10 Unique Invitation Designs To Match Your Wedding Vibe
Find your perfect wedding invitation in seconds.
VBStudio, Pichukova Ekaterina / Shutterstock Wedding season is upon us and the days are counting down to when you need to send out your invitations.
But how do you pick the right invitation to send? Where can you get the dream wedding invitations you want? Some have the perfect design but the font is all wrong. Others have the font, but the background doesn't match your theme.
I know from personal experience that couples desire something unique, something that is all you and your loved one's own. You don't want a cookie-cutter invite that your great aunt, your cousin, and your big brother used for their weddings!
Luckily for me (and now you!), The Knot's customizable wedding invitations are perfect for every couple who has a vision of what they want their invitations to look like.
Why You Should Use The Knot For Your Wedding Invitations
1. Customization
The first thing I fell in love with on The Knot's invitation site is that each and every invitation they sell can be completely personalized to suit your taste. You can move the text where you wish, as well as customize what you want the text to say.
You can change the font, style, and color. You can even pick the type of paper the invitation gets printed on, and if there is foil involved you can choose the color. Some designs even allow you to place your own engagement photos on your invites.
The Knot features hundreds of hand-designed invitations you can choose from and customize to include your own personal touch. Even better, you can see what your invitation will look like (front and back) before you make a purchase.
2. Affordability
When I found the perfect invitation on The Knot's website, I was beyond excited to notice that they were completely affordable. They have invitations that go as low as $1.59 per piece.
What's great is that the more invitations you buy, the lower each individual invitation is. So, buying in bulk actually helps you in this aspect. The Knot has invitations for every wedding budget so you don't have to go broke.
You can save an extra 15% off your invites with the code PAPER15.
3. User-friendly
Not only are these invitations stunning, but The Knot's website is incredibly user-friendly. You can filter by color, whether you want foil, design style, and if you want a certain number of your own photos on it. Not only that, but you can even look at invitations by season.
If you want fall wedding invites, just check the little fall box and browse to your heart's content. It's also important to know that you can make any of the invitations look more like your chosen season by customizing it.
4. Helpful customer service
The Knot's customer service is extremely helpful. The website features a tiny chat box that pops up when you're customizing where you can ask all the questions you have.
Their customer service team can help you figure out everything in a matter of minutes. They can even provide you with sale information and promotions that are going on.
The Knot also offers returns on invitations that have been damaged or were printed wrong with no hassle.
5. Free samples
Nothing beats a free sample kit from the Knot. This kit allows you to see, feel, and have your invitations right in front of you to truly tell if they are the ones for you.
You can order three designs to sample with the code 3FREE at checkout.
When you order a sample kit, you will also receive color charts, sample envelopes, a stationery timeline, and so much more!
6. All-inclusive
When you are planning a wedding it's easy to get lost. But the Knot not only sells the perfect wedding invitations, it's also a great wedding planner tool. It helps you keep all of your contacts in one place.
The Knot is also great at helping you find wedding professionals to hire like florists, musicians, photographers, and other vendors on The Knot Vendor Marketplace. It's wonderful to be able to keep track of everything in one place. Plus, the Knot has an app so you can check on things right on your phone. They even have their own registry with The Knot Registry Store.
Even better, couples can create a free, custom wedding website on The Knot that can match the theme of your invitations. How cool is that?
