Ideas for Informal Beach Wedding Invitations
Planning a wedding can be a lot of work, and can involve a lot of details. Some people like the idea of a destination wedding and choose to go somewhere tropical and get married at the beach. In some ways this can make the planning easier, since there are many packages you can choose from, but in other ways it might make it more stressful since you might not be able to inspect all your options before making your decisions. One decision you do have a lot of control about is your beach wedding invitations, so you might want to spend time finding just the right ones.
Those who want to have their beach invitations just a little less formal might choose to go with the regular square or rectangular invitations and just add some beach type design to them. This could be an illustration or a photo. The wording could remain relatively formal or be very informal. They could still be the more traditional white or off white, or they could contain all sorts of bright colors.
For those who are looking for something really informal, you can actually change the shape of the invitation as well as coloring and the wording. You could shape the beach wedding invitations like any object commonly found at the beach, such as shells, star fish, beach chairs, flip flops, umbrellas, or fish. You could also shape them like airline tickets since many times beach weddings are destination weddings and people need to fly into the area where the wedding is being held.
Some people take things even further and make three dimensional beach wedding invitations. Ideas that are along this line include a message in the bottle, where you attach a ribbon to a strip of paper with the pertinent details and put the paper in a bottle with a bit of sand and/or shells before mailing it to your potential guests. These can be a bit more expensive to mail, and you might end up making them yourself, but they would definitely be a memorable start to your wedding.
Some people like the idea of flip flop, umbrella, or star fish shaped invitations. You can even make the wording fun and informal if you would like. Besides drawings, many people like to include photographs of the beach on their informal invites, so this is an option you can consider as well..
