For the Bride with a Traditional Side
There are many options for the bride who wants to have wedding

want them to be mistaken for invitations that were around 20 years ago,
you may want to stick close to tradition. However, there are many great
ideas that will stay close to tradition while still providing you with
beautiful invitations that you will love.
- Soft Colors - While traditional and formal invitations usually are
done on white or cream colored paper, you may also want to consider
using soft colors as well. Pale pinks, blues, and greens will look
wonderful and still give you that traditional feel that you want.
- Interesting Ink - Traditionally the ink used on invitations was always
done in black; however, if you want to keep close to tradition but with
a little flair, consider using different colors of ink. You will still
want to use dark colors, but navy or forest green will look great. You
may even want to coordinate the ink with your wedding colors.

going to want to go with the simple font styles. While there are many
fonts to choose from, for that traditional, formal look you will
probably want to stick with a font that is simply elegant.
