A growing number of couples are leaving traditional wedding etiquette to the wayside — guests can sit on either side of the aisle, Mom and Dad can walk the bride down the aisle, and you can skip throwing the bouquet if you choose. Another tradition to loosen up? Sending paper invitations. Today’s digital wedding invitations with RSVP are just as beautiful as their printed counterparts, and they save a ton of time and hassle.

Online invites cut down on waste and carbon emissions, and they’re a lot easier on your wallet. Invitations with response cards and a pre-stamped envelope can cost a fortune. Paperless wedding invitations, on the other hand, are a low-cost, green alternative. And with impressive RSVP features, they can take a lot of pressure out of planning. Here’s how.

A wedding invitation isn’t just an invitation, it’s an introduction — an introduction to the evening you’ve spent months, perhaps even years, planning. It sets the tone for your special day, laying the groundwork for all the intricate details you have in store. And if your heart is set on throwing the wedding event of the year, you’re probably on the hunt for beautifully elegant wedding invitations.

Your invitations offer guests the first glimpse into your wedding details, so it’s time to make a few decisions on how to proceed. Should you go with sans serif fonts or calligraphy? Will you select a photo card of the happy couple or a more minimalist background? And of course, will you opt for the rose gold or blush floral accents?

Selecting an elegant wedding invitation is no different from choosing the decor for your reception. As a good rule of thumb, trust your instincts, and follow the patterns and designs that speak to you. Whatever you choose will surely carry an air of sophistication (mixed with bits and pieces of your personality, of course).

But to help you out, we’ve collected a few of our favorite, elegant designs. Below, you’ll find six show-stopping wedding invitations that offer the perfect introduction to your formal wedding. But first …

According to etiquette, everyone invited to your wedding ceremony should be invited to the reception. However, it’s perfectly okay to have a small ceremony with a select few guests followed by a big party with all of your friends and family. Just take care that your wedding reception invitations are smartly worded so that guests know which aspects of your big day they are welcome to attend.

Having separate invitations for the ceremony and reception can be a big sigh of relief for couples who don’t like the spotlight or who would rather their ceremony be a private affair. You can also use wedding reception invitations to follow a spur-of-the-moment elopement or destination wedding with a big bash back home. Here, we’ve broken down everything you need to know about reception-only wedding invitations.
