Vintage Wedding Invitations for a Cocktail-Inspired Celebration

The little details about weddings lead to everything. Whether it be the location and gowns to the food and entertainment, every detail must tell the story of you as a couple. And in the event that you are going to have yourself married in a cocktail-driven wedding party, what better method to announce your theme than via your vintage wedding invitations. In particular, old fashioned wedding invitations may create the most appropriate atmosphere: classic, sophisticated, and with the old charm.

So, What Is the Point of Going Vintage?

The theme of vintage never goes out of fashion. They add romance, class and narrative to any festivity they bring. With this kind of wedding (cocktail), you can also combine vintage glamour and contemporary elegance when you decide to use a vintage theme. The result? A bride wedding that is nostalgic and special.

Capturing the Cocktail Party Essence

The mood is what cocktail-theme wedding is all about. Imagine it, cocktails, low lamps, free jazz or swing music in the background and guests chatting in their best outfits. That feel should be taken to your invitations even before your guests RSVP.

Now this is how you can do that:

1. Select the Appropriate Color Scheme

Not all food has to be beige and brown and that is vintage. Vamp it in a “cocktailed” way so as to consider deep emerald greens, dark rose, burgundy, navy or even for effects of touches of gold foil. These are decadent but elegant colors and at the same time, they also appear retro and familiar.

2. Use Retro-Inspired Fonts

The difference in fonts is considerably important in tone. You can use the art deco typefaces or cursive calligraphy or even the typewriter style font to give a feel of your preferred vintage era. Use both restful headings and stately subtext to strike a compromise between fashion and decipherability.

3. Add Beautiful Illustrations

Vintage equipment, old glasses or chandeliers are ideal elements to place on your invitations. They play the slight twist of referencing your cocktail theme, as well as adding to the visual aesthetic.

Things To Include in Your Invitation Suite

The key to creating the optimum invitation package to your cocktail wedding is more than the actual invitational card. These are some extras to take into consideration:

RSVP Card

Indeed, we urge our guests to reply with flare. You may use humorous phrasing such as: Will toast with you! or Will be there in spirit only.

Details Card

Include cocktail hour details, do organize the dress code (maybe ice cube black tie or Mad Men chic). It is fun and personal to mention signature cocktails by name.

Save the Date Samples

Make your guests feel impressed before the invitations are even sent out leaving them with memorable bold and creative save the date samples basing on the vintage cocktail venue. Consider photo booth-like strips, vinyl record imitations or postcards retro bar signs. Because these pre-invites are an invitation to an event the fun and theme are already predetermined.

DIY or Custom Design?

When it comes to vintage wedding invitations , you can either DIY using templates or hire a designer to capture your exact vision. And don’t forget to tease the magic early with save the date samples that are just as stylish and thematic. Your wedding begins long before the big day—start it with an invitation that sets the tone in the most enchanting way possible.
