Trend of Creative Invitations ①Wrap with Save the Date Tracing Paper

First up, the idea of wrapping the invitation with a tracing paper band designed like a Save The Date calendar.

Important dates stand out, and the semi-transparent tracing paper naturally blends with the invitation and looks stylish♩

Trend of Creative Invitations ②Stack Like a Stylish Presentation

Invitations that are layered with slightly different sizes of paper, resembling a stylish place card, are also being seen often lately.

It’s great to have labels like “Invitation,” “Schedule,” “RSVP” on the edges of the papers to clearly indicate what each piece contains.

I’d love to create a cute set with different colored papers♡

Trend of Creative Invitations ③Design the Envelope Flap

Changing the design of the envelope flap (the adhesive part) is also recommended.

For example, here the flap is cut at an angle, and different types of paper are combined afterward.

The sealing stamp is placed not in the center but closer to the right♩

Just from this envelope, you can already imagine an elegant wedding being prepared, which is exciting♡

Trend of Creative Invitations ④Wrap Ribbon Around the Invitation

I’d also like to try the idea of wrapping a ribbon or string around the invitation.

For ribbons, using silk ribbon or organza ribbon makes it fluffy and cute♡

If using string, adding a highlight like a sealing stamp is perfect♡

Trend of Creative Invitations ⑤Using Pocket Holder Type

I feel that there are more brides using pocket holders recently♡

They keep each piece of paper organized and tidy without getting mixed up, and the outside looks stylish like a love letter.

Trend of Creative Invitations ⑥Insert Guest Cards into a Backing

Guest cards, which have become standard as a measure against infectious diseases, are typically small like business cards, so inserting them into a backing is trending to prevent them from falling out♩

The combination of colors and the design of the backing showcase your taste.

Trend of Creative Invitations ⑦Using Overseas Stamps

Finally, the idea of using overseas stamps.

They don’t serve postal functions, but it’s popular to attach multiple stamps as decorations for the envelope♡

This is a perfect creative point for hand-delivered invitations.
