Beach Wedding Invitations
Beach wedding invitations open up a whole new world of letterpress design that you simply cannot use for any other setting. Getting the perfect beach wedding invitations can be both fun and challenging. Before you choose any wedding invitation design, however, you must know what type of color scheme you are working with. If your ceremony will take place in the late morning or early afternoon, chances are you will want to stick with blues, taupe, whites or off-whites, and perhaps yellows and oranges. A sunset beach wedding on the other hand, will be beautiful done in deep reds, ambers, warm oranges, and all the colors of the sunset; perhaps even black. When you know what you will be working with you are ready to choose your invitations.Finding the Perfect Beach Wedding Invitations
Beach wedding invitations lend themselves wonderfully to very simple designs. A natural colored parchment paper with gold lettering may be all you need for a simple yet elegant invitation. However, with the scenery typical of a beach there are many different things you can do to spruce it up a bit. If you are leaning toward a very casual setting you may like to incorporate images of beach balls, umbrellas, and lounge chairs.You can also take the natural approach by incorporating sand dunes, seagulls, and sand dollars. If the beach that will host your wedding is known for dolphin sightings and you have always adored these animals, you may decide to use this as a central theme. For the darker colors of a sunset wedding, the use of a simple black and orange silhouette of a couple facing each other may be used in a creative way that still allows for the lettering of your invitation.
Ordering your Beach Wedding Invitations
Because most people will have to travel to your beach wedding, be sure to order your invitations well in advance and use save the date cards to give your guests plenty of time to prepare. This is especially important for any custom designs you may like to have added to your invitations. You will want to send out your invitations about eight weeks ahead of time and you do not want the stress of not having them ready added to everything else you are trying to deal with in the planning of your wedding.Address your invitations by hand using the same colors and styles of your invitation for a cohesive look. If you intend to add any embellishments either to the invitations or the envelopes, take this into consideration when deciding how much time you need to prepare them. Be sure to order a few extras as a back-up for mistakes or last minute guest list additions.
Wording Your Beach Wedding Invitations
Beach weddings by definition are generally casual and the tone of your invitations should reflect this. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't learn how to word wedding invitations.If you want your guest to dress business casual it is best to indicate this but please be practical and allow for appropriate footwear. Also be sure to let your guests know if there will be a reception or meal so that they can make the proper preparations.Related Letterpress Invitation Articles

Thanks so much for offering the wedding invitation giveaway! I am so pleased how the invitations came out- the paper is great and the letterpress looks wonderful, and I love that you were able to work with our graphic. Thank you for enabling us to add this great detail to our wedding. Kate
On behalf of everyone...thank you so very much for your dedication and attention to our order. Because of your willingness to be flexible and accommodating to both us and our customer, the order was a complete success!
We are extremely appreciative and thank you for producing such a beautiful product.
...I so appreciate your quick response to our "wedding crisis" we only delayed the invitation receipt to our guest by one week...your personal appearance at my door accompanied by your precious daughter made me realize that I still had the best professional working for me! C
How? How? How? do you keep coming up with such amazing stuff? I am in love! Thank you so much for doing these...I am in love with your work! J. Lucas
It's unbelievable, I am still getting calls about about how much people love these cards! A customer for six years and these are best Christmas cards to date! E. Hickey
P.S. I recently ordered my son's birth announcements and have received endless comments on how beautiful they are...THANK YOU! H. Stout
Wow, My stationery turned out so nice!! Fast and friendly customer service! L. Johnson
Thank you for your excellent and reliable service. My stationery product is beautiful and the paper quality is excellent! E. Tuff
I have used Page Stationery for numerous special occasions and have never been disappointed. The quality and workmanship that goes into each invitation is remarkable. Page Stationery has helped make our memories special. L. Dinerstein
I've gotten so many compliments on my Christmas cards this year! Sue did an excellent job from helping me decide the design of the card to delivering a beautiful, quality product that I was proud to send out. I will most definitely be using Page Stationery again. S. McCullen
I have used Page Stationery for virtually every major event in my life in the past decade, starting with the "save the date" for my wedding on through my wedding invitations, birth announcements, and family Holiday cards. I've even used Page for coasters emblazoned with a corporate logo for a work event I hosted. I have been thrilled with the quality and the overall experience on every occasion. Page produces a top-of-the-line product that is unique without being trendy. Every time I send out a card or announcement, I have multiple people tell me that it is the nicest they have ever received. I give Page Stationery my highest recommendation. M. Surrick
I can't say enough about how great Page is. They did all the printed
materials for our wedding, our note cards, a moving
announcement, our
daughter's birth announcement AND we got one of those great t-shirts with
the "1" on them for her first birthday . Not only is the design
beautiful--we always get a million compliments!--but everything is the highest
quality and "dealing" with Page is always a pleasure. Thanks for all
you do!
If I had a dollar for every compliment we received on our wedding invitations,
we could retire to our own private island. Thanks Page for doing such a
beautiful job.
I am not sure which got more ohhhhs and ahhhhs from our friends and family: our
daughter's birth announcement or the photo we included with it. Thanks for
making such beautiful cards. They're a pleasure to send.
We recently bought one of your little t-shirts for our daughter's first
birthday, which we celebrated on Nantucket. Everywhere we went that day, we got
compliments and happy birthday wishes. Thanks for helping to make a
special day even more special.
Page combines elegant design with the highest quality paper and top-notch
service for printed materials that are to-die for. Truly special!
I know for a fact I'm not the only one who saved my wedding invitation!
Thanks for your beautiful work. And for making the whole thing so EASY! Your
understated elegance set the tone for our whole event. Perfect in every way.
Amazing attention to detail. Incredible paper. Beautiful ink colors. Thanks so
much!
We've ordered many pieces from Page. Wedding invitations, social stationery, birth announcements, Holiday cards, children's T-shirts...everything! Each piece was well designed, easy to order and delivered on time. In every way, Page and the creative, competent people who work there exceeded my (sometimes too high) expectations. It's nice to know there are still some remaining small family operated businesses in the US able to flourish with an affordable, high quality product based on a historic medium like letterpress. Good for Page! L. Warner
I have just looked at the cards and they are wonderful. Exactly what we had in mind, excellent quality and a fair price. Many thanks for your attention to me during this process I felt like a valued customer. Kind regards and best wishes,GS
