wedding. Having a formal wedding? Go for the traditional engraved card, or take it a step even further and use elaborate hand calligraphy. But, if you're getting married in an urban loft with your favorite band playing, there's no reason not to use color, pattern and texture to evoke your event.
