Additionally, a special way to personalize your wedding invitation is with a monogram. This could be a hand drawn victorian monogram, or it could be incorporated into a crest. Monograms can be used throughout your entire invitation suite and day of paper goods to create a true brand for your wedding. The great thing about monograms is that they are simple and beautiful, and they do not detract from the elegance of your invitation.

Luckily, some of the invitation designs in our collection already have monograms included, but a monogram can also be added to ANY one of our designs. We have every double-letter combination of vintage monogram available at no cost, or you can purchase your very own custom monogram.

Next, an envelope liner is a great way to add a special touch and personalize your wedding invitation while leaving the invitation itself simple and elegant. The best part of an envelope liner is its versatility. You could incorporate any of the things I just mentioned like your monogram or venue illustration. Additionally, we also have a variety of solid colors, floral designs, and other paintings for you to choose from.

A wax seal is a stunning way to personalize your wedding stationery. Your wax seal could be your monogram or another decorative element that coordinates with your wedding style. The best thing about wax seals is that they’re SO easy! There’s no messy wax you have to mess with. Instead, they come already and hand pressed in the form of a sticker!

Don’t underestimate the power of color! Whether it’s a solid envelope liner, your ink color, subtle edge painting, or even ribbon, a touch of color is a great way to bring different elements of your wedding together.

There are so many ways out there to personalize your wedding invitation without detracting from the romance and elegance.
