Planning a wedding means bringing together all those little details that make your love story unique, and one of the best ways to do that is through your wedding invitations. Your invites are like a sneak peek into your big day, hinting at the style, colours, and vibe you’re creating. So, how can you make sure they really reflect your theme? Let’s walk through some ideas!
1. Choose Colours That Match Your Palette
One of the simplest ways to tie your invitations into your wedding theme is by choosing a colour palette that matches. Whether you’re going for romantic pastels, rich autumn hues, or modern neutrals, make sure your invite reflects those tones. For instance, here at Moonfairi Paperie, our Autumn collection embraces warm oranges and reds that are perfect for a cosy fall wedding, while Victoria gives that dreamy blue French toile look, ideal for something classic and elegant. Whatever your colours, weaving them into your invites helps set the mood right from the start.
2. Incorporate Key Elements from Your Theme
Think about the little details that define your wedding theme. Is it the vintage vibes of pressed flowers? Maybe it’s that whimsical boho look with pampas grass. Whatever elements are a core part of your theme, try to bring them into your stationery design. For example, our Megan suite, with its pampas grass details, perfectly complements a boho-chic wedding. Or if you’re going for a timeless garden party, floral motifs like those in the Meadow collection create an enchanting, botanical feel. These elements make your invitations feel like an extension of the wedding itself.
3. Textures That Tell a Story
Texture is such an underrated way to bring a theme to life. Think about the kind of tactile experience you want your guests to have. For an elegant and vintage look, consider using a deckled edge or thicker cardstock to give that luxurious, old-world feel. Our Rosedew suite uses romantic florals and calligraphy for a vintage touch, while Wildflower brings softness with hand-dyed ribbons and champagne-coloured wax seals. Choosing materials and textures that align with your theme will make your invitations feel thoughtful and cohesive.
4. Consider a Vellum Wrap or Wax Seal
Sometimes, it’s the finishing touches that make all the difference. Vellum wraps and wax seals are perfect ways to elevate your invitations and add an extra layer of theme. Imagine opening an invitation wrapped in delicate vellum with a little wax seal that matches your colors—instant magic! With options to add a custom wax seal or a ribbon, you can really make the presentation something special. Our Eleanor collection, for example, adds an ethereal vibe with soft lilac tones and butterflies, perfect for a romantic, garden-inspired wedding.
5. Get Playful with Fonts and Calligraphy
Fonts might seem like a small detail, but they can make a big impact! Are you aiming for a modern, minimalistic vibe? Go for clean, sans-serif fonts. Planning a fairytale wedding? Cursive, flowing calligraphy can bring that storybook feel to life. At Moonfairi Paperie, each collection features fonts that align with the overall vibe—like the romantic cursive in Florence or the modern simplicity in our Venue collection. Fonts are the “voice” of your invitation, so choose one that feels right for your theme.
6. Add Personalized Touches that Speak to You
Finally, don’t be afraid to add custom details that are unique to you as a couple. Maybe it’s an illustrated map, a little quote, or a motif that’s meaningful to your love story. For example, we can incorporate custom illustrations of your venue with our Venue suite—an amazing way to make your invites truly one-of-a-kind. Personalized touches like these make your invitations feel extra special and give guests a taste of what makes your day unique.

Your wedding invitations are the first chapter of your wedding day story. By blending colours, textures, and personalized touches, you’re giving your guests a glimpse of the magic to come.
