Step 4Invitation design
Now that you have the information you want to put on your invitation,
Plan the design for your invitation.
What is symbolic to your relationship?
For this specific wedding, the symbol on the top right side is a icon of a butterfly, symbolic to my mothers side of the family, descendants of a samurai colony that was known for its intricate and beautiful art. They were killed because the didn't practice fighting, and practiced art instead (that's pretty funny, despite its... morbidity?) Anyways, yes we are Japanese.
The sakura (cherry blossom) tree in the back is... well a sakura tree, and a pretty background that I thought would go well with a irregular text design. My father was particularly into silk screening so he actually went and made silkscreens for the sakura pattern. Talk about overachieving...
The following designs are from the internet.
If you're not particularly artistic, that's okay! Ask one of your friends, or simply keep it simple.
I would personally avoid flowery, golden and crazy swirls simply because they're overused, and also a little "simple" goes a LOONGG way.
If you can, stick with a maximum of three colors for the entire theme. This doesn't include the black of text printing, or white of white paper, but if black is a major color, like the second external picture I have here, then count that as a color.
KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid
See following designs.
Another great way to create elegant invitations is to use semi-clear vellum. It is a frosted sheet of paper that creates a soft light on your font, making it appear more... angelic... n'stuff.
Thankfully, we already have an instructables on this:
