Ink and Paper Colors

When it comes to ink and paper colors, contemporary wedding invitations offer many more options that traditional elegant wedding invitations. Usually traditional invitations are only in ivory, cream, or white, and the ink is usually black. However, there are virtually no limits when it comes to the paper colors and types for contemporary invitations as well as the colors that are available for wedding invitations that are contemporary in style.

One paper choice that many couples are choosing today is rice paper, which gives a natural look that is environmentally friendly as well. There are a variety of great colors to choose from as well, and you can find paper in almost every shade imaginable, from bright colors to soft pastels. Different colors of ink are available and you can choose different fonts for your wedding invitations as well if you are going for a contemporary look.

Different Presentations

There are some other differences that contemporary wedding invitations have as well, such as the presentation of the invitations. Sometimes couples decide to have an artist create wedding cartoons for the invitations. Also, some invitations actually use pictures of the couples on them, which is a very interesting way to set your invitations apart from others. Another different presentation is scroll wedding invitations. These are invitations that are rolled up like scrolls and actually mailed out in tubes instead of sending them in envelopes.

Of course when you are considering some of these great ideas for contemporary wedding invitations, it is important that you realize that the prices of these invitations are often more expensive than traditional invitations. Sometimes you’ll spend a few dollars more for each invitation, which may not sound like a whole lot, but if you are inviting 250 guests, $3-4 extra per invitation really can add up fast.
