Choosing wedding invitations is an important part of your special day. Your invitations serve as a type of business card for your wedding; they’re the first thing your guests will see and they act as a representation for the theme and atmosphere of your wedding. If you’re choosing to have your wedding in a tropical location or just opting for a tropical theme, tropical wedding invitations are the perfect way to incorporate a beach setting. There are many varieties of beach wedding invitations, as some include bright and bold colors, while others include palm tree and seashell prints. Other invitations take in a beautiful sunset or the waves of an ocean. If you’re looking to cut down costs, choose invitations that are light in color so that you can print them off at home. If you’re going for brighter colors, opt to have them professionally printed in inks that will stand out against bold hues.

If you love the idea of tropical theme wedding invitations but have a tight budget, consider making them yourself. You can purchase white or light colored cardstock and use stickers or stamps in the shapes of starfish, palm trees or suns. You can also choose to use a photograph of you and your partner at the beach and use this as the cover of your invitation. If you don’t have a photograph you’d like to use, choose a general photo of a couple at the beach.

Since stickers and stamps can still be quite expensive, opt to have cutouts of starfish or seashells to serve as your wedding invitations. Starfish or seashell wedding invitations can be traced out on a piece of cardstock and cut out, or purchased already made. The only disadvantage is that while these invitations are unique and eye-catching, they are difficult to print off on your own. For these reasons, you may have to have them printed professionally, which can add to your budget. A good tip is to print off the invitations at home on a piece of white or light colored cardstock, then cut them out in the shape you’d like.
