The notes you send out to your guests to save the date and the invitations are the earliest stages you can let your guests know about the kind wedding you are planning. So, what better time to bring in the beach theme?

You can choose an invitation that sets the tone of your wedding – casual, formal, elegant, laid-back, funky or romantic. It is amazing what all you can convey with that card. Yes, there will be the information about  the who, where and when of the wedding itself. And make sure that this information is conveyed clearly and in an easy to read manner. Sometimes so much thought is spent on style that the substance is diluted. But once you have this piece anchored, you can let your imagination run wild!

There is the whole range of options from custom designer wedding cards, store bought themed cards and personalized hand-made invitations. Whatever your budget, there are options. You can pick one element of the beach idea like the water or a sea shell and make it a part of the embossed background, if you are going with a formal look. You can use the muted colors of the ocean in your cards and make a discreet statement.

You can play around with glitter paint and stamps if you are doing a casual wedding. You can even spray some glue and blow sand on top if you are making your own cards and just want to give them the dipped in sand feel. If you want your wedding to be a beach party, you can get the mood going right from the invitation and use bold colors of the tropics.

Just as you have a wide range in what you choose to wear to your beach wedding, you have a wide choice in the way you invite people to attend. If you want to work with a complete picture find an element that can run from the invitation to the wedding favors and that way you will have a cohesive package. Some thought, some imagination and the confidence to show your personality – these are all it takes to have a striking wedding invitation.
