Tips on How to Personalize Your Wedding Template
The good news is that no matter which template you choose for your wedding day, it can be customized to reflect the overall look and feel you’re wanting to achieve.
Find ways to personalize the text, fonts and colours (where possible) for a completely unique wedding invitation.
- Text: Modify the wording to match your wedding’s tone—whether it’s formal, casual or playful.
- Fonts: Choose typography that complements your theme. For example, script fonts for elegance or sans-serif for modern designs. Many wedding templates (including all of the ones above) allow you to change the font size and placement as well.
- Colours: Match your wedding colour palette to create a cohesive look. You may not be able to change all of the elements of your template (like the floral colours or other graphics) but fonts should always be editable.
- Images & Illustrations: Add personal touches like monograms, engagement photos or custom artwork.
Coordinating Your Wedding Invitations
For a polished and cohesive wedding stationery suite, you’ll want to ensure your invitations coordinate with other essential print products. Many design templates offer matching stationary but some may require you to mix and match on your own.
It’s important to keep RSVP cards in the same theme and size proportion of your wedding invitation so that it fits neatly in your envelope. The envelope itself should match or at least complement your invitation design and colour scheme. For added elegance, consider an envelope with a liner. At Little Rock, we offer blank envelopes (no print on them), colour-printed envelopes and black-and-white-printed envelopes.
Additional inserts should be the same size or smaller than the envelope and can include important details like directions, lodging accommodations and your wedding website.
Choosing the Highest-Quality Print
To ensure your wedding invitations are printed with the highest quality, consider your paper options, finishes and more.
- Paper Options: Opt for thick cardstock for durability and a premium feel. We recommend our 16PT Uncoated Cover postcards—it works really well with designs featuring a white or light background.
- Finishes: Consider matte for a modern look, glossy for vibrant colours or textured paper for a rustic feel.
- Printing Method: Digital printing is budget-friendly, while letterpress and foil stamping add an elegant touch.
- Size & Format: Standard invitation size is 5″x7″, but you can choose a unique shape like square or scalloped edges for added flair. At Little Rock, we offer rounded corners for an additional fee.
