Simple, Easy, Minimal Wedding Invitations

“The greatest sophistication is simplicity.”

If these remarks from Leonardo da Vinci resonate with you, you are at the right place.  Simple wedding invites can demonstrate to your guests that less is more. 

Follow these 5 wedding invitation ideas to create stunning yet minimal wedding invitations. 

• Invitations in black and white

The first step is to limit your color choices. It’s a simple approach to showing off your minimalist style when it comes to picking out the colors for your big day. Your wedding invitations, bridal party gowns, and flower arrangements should all have the same two or three hues. Do not be fooled by the idea that a restricted color pallet is dull or unoriginal. 

If you’re looking for a traditional color scheme, black and white is a good place to start. You may choose fuchsia or turquoise as an accent hue for spring and summer weddings, while autumn and winter weddings may need burgundy or forest green. Make sure your color scheme is in sync with your minimalist wedding plans by taking some time to think about it.

• Don’t go over the top with fonts.

The number of fonts accessible now is close to 300,000. When designing your wedding invitations and other wedding stationery, you may be tempted to use a variety of fonts, but consider whether or not it matches your minimalist goals. 

A simple and beautiful wedding invitation that shows off your style is best created by using a single font across the whole wedding stationery suite. This doesn’t imply that you have to stick to a dull block typeface for your text. When it comes to wedding invites, you may opt for a beautiful cursive font, but bear in mind that your guests will need to be able to see all the crucial information.

• Include Only Necessary Information

Surely you’ve had the experience of receiving a wedding invitation that was so full of superfluous words that you believed you were reading something from the 18th century. For those who like the basic things in life, this may not have been your preferred method of sending an invitation. 

The big day is almost here, so don’t overdo it with the frivolous words and phrases on your wedding invites. Your visitors will appreciate how much simpler it will be to read your invites if you avoid making them seem packed.

When composing your wedding invitation text, remember to make it simple. When you can simply say, “Please join us,” you don’t need to add, “the pleasure of your presence is desired.”

• Use A Picture

“A picture is worth a thousand words” is one of the most used expressions in the English language. If you want to construct a simple yet stunning wedding invitation, you may use a picture or photo. Make sure to include one of your engagement images on your invitation if you think it’s appropriate.

If you’re having a destination wedding, a snapshot of the location of your nuptials might add visual appeal to your invitation and encourage guests to attend. It’s possible to include photos in your design without detracting from the clean, minimalist look you’re going for.

• Using the Envelope as a Creative Tool

Your wedding envelopes are an often-overlooked opportunity to showcase your minimalistic but classy style. It’s possible to show off a pared-down look on your outer envelope by using a basic stamp or calligraphy to address your invites to loved ones. Here’s another opportunity to be innovative, straightforward, and aesthetically pleasing.

• Don’t forget to include the inside envelope with your wedding invitations.

Depending on the formality of your invites, you may choose from a variety of ways to address your guests on the inside of the wedding envelope. Take a good look at your guest list and double-check that the inner envelopes you send out to your guests are addressed appropriately.

Final Word

To make the most of the “less is more” theme on your wedding invites, use these five-pointers as a style manual. Invitations are an excellent way for you to give your guests an idea of what to anticipate at your wedding. They should know that your wedding will be both simple and lovely, just as you are.
