Invitation Ideas for a Vineyard Theme Wedding



One of the key components to having a wedding is planning the theme to go along with it. If you are still choosing the theme you would want to use for your wedding, a good suggestion is to go with something that best describes your personality and interests.

Nowadays, there is a rising number of weddings that are using vineyard or wine country wedding themes. With the beautiful scenery and peaceful ambiance of a vineyard, there’s no wonder why many opt for this theme for their wedding. More importantly, the pleasantries of being a wine enthusiast can be a great way to get inspired for your wedding theme.

If a vineyard/wine country wedding style is a theme you would like to go with, here are some tips on how you can attach these elements to your wedding:

Guestbook

Plenty of couples are now looking for alternatives to the classic guestbook options. For a vineyard wedding, you can have your guests sign some of your favorite vintage bottles. With the use of a pen specially designed for writing on glass, you can have your guests sign their names on these bottles. On your first anniversary, you can take out the bottle and drink its content.

Decoration

Your reception decorations can speak volumes of the theme that you have picked out. For a wine themed wedding reception, you can use wine bottles as a way to display your table numbers. Nameplates can be attached to cork so that it keeps in line with your theme. Or get special wine bottle labels from Noteable Expressions.




Invitations

Finally, when you send out your invitations to your guests, see to it that you have kept true with the theme you chose. The colors you can use for the theme include white, cream, and different shades of brown, like chocolate brown and a milder hue. For a truly wine country theme, you can throw in some grape decorations on these invitations to make them keep in line with the theme.



Your wedding theme plays a vital role in your wedding decorations and accessories. Make sure you stick with it so you can get the best results!

How to Arrange Your Wedding Reception Tables



Unless you’re planning a relaxed wedding where your guests can sit wherever they want, sooner or later you’re going to need to figure out how to arrange your tables. This can be a challenge, but when it is done right, it can help your guests enjoy your reception even more.

How many tables? The first step to creating your seating plan is to decide on the number and size of table you’ll use. You will likely work this out with your venue, but it is an essential piece of information along with knowing how many guests you’re inviting.

Which organizing principle? There are different ways of seating your guests. You can put people at a table together based on how you know them (i.e., all work colleagues at one table, all college friends at another, etc.). You can also put people together based on their personalities. This will take a bit of extra work, but can help introduce people to one another.

What to name them? When you print your escort cards and place cards, you’ll need to include information about which table a guest is seated at. While numbers were once the go-to solution, many people find that this can be seen as a way of ranking your friends. Those at Table 2 might not mind, but those at Table 15 might be a bit offish. Instead, choose a theme for table names. This can be tied into your wedding theme, matched to your playlist, or references to special moments or places in your life as a couple.

However you decide to work out your tables and seating plans, you’ll need to have wedding stationery that can direct guests to their seats. Having an expert designer work on the escort cards, place cards, and other stationery can be a great way to add a beautiful finishing touch to your wedding day. Feel free to email me if you need any help!

Why You Should Choose Lovebirds Themed Wedding Invitations

 Love Birds on Ecru Heart Wedding Invitation


Even though most couples find lovebirds as cliché, it can be romantic when used as a theme on the wedding invitation. A more overused wedding invitation theme is a pair of doves embossed on a card. Lovebirds on wedding invitations, on save the date cards, or on both types of invites are more fashionable. Besides that, lovebirds theme has other advantages that should convince you to include it in the whole wedding.

Straight to the Point

Seeing lovebirds on a card would help the recipient connect the dots even before browsing the contents. Wedding invites are fancy at first glance but lovebird themed cards cut to the chase. It is a romantic design that is not only relevant but also flexible.

Can Accommodate the Wedding Theme

If you have a garden, homespun, or even beach wedding theme, lovebirds on wedding invitations can still be suitable. It does not matter whether you have an indoor or outdoor wedding. Lovebirds stay together in challenging conditions. That is why it complements the love a couple has for each other as well as wedding cards.

Can Cater to Other Wedding Colors

Even if you choose red as one of the main colors of your wedding, lovebird themed invites can include that aspect into the design. You can choose red as the color of the paper or the ink to enhance the lovebird design. Even if you choose a neutral color that has nothing to do with the color theme, a lovebird design on wedding invites can still make it look lavish.

Easy on The Eyes

A lovebird design on wedding invites can provide an uncluttered look. The recipient of wedding invitation can focus on the important details. If you want to have a simple but elegant wedding card theme, a lovebirds theme is a smart choice.
