Design Wedding Invites in Various Themes & Styles
Every aspect of your wedding planning should be designed your way, down to the smallest details. It's important that your personalized wedding invitations reflect the theme, colors and aesthetic you've chosen for your ceremony and reception. It can be challenging to locate and buy just the right invites with so many websites and so much searching to do on the internet. With Shutterfly, it’s easy to find invitations that suit your style and taste. Choose from classic, vintage, rustic, modern, whimsical, artistic, and photo designs to bring your wedding inspiration to life in your own way. Wedding invitation style refers to the specific design choices made on your wedding cards. Font style, size, and placement should blend with the surrounding design. How do you want your overall design to look? Consider your theme for answers. If you’re going with a classic wedding theme, keep your design simplistic with two colors and minimal flourish. Going with a springtime garden theme? Fill the border or background of your invitation with soft flowers or watercolors.

Wedding Invitation Wording & Etiquette
What should you say in DIY wedding invitations? With so little space, it can be tricky to pick and choose what to include and what to save for your website. Shutterfly’s wedding invitation templates also make it easy to choose where to put all your important details and messages. At a minimum, be sure to include the following details inside your invitations:
- Names of the couple
- Wedding date and day of the week
- Time
- Location and address
- Reception information
- Dress code
- RSVP deadline
Your wedding invite wording might also need to include specific directions or details for the wedding reception, especially if it’s at a different location from the ceremony. If you have a lot more information to include, consider adding enclosure cards to your wedding invitations. With an enclosure card, you’ll have more room to include your registry link, travel information, menu details, and more. To make it easy for your guests to RSVP quickly, also include an RSVP response card where they can mark if they’re coming, if they need a plus one, and what menu items they’d like (if there’s an option). If you’d like, you can also include a sweet message in your invitation to let everyone know you’re excited to celebrate with them. Depending on your wedding theme, you can adjust your wording so it’s more casual or formal to match.
When to Send Out Wedding Invitations
There are many opinions out there about the best time to send invitations, but generally sending them out about two months before the ceremony should be enough time to alert guests of this important event. However, if it’s a destination wedding, then sending invitations or save the dates as early as possible is best so that attendees have time to book tickets and take time off work or other engagements as needed. When you’re hosting a virtual wedding, a month in advance is typically enough time for guests to mark their calendars. Since this type of wedding doesn’t require your guests to travel or buy new attire, you just want to make sure that they won’t have any other plans for that day.
How to Address Wedding Invitations
Generally, you address the envelopes to an entire family as one entity. You can list out the individual family members on the RSVP card if you feel clarification is needed. The same goes for couples—they receive one invitation addressed to both. Single people are given a nudge to bring a date by simply adding "plus guest" to the end of their name.
Find Your Perfect Wedding Invitation Suite
Fall in love with the entire wedding suite, including invitations, RSVP cards, enclosure cards, and thank you cards. As you consider the look of your wedding stationery package, consider ordering an entire suite in one design, or mix and match stationery from multiple design sets for a unique, complementary look. A uniform look can send a powerful message to your wedding guests. Show them your unique sense of taste and style through additional products and services provided by Shutterfly. Choose from recommended designs based on your wedding theme, the venue you will be hosting at, or your wedding color palette.
