Being creative is the latest norm. Our expert Shekhar says “the wedding invitation dealing has been transformed to a big fashion industry. People go for trendy and unconventional ideas. They prefer to be different and quirky. The “wedding invites” have become a little complex than bare “invitation cards”. The invites go along with sweet boxes (having matching graphics as that of the card). “Save The Date” or “Block Your Date” is an all the rage way followed to announce your wedding date. Days are gone when there was a single card printed; the trend is getting to get 3-4 cards printed in a themed manner representing one for each function.” He adds “though there is no single logic followed with these trends. Choices vary with different people. At the end what matters is your choice of preference.”

3. Types of Invitations

The market is flooded with numerous types of invitations. People have an extensive range to choose from. From the simplest of the cards to the Richie rich ones, the array is wide. Our expert asserts “there are no limits to the variety available. You will find anything and everything ranging from embossed to glitter. There are cards adorning rice grains or rudraksha on them or even Swarovski crystals.” There are no boundaries to the choice of colour, designs and fonts as well. So get your card colour and font coordinated according to your pick. “Hand Calligraphed” card is the latest fashion, which may cost more than 500 INR per card.

The rule still remains the same; more the frills, higher the cost.
