For a themed wedding
If the celebration is planned in some style, the invitation cards alone will make guests look forward to this important event.

If you're planning a baroque wedding, don't be afraid to go overboard with sparkles and gold. Ornate patterns on a postcard, three-dimensional drawings, and patterns of curved lines would also be appropriate.
For a vintage wedding, invitations can be decorated with brooches, lace, and black and white photos in vintage costumes. For an eco-style celebration, leaves, berries, seeds and other natural gifts will be useful in making cards.
And if the event is planned in a national style, feel free to use national ornaments, costume elements, fabrics and fringe in the design of the product.
Electronic wedding invitation
Email has become an integral part of the life of a modern person.
Electronic messages are sent and received by millions of people every day, but they are not only a way to deliver relevant, important information to the recipient.

To design an electronic invitation, it is always possible to use special templates - postcards or stickers, with photographs of the bride and groom, sparkling and shimmering, with or without musical accompaniment.
