Motifs and Image Ideas
Choose the right images for your invitation or save the date cards background or accents to embellish them. They can be Christmas themed or maybe even wither themed. Here a few choices that you have.
-
Snowflakes make a soft invitation that sets the theme.
-
A ribbon tied in a bow like you would find on a gift. The ribbon could be printed on to the invitation or you might choose to tie a real satin ribbon around your invite.
-
Santa Clause - very informal and cheeky - not an idea that I would ever consider but I thought I'd put it out there.
-
Use candy canes to create a heart shape.
-
Christmas baubles in the colors of your wedding.

An elegant and ornate sleigh could create a lovely picture.

Christmas tree or a poinsettia flower

Candles or bells

Creative ideas for Christmas Wedding Invitations
If you want your wedding invitations to stand out you will need to think outside the square. Keeping the Xmas spirit in mind here are a couple of 'out there' ideas that would blow your guests away.
-
Christmas bauble invitations.
Buy clear glass or plastic Christmas ornaments and fill it with your invitation details. You can have the invitation details printed onto card and cut them into strips that you can roll up to fill the bauble (or you can cut small cards to fit inside) Because weddings are planned at least a year in advance you will be able to take advantage of post xmas sales and pick up your baubles and cardstock supplies dirt cheap. -
Christmas tree Invitations
Do you remember the stand up Christmas trees you used to make as a kid. You cut out two symmetrical tree shapes and cut a slit on both so that they lock together and can stand on their own.
Why not print your invitations onto the tree and send them flat to your guests. Cute, informal and fun for a laid back wedding. -
Christmas Shaped Invitations
You create invitations in the shape of a Christmas stocking, a tree, snowman
