Once you have found the perfect paper, you can decide on the printing and any accessories or decorations. Here are ten tips on choosing <a title=\"shop for wedding invtations\" href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/shop\/category\/wedding-invitations\/\">wedding invitation<\/a> paper:<\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\" style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6344\" alt=\"wedding invitation paper\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.easyweddings.com\/files\/2021\/10\/28175338\/478607209.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Use good quality card or paper as a base for your wedding invitations, even if you are on a tight budget. Your wedding invitation paper needs to be robust enough to reach your guests without getting bent and it should hold up well and feel strong to the touch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Consider the texture of your wedding invitation paper. For a contemporary invite, a smooth, high gloss paper can be just right, whereas for a traditional invitation a linen finish might be more elegant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Check with the printer you are planning to use and make sure the wedding invitation paper or card that you choose is compatible with it. Many couples decide to have a heavier, thicker card for the outer part of their invitation, and to have a lighter paper inside the card to print the invitation details on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Use two colours of wedding invitation paper for a more expensive effect. You could choose two similar shades of your wedding colours for a subtle two tone invitation, or two contrasting colours such as scarlet and white for a bolder invite.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6070\" alt=\"wedding invitation\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.easyweddings.com\/files\/2021\/10\/28175341\/85926554.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Choose unusual papers such as metallic, pearlescent, or reflective papers to give your invitations a unique twist. Printing with black ink on these types of paper is a relatively cheap option but still results in a professional finished product.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Use vellum paper, a translucent type of wedding invitation paper that is most often seen in white but can be bought in a wide variety of pastel colours. It is often used as an overlay with printed graphics or words visible through it, and it adds an extra dimension to your invitations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Use dark or deep coloured wedding invitation paper for an unusual invitation, but make sure you use a white or light coloured ink for printing, or your guests won&#8217;t be able to read the details. You could also use white, ivory, or cream paper with a bold coloured border.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Check the weight of your wedding invitation paper and your finished invitation to make sure you put enough postage on each one. If you are having a large invitation with heavy paper and plenty of inserts, the postage costs may be more than you think.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2877,"template":"","au_article_tag":[],"class_list":["post-32066","au-article","type-au-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","au_article_category-weddinginvitations"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article\/32066","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/au-article"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-article\/32066\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2877"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32066"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"au_article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_article_tag?post=32066"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
