If you are also planning a formal wedding for yourself, you need to know what constitutes formal wedding invitations since invitations are an essential part of every wedding. Formal weddings are common because they are timeless. Moreover, everyone appreciates formal weddings—your family, friends, co-workers, and bosses. Formal is also synonymous to elegant, which makes it even more appealing to couples who are about to tie the knot.

Planning a formal wedding is not as difficult as it sounds. You should start with your wedding invitations since these should be sent weeks prior the wedding day. Here are some tips and ideas on what constitutes formal wedding invitations.

  • Formal wedding invitations usually use colors such as white, silver, gold, black, tan, and other pale colors. Do not choose very bright colors because these look more casual than formal. You can mix and match white with metallic colors or pastel colors.
  • The wording is also an important consideration when it comes to choosing formal wedding invites. Instead of saying “Hi! You are invited to attend our wedding...” you can say “We are cordially inviting you to attend our wedding…” They have the same meaning but they differ in terms of the tone used.
  • Instead of using clip arts or drawings for your invitation, you should find real pictures of your wedding rings or a snapshot of you and your partner that captures a romantic scene. Instead of using colored photos, you can use black and white to make it look classic and elegant.
  • Choose scented card stocks for your wedding invitation. Use a formal looking envelope tied with a silk ribbon. You can also insert a single stemmed red rose into the ribbon for a more romantic look.

These things answer your question “what constitutes formal wedding invitations?” They are easy and simple but they will surely help you pick the right invitations for your formal wedding.
