There is an extreme amount of thought behind the aesthetics of a wedding card or the lack of it as soon as the card reaches the guests. This certainly accounts for the ever booming card industry.

Not your style? Fret not, we have 7 tips you can use to make your wedding invitation card stand out and most importantly, better adhere to your personal preferences and style. Keep in mind the 7 elements below for giving your guests an awe-inspiring experience right from the start they receive your wedding invitation card. Take the guide below!
1. The Flappy Surprise

A usual wedding invitation card format includes at least 3 pamphlets for different functions inside the casing, which makes it an elaborate and even bulky affair. If that's not your style, you can go for a sleeker version and surprise the recipients with a flap style format. Basically, you can replace the 3 different pamphlets by little windows in the main card itself, covered with a flap, which guests can lift to see the details of a particular event.
Go creative with it, use drawings and sketches to make it more visually appealing, if that suits you.
2. Picture Charm

If you are up for giving a personal touch to your wedding invitation card format, this is what you can try. Along with being careful with choosing the right kind of color for the base and the ink, you can add the exact flavour you want, with adding a picture of yourself with your prospective partner in the invite. With so many photographers for pre-wedding photo shoot and so many options, this won't be a too big a task either.
3. Thematic Art Cover

In case you want to add a little fun to the wedding invitation card format for your special day and make it stand out with its creative side, you can go for a thematic look for the invite. Take your inspiration from the various options according to your and your partner's taste. You can go for an ultra romantic Titanic theme or the grand The great Gatsby theme.
You could also get inspiration for your wedding card matter from comics and characters.
4. Say It With Text

Another important thing to look out for, when deciding upon the design of your wedding invitation card format, is the text style you are choosing. The kind of text you use for the card says a lot about your personality, choices and about the outlook of the card itself. Go for softer, italic slants or cursive writing if you want an overall fairytale romantic vibe or an aesthetically neat look.
There are other options to choose from accordingly, depending upon the theme and visuals of the card.
5. His-Her Binary

It is the norm that the bride and bridegroom's family send out the invitations separately to their respective relations. Mostly, they go for either two completely different designs or two copies of the same design. We have a better option for your wedding invitation card format. Go for a his and her version of the same design.
Pick your colors maybe, both of the parties can pick a color they want to use and two same designs of the same card can be used with minor alterations wherever required. It will give a cleaner and more harmonious image of your wedding prep too and is just easier to manage in general.
