Love and weddings are always fascinating goals for any couple. It is always a plus to say your vows in a beautiful area with the company of other close loved ones. To start a journey with your beloved, the mood shall be created and the invitation card should be memorable and original. When it comes to destination weddings, it would be wise to go for the cute and creative passport invitations. These invitations not only serve as informative to guests but also bring them anticipation for the trip. Here is how you can create fabulous passport wedding invitations that will depict your destination wedding.
Why Choose Passport-Themed Invitations?
But, do you wonder why passport-themed wedding invitations are good for couples who plan to have a destination wedding? Normal invites may not have the taste of traveling in them as is the case with destination weddings. On the other hand, a passport theme is much quicker at bringing your guests to the layout of the wedding venue. That you have selected. It is a very creative approach to help your guests experience subconsciously the fun and excitement in anticipation of your event.
Passport invitations are also very flexible and versatile as invitations in terms of what you can put on them. It is possible to use the color combination of the chosen motif for the wedding and the fonts and images associated with the wedding’s location. You could have a reception on a beach or any great place anywhere in the world. And the design can be according to your theme.
Choosing the Right Design Elements
Extra care is made towards the design elements of the wedding invitations. When designing a theme for the wedding remember the following:
First, select samples of selective colors. Some couples might opt for the traditional-looking deep blue with gold accents to resemble a passport. Or the two accessories could just reflect the color of the wedding either literally or by choosing colors from the location. For instance, if you are planning for a beach wedding you could come up with tinges of turquoise as well as coral. For a wedding such as a country wedding or a vintage wedding an earthen color and textured paper would make a great décor.
Secondly, think about the look of the cover of your passport invitation. Just a simple and elegant design can mimic an actual passport. And one can put the monogram or wedding date in the place of the emblem of the country. You could also stamp or illustrate the cover in the same way with images appealing to the wedding venue.
Personalizing the Inside Pages
Once the cover is complete then it comes to the internal pages of your passport colorful invitation. It’s here that you can incorporate as many styles and designs into the invitation as you desire for your wedding. That is why you could think of every page as an opportunity to give your guests some information. But it has to remain somehow related to traveling.
Usually, one page has two photos. One can contain an ‘identification photo’ as a full-face photo of a couple happy on their engagement shoot. Or a funny snap. Another page could be a “visa” section where you post the date of the wedding and place along with additional information. Such as dress code or travel. You should also have an option of a “travel schedule” where you lay down the activities to be undertaken during the wedding day.
Adding Decorative Touches
But decorations are the most appealing elements of passport-themed wedding invites. Even these small details, can make the invitations more unique and outstanding from the others. A great idea for the addition is using stamps made with respect to the geographical place of your wedding. These stamps can be used in printing on the invitation. Or even embossed to create the feel of an original passport with a number of travel stamps.
One of the many brilliant ideas is to use a real string or ribbon to attach the pages of the invitation. And make the whole story look like a real passport book. For a little added flair, you can affix a wax seal to the envelope or the cover of the invitation. So that guests will feel more transported to a past era that would automatically deem the invitation formal.
Digital or Printed Invitations?
As with your overall theme, you also have to decide whether or not to go for an online passport or whether to print one. Each of them has their advantages.
Passport invitations that are printed can be a wonderful memento and guests can take these invitations home with them for several years. They make a concrete and rather rich part of your preparations for the wedding. But can be somewhat costly especially when one is used to buying high-quality raw materials. And specially designed shipping containers.
That is why digital invitations are friendly to the environment. They do not cost much, and save time for you and your guests. But as we have seen above, you can still have a passport-like design for your website and other digital platforms with equal style and flair. Some couples use a combo of both. Where those who are nearby are sent physical cards, while those far away are sent electronic invitations.
Conclusion
A perfect example is having a beautiful passport-themed wedding invitation. This will well prepare your guests for the kind of wedding you are going to have. It requires extra effort and time to give a special touch to the address, and the cover of the invitation and create wonderful inside pages. That will give the invitation the aspect that you desire about your desired theme and setting of your wedding. Whether you opt for a paper or online invitation, the passport theme will enrich your guests. And give them all the necessary information, impressively.
