<\/p>\nShould you be crafting your own wedding invitations you will need to decide on the type of paper you feel is appropriate for your cards.

Using a pair of colours can make your cards seem more expensive. Should you want to create a two-tone effect, find yourself two cards in different shades of the same colour. Alternatively, clashing colours such as scarlet and white can be equally effective.<\/p>\n
It is vital to use the best quality paper you can afford. Your cards should be robust enough to survive their travels in the mailbag without getting bent, while also holding up well and feeling firm between the fingers.<\/p>\n
Utilise less commonly used papers to give your invitations a stylish edge. Have you considered metallic, pearlescent or reflective papers for example? Printing on these cards in black can still be relatively cheap option, though will result in a professional set of invites.<\/p>\n
The texture plays a part in the overall tone of your invitations. Modern invites should be printed on smooth, high gloss paper while those more traditional in design will utilise paper with a linen finish.<\/p>\n
Try overlaying your cards with vellum paper, a translucent paper that is most often seen in pastel shades or pure white. Words are still visible beneath vellum paper but it adds an extra dimension to your design.<\/p>\n
