Create Unique and Personal Wedding Invitations

Announce Your Wedding in Style with Unparalleled Invitations

May 3, 2009 Sofie De Cocker

Unique and personal wedding invitations like newspapers or comic books will surely grab people's attention.

A very personal way of inviting your relatives and friends to your wedding is creating a wedding newspaper. The title of the newspaper could be just your names, e.g. ‘Lily and Paul’ or a more creative title like ‘The Love Post’. Insert an article on the front page about your wedding containing all the important information like wedding date, venue and time. You can make this an informative article or you can write it in tabloid style and include a ‘paparazzi’ picture of you both. This will surely amuse your invitees!

The inner pages of the newspaper can be filled with the story of your relationship. You could create two timelines for example: one for the bride and one for the groom. Mark important events on the timeline like ‘Paul is born’ or ‘Lily graduates’. Then let the two timelines come together to mark the start of your relationship and life together.

You can also include short ‘testimonials’ by family members or friends. Ask them to say something nice about the two of you and include some nice pictures to go with their stories. Write about how the marriage proposal went and include gift ideas in the form of an advertisement.

There are a lot of options to choose from in terms of lay-out and content when making a wedding newspaper, but one thing is sure: the wedding invitation in the form of a newspaper is really unique and very personal.

Create a Comic Book as Wedding Invitation

Why not let someone draw your wedding invitation? Think up a nice story to announce your wedding and ask a good comic artist to draw pictures to go with the story. Make it two or three pages long and discuss the style beforehand: manga, superhero, caricature, romantic...

One option for a nice story is portraying your marriage proposal or some highlights from your relationship. The last picture could then be a really big one where you tell people they are invited to your wedding, including the date, venue, time and more practical information.

If you want to make the comic book wedding invitation even more personal, then ask the comic artist to create characters based on some photos of you and your partner.

Unique and Personal Wedding Invitations Cost a Little More

Unique wedding invitations like a newspaper or a comic book reflect the personalities of you and your partner, and people will remember these kinds of invitations for a long time. Keep in mind though that these very personal and unique wedding invitations will probably cost more than traditional wedding invitations. If they don’t fit your budget, try cheap wedding invitations that still look very fancy.
