Invitation Inspiration

Running low on inspiration? Here are some cute and clever ideas to make unique invitations (yourself!) that will stand out and be something your guests can treasure.

having a destination wedding? - print faux boarding passes to get guests in the traveling spirit

include a map indicating all of the special and favorite spots of you and your hubby-to-be

shhhh it's top secret! - the special agents attending your wedding need a briefing of all wedding activities, and don't forget that fingerprint test!

planning on an outdoor affair? - incorporate your natural surroundings from the get go

provide a keepsake before guests even arrive at the wedding - a handerkerchief with all of the details
