I’m at the
stage in my life where it seems like everyone is getting married. Every other
week I find that new friends are getting engaged and shortly after I receive a
Save-the-Date or invitation in the mail. Some invitations are like a breath of
fresh air, completely unique and special in their own way, while others sort of
blend together and look the same after a while.
When you're
sending out wedding invitations, while you do want your invitees to get all the
details they need such as date, time, and location, what you really want is for
them to receive a beautifully crafted package that represents the personalities
of you and your fiancé. It can be incredibly difficult to craft an invitation
that looks cool and provides guests with the information they need. So, today
we're bringing you a selection of some of the most unique invitations we've
seen out there for your inspiration.
Unique Wedding Invitations
Balloon Save the Date
I think this
idea for a Save the Date is a lot of fun. If you want something that people
haven't done before, and your guests to be wow'd...definitely send them a
balloon with all the details for your special day.
Paper Record Player Invitation
The designer
explains this invitation perfectly, saying, "in the booklet-style
invitation, a bit of paper-folding amplifies the sound of a sewing needle
moving along the grooves of a flexidisc record. The hand-spun record yields a
garbled, but scrutable listening of an original song by the couple. It requires
a bit of tinkering and folding —effectively championing the inner science-nerd
kid in the recipient. The whole thing serves as an interactive packaging for
the song—which can be experienced on the paper record player, unscrewed + set
on a regular turntable, or enjoyed online (for the non-nerds and/or audiophiles
out there.)".

Adventure for Two: Wedding Invitation
Suite
Do you love
travel and adventure? Kitkat Pecson designed these unique travel themed wedding
invitations for an adventurous couple. What makes theseinvitations so special
is that they feature different places the couple has traveled together and key
milestones in their relationship in those places (which are described in the
legend at the bottom of the invite). You don't have to have traveled all over
the world, but anywhere you two have had special moments can be shared on your
invitations.
Join us in the woods:
Invitation Suite
This amazing
couple created DIY invitations and rented a laser cutter/engraver to help them
create the cool 3D effect you'll see in their invites. Ian Collins, the groom,
explains that, "Our wedding was in the woods, and we hoped the pop-up
trees would give our prospective guests a taste of event they would be
attending. An accordion-style field-guide was also included, with illustrations
done by my wife of local plants and animals." This couple really knocked
it out of the park by creating some VERY special invites.
Getting Hitched: Wedding Invite Boxes
The best way
to describe these invitations is actually in the words of the bride. Designed
by Charlotte Fosdike, the bride, explains, "I knew that I wanted our
wedding invitations to be something that our friends and family would remember
and hold on to, long after the wedding. I also wanted the invitation to deliver
the essence of what we are as a couple. We are both highly adventurous people -
we love traveling, discovering new foods, going to markets, meeting new people
and exploring the world with all of our senses. I hence decided to create an
invitation that would give our guests a small taste of us and to share with
them the treasures of new and exciting flavours. It would deliver beyond visual
representation by including interactive packaging to appeal to touch and a
mixed array of spices in the packets to delight through scent and taste."
These ingenious invitations created by the couple, feature a box with specially
selected spices.
Moving Compass Wedding Wheel
This
talented bride decided to DIY her wedding invites and chose to use a movable
wedding wheel that featured all of the important details for her special day.
These are easy to DIY at home.
If you liked
the idea of the invitation featured above, I found a watercolor wedding wheel
that was created in the same style as above.
