We’re smack in the middle of the spring wedding season and loving the overload of fancy clothes, family reunions, endless mithai and diet-ruining buffet spreads! Weddings are evolving with time – with couples choosing to skip many of the long traditional rituals and instead do a more fun and festive version, that appeals to both family and friends. Much like the wedding invite too, which has evolved from a staid, paper card to fancy innovative offerings which are sure to leave your guests amazed!

2. The puzzle card

Baffle your guests just a wee bit when a puzzle box lands up at their doorstep. The instructions are simple, put the pieces together and they get to the full layout of the invite to your special day. You can up the games quotient with different mini puzzles for the other functions like the sangeet, cocktails etc.

3. The mystery card

Create a scratch-to-discover-details card for your wedding guests. The Who, When, Where questions can all be under scratch-to-reveal boxes, so your guests have to work just a little bit harder to find out what they should be looking forward to!

4. The comic relief

Create a card with the bride and groom depicted in comic form – you can have so much fun with colours and font in this version. It’s bright, fun and sure to bring a smile on the invitees’ faces.

5. Message in a bottle

Go old school with your invites by writing or printing them out on a scroll and then fitting it inside a glass bottle. Add some sparkle with glitter stars and confetti or even pot pourri for a nice fragrance.

6. The perfect match

Honey, I shrunk the card! Design personalised matchboxes with mini card leaflets for each function’s time and venue details. Cute, craftsy and whimsical – all rolled into one!

Make a mock newspaper headlining your wedding day. With so much paper space on hand, you can even add in fun articles on how you met, share details about your families and include all the necessary wedding function details. It’s a great way for your guests to know more about the couple and remember your wedding day!

8. First Day First Show

Channel your inner Bollywood hero/heroine and craft a personalised invite using a iconic movie poster as a backdrop. We’re thinking DDLJ or Jab We Met with the couple’s faces superimposed on the main leads – it’s one show your guests wouldn’t want to skip!
