Invitations Suites

Tiger Bride, on December 16, 2020 at 12:42 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 13

I don't know about y'all, but I am obsessed with gorgeous pictures of invitation flatlays Smiley love and I've been thinking about what ours might look like. However, we opted for a rather limited invitation suite to save money on both the paper and the postage. We have the actual invitation and a business card-sized card for directions on how to RSVP via the website (or call us if they need to). I know paper RSVPs are traditional, but I just didn't feel the expense was worth it. All of our wedding details are on the website.

If any of you had a minimal invitation suite, were you/your photographer still able to get nice pictures of it? Did you accent with other items, like flowers, the rings, etc.? I'd love to see your inspo!

    I won’t have guests, but I plan to create and print one just for pictures with my bouquet, heels, perfume, and crown 😅

    We went pretty limited on ours as well. We did online RSVP's as well, so no RSVP card. Our photographer took really pretty photos of ours! We got married outside in the fall, so she added in some fall leaves, a little greenery, and some flowers. We did foil invitations and, to me, that is the most beautiful part of the photos.

    She did something similar with our save the dates too!

    Because we're wanting to stay under budget, we're sending out invitations without the extras. No detail card or rsvp card. I had toyed around with the idea of adding a vellum overlay to our invitations, but everywhere I've checked is WAY too pricey for a piece of transparent paper haha! All of our information is on our website, as well as an rsvp page, so our wedding website will be listed on the back of our invitations. I actually haven't thought about getting our photographer to add our invite to a flatlay! The only items I want in it are my shoes, perfume, jewelry, rings, bouquet and ring box. Thanks for the suggestion!

    So we had done save the dates before covid and sent those. Then due to covid, we decreased our guest count and just invited parents and close friends so we didn’t need to send them an invite, so all I had for my details shot was our save the date. Photographer used my shoes, jewelry, bouquet and mask as additional items.Invitations Suites 1

    Most pictures I have seen are of the invitation only, not the entire set. If you want more included, let the photographer know.

    Our photographer used our rings, a ribbon, and our Save the Date to help fill out the invitation suite picture:

    So you can definitely use other items to help make this picture complete!

    I agree with others to have items added to the picture & it'll look fine!

    This is so pretty!! I think adding the save the date could definitely be a good way to fill it out!

    I actually drew a map for us to include with our suites, but it would have just about doubled the cost so I decided to forego it! I like your ideas here. We are DIYing the flowers so I think I will get a few extras to use for the photos.

    That's really cool! But sucks that it would add so much extra cost, but I'm sure everything will look great!
