It can be difficult to find a wedding invitation that fits your personality in a generic catalog of pre-made designs. Instead opt for something customized just for you. Find a reputable printer and you will have your invitations within a few days. Think of things that say Ireland to you. Perhaps its a picture taken along the Shannon, a landscape of rolling green hill, or even the Celtic knot work you have tattooed on your neck. Find a card stock you like, the perfect shade of green for the font, and start piecing your invitation together. Your wedding is about you, your invitation should be too. If you are proud of your Irish descent, an Irish wedding invitation is a wonderful idea.
A sketch of two right hands joined with the Claddagh’s heart facing in will cleverly announce the engagement of two people in love. If your family has a shield you could have it made into seals to close the envelopes. Use tiny shamrocks to dot the i’s. You could place gold confetti inside the invitation to symbolize the leprechaun’s treasure.
The Gaelic language is mysterious and beautiful. The phrase “mo anam cara” in a gorgeous font on your invitations tells everyone you’ve found your soul mate. If you aren’t fluent in Gaelic, find a website to help you find the perfect translation for your Irish wedding invitation.
People will see the personalized touches you’ve added and feel the love translated through your effort.
You can tie your Irish photo wedding invitation into the decorations at the reception itself. Bunches of long stemmed shamrocks make beautiful centerpieces and will recall your carefully planned invitations to memory. Sprinkle the tables with the same confetti. Pressed in a scrapbook with the invitation they are a wonderful keepsake of your special day.
Whether you decide to choose your invitation from a catalog or use your creativity and make it all your own, make sure it shows who you are at heart.
