The design theme of your wedding card should be the same as the theme of your wedding so that you can make a perfect concept. Deciding on a design theme makes the process of wedding invitation easier because you can already have an idea of what might work and not for the design of the wedding invitation card with the theme that you have chosen. Choose the font style, colors, printing styles, and other decorations that best support the agreed theme for the wedding and wedding invitation card. With a clear theme, the guests of your wedding can also get an idea of the appropriate attire to wear for the event.
2. Pick on the Right Paper
The paper choice for wedding card invitation printing is very important because different paper makes different quality outcome.

Heavy card stock is one of the most popular types of paper that is common to be used for wedding invitation printing because it is durable. The quality makes it perfect for a keepsake.
Vellum paper stock is translucent and usually used as a covering for thicker paper. But still, it can be directly printed on.
As for cotton paper, it is not as affordable as the other two but its quality is definitely top notch, looking elegant, beautiful, and absolutely perfect for wedding invitation printing.
3. Simple Design

There are different printing style options that you can choose to make your wedding invitation look more appealing and elegant. The cost for each style is different; some are affordable and some are more expensive.
