You could never go wrong with paper... it's classic! Yes wood and perspex look impressive, but they are so chic which equals big $$$$ for brides and grooms on a no-expense-spared wedding. It's only a realistic option for a very small wedding where you will be hand delivering each invitation (I mean imagine how much postage would be on one of those invitations... just crazy). For those of us living in the real world, where every dollar counts, we work closely with our brides to find a solution that you will love and at the same time will suit your budget.
Good luck with all your planning! :)
Hi!
As designers we love looking for new exciting innovative ideas to give to our brides, even though wood and acrylic are the trends of today, beautiful uncoated card can be just as effective with a great design! Choose a designer you love and you won't be dissapointed. Happy planning!
hi there
Cardstock is absolutely stunning and my ultimate favorite. It's a classic look that never gets old and I'm sure guests will appreciate the invite which ever direction you decide. Good luck with your wedding planning

Paper is still amazing - so many different colours and textures which can be combined with letterpress, foil, white print, embossing, raised ink - the possibilities really are endless. Personally, I will always love a classic design, letterpress printed, pressed deep into super thick cotton paper. Has the wow factor in abundance.

Hey there,
Paper is still a favourite medium for wedding invitation (and in my humble opinion, always will be). There are so many ways to take a would-be simple invitation and make it stunning. There's letterpress, foil stamping, white ink, and even the budget friendly option of digital printing can be brought to life with some clever design, illustration or hand lettering. If you're not convinced, jump on Pinterest and check out the world of stunning bridal stationery.
All the best with your wedding plans!

Paper is still the most popular stock for invites. There are so many ways to make paper beautiful and to excite your guests for your wedding. Focus on the best quality stock you can afford, aim for card weight over 280gsm, something textured and a stunning design, then you're all set. Hope this helps.
Happy Wedding Planning! Cheers - lala @lala design perth
