Best Destination Wedding Invitations

Trying to figure out how to get your designer wedding gown halfway across the world? Do you need a college degree to slog through the marriage laws of that quaint island nation? There's no question that it can be challenging to plan a destination wedding. This guide will make the process a little easier by providing unique ideas for destination wedding invitations as well as tips for creating the perfect invite.

* Whether you're headed to a romantic European city or an exotic beach locale, destination wedding invitations can create a celebratory mindset for your guests. Headed to Venice? Use an image of a gondola or Piazza San Marco to get your guests in the mood for the romance of the city--and your ceremony. Online wedding specialists also offer destination-themed stationery designed to look like American passports. Imagine how excited and honored family and friends will be to receive one of these special and unique invitations.

*There's nothing quite like a theme destination wedding. Is the happiest day of your life going to be at the happiest place on earth--Disney? Send invites in the shape of Mickey's iconic head or envelopes printed with your favorite characters. Maybe you're marrying your knight in shining armor at a renaissance event? Consider an invitation rolled up like a royal scroll. Wherever you're headed for the ceremony, the most important part of theme destination wedding invitations is to let guests know how much fun they're going to have. Theme wedding invites are easy to find through online wedding stationery printers.

*If guests will be digging their toes in the sand, you'll want destination-inspired invites that convey the special feel of lakeside or oceanside nuptials. Is a casual ceremony your style? Think about using colorful sandal motifs or playful dolphin images. Online wedding stationery suppliers even offer invites shaped like beach umbrellas. Invitation images or designs for more formal beachside nuptials might include gentle sunsets or ocean vistas.

*The sky's the limit when it comes to destination wedding invitations for Las Vegas ceremonies. Elvis silhouettes. Slot machines. Roulette wheels. Since "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" let your imagination run wild when choosing wedding invitation ideas. Don't let that imagination run too wild though. Try to avoid off-color or suggestive Sin City invites--while it might seem like a fun and funny idea now, you might not want your elderly grandma to get her hands on one.

Once you've chosen which wedding invitation ideas you'll use, remember these two simple tips:

Tip #1: Planning a destination wedding can be a handful, so look for wedding invitation ideas from an online specialist who offers a range of selections, making it easy for you to click and choose your way to the perfect invite.

Tip #2: Even elementary school spelling champs can be stumped by foreign city names and locales. Triple-check unfamiliar spellings so you don't end up inviting guests to Pizza, Italy instead of Pisa, Italy.
