Interactive Wedding Invitations

No longer are wedding invitations just simple cards to be blue tacked to the wall, these fun ideas require your guest to touch, play and even taste your wedding invitation.

 Here are some of my favourite ideas where interaction is key. We'll start with one of my own designs, where guests are invited to undress the invitation, untying the ribbon and removing the lace to reveal the wedding invitation.

Fortune Teller Invitations

Take your guests back on a sentimental journey to their school days with these cute as a button fortuner teller wedding invitations. Reveal the date, time, location and perhaps even dress code as you follow the instructions and play this fun childhood game.

Edible Wedding Invitations

Guarenteed to please your guests will love to recieve a delicious treat as they unwrap your wedding invitation. Choose from lollipops, chocolate bars or your favourite childhood treat. Don't forget to include an extra card with all the information for your guests to keep once they have indulged in your delicious treat invite.

View-Master Wedding Invitations

Remember these? Wow this takes me back! These super cool View-Master wedding invitations are perfect for retro style weddings. The View-Master comes with a viewer and a round circular roll of images. To create a fun wedding invitation tell a story by including pictures of both of your childhoods and as a happy couple along with information on the date and location of the wedding. 

Unfortunately I have been unable to source the original producer of these invitations. If this is you please PM me and I will include a link! 



Puzzle Piece Wedding Invitations

A great idea for smaller weddings where guests don't know each other very well. Each guest is given their wedding invitation in the form of a large puzzle piece. On the back are the details of the wedding, date time location etc. and on the front, a portion of one of the couples favourite  photographs. All guests are asked to bring their wedding invitation with them on the big day so they can put their pieces of the puzzle together to recreate the original photograph. Couples don't forget to make spares for guests that forget!

Word-search Wedding Invitations

Every time I feel like I have found the most awesome wedding invitations, something else, even more awesome presents itself and these word-search wedding invitations are exactly that! Everyone loves a word-search and think of all the fun you could have hiding words in your puzzle, choose words that suite your theme, are romantic or reflective or maybe even a little bit rude/cheeky! ;)

Festival Chic Wedding Invitations

One of my very favourite wedding stationery fashions of the moment is the festival poster look. With so many weddings now taking place in rural farmhouses and barns this rustic style adds a fun twist to a festival style wedding. It's great for injecting that all important personality into your wedding invitations, allowing lots of detailed info and bursts of colour.

Here are some of my favourite festival poster designs, the first being my own design I created for a lovely couple who got married at the gorgeous Pangdean Farm in East Sussex.
