Frequently asked questions

Which kinds of weddings work best with white wedding invitations?

Ethereal and dreamy, pearl white wedding invitations are a match made in heaven for more than just traditional weddings.

Here are a few wedding vibes that highlight the color’s vintage charm, simple elegance, or romantic splendor:

Vintage – With lace, pearl embellishments, and ivory chandeliers at the helm, it’s no wonder retro weddings are perfectly suited to white vintage wedding invitations.

Classic and Formal – If you’re married to the classics—black and white—then why not keep it uniform throughout your wedding paper? Consider simple, traditional wedding invitations with elegant typeface and sleek design.

Romantic – A touch of immaculate white in your romantic wedding invitations can go a long way toward creating an atmosphere. Bring on the bouquets of pink roses, twinkling lights, and fanciful string quartet!

How do we design the perfect white wedding invitations for our big day?

White may be elegant and sophisticated, but it’s also a naturally blank canvas. Whether you’re keeping it simple or matching your wedding’s extravagant style, a white wedding invitation grants you unlimited customization options.

Here are a few special touches that work beautifully with any white wedding invitation card:

Letterpress – Elevate your white custom invitations with raised letterpress font, perfectly complementing upscale, vintage, elegant, romantic, and formal celebrations.

Style – The best thing about white is that it goes with everything—colorful patterns, minimalist sketches, vibrant illustrations, and more. White can either be the main event or supporting character of a truly stand-out invitation design.

Paper Type – From formal, to rustic, to romantic, white is as versatile as it gets. Even a simple choice like your paper type can transform the feeling of your wedding invitation. Consider pearlescent paper for a subtle shimmer, linen for a light, airy vibe, or eggshell for formal flair.
