Your wedding invitation is definitely a key ingredient in personalizing your wedding and I think that nothing can make an invite stand out more than excellent use of typography. The choice of type is usually a good representation of the bride & groom's individual personalities and is also a great way to give guests an initial peek to what the big day will be like. Let me show you samples of invites from all over the net to help demonstrate this idea:


This charming hand-drawn invite design by Bird&Banner sets the mood for a casual, outdoor garden wedding


There's nothing like a cute hand-printed monogram to set your stationery apart from the cookie-cutter clutter. Again by Bird&Banner


Proof that sans-serif boldface block type can look elegant. This design by Minted suits a no-frills couple.


Here's a great design that's able to blend the sensibilities of block type with calligraphy. By Minted.


If you really want your invite to be unique and memorable, you can hire a calligrapher/designer OR better yet, make your monogram and draw your own maps. Nothing can get more personalized than that! This design by May+Belle.

And finally, do take a peek at this super-duper sweet (and typographically elaborate!) proposal video.
