Irish weddings are predominantly catholic weddings, they are very extravagant and often times, expensive. Irish wedding invitations are one of the few items that you can have a traditional Celtic design or even an Irish blessing to make them more personal. For all the planning involved in creating the perfect Irish wedding, many overlook the Irish wedding invitation and how beautiful they can be, whether you choose a simple design or something more fancy.
Some popular designs for Irish wedding invites are Celtic knot work. These are very intricate and complicated looking designs that are very beautiful. Most often times, in an Irish wedding, kilts are worn with the family colors and crest. If you are having a traditional Irish wedding that will include the family colors you can request any designer to create your knot work using those colors if you so choose.
Another popular design for invites to an Irish wedding include photo wedding invites where a picture of the bride and groom to be are used as a background, or even a center image. These are nice invites if you are sending wedding invitations to your relatives that you do not see often, or maybe even your great aunt Agnes three times removed on your father’s side that has dementia. Whichever the case may be, photo wedding invitations are a nice reminder for those that you don’t see often.
Green, red and gold are the most popular colors used on an Irish wedding invitation, by no means is it necessary to include these colors, but they are very popular among most clans. When it comes to the wording of your invitations, there are numerous Irish blessings that are perfect for weddings. You can use a traditional wording format if you choose to, but it often times does not fit the design of the invite, making it look odd. When it comes to the lettering of your Irish wedding invites, Celtic writing is one of the most popular, it’s a nice round lettering with curves and a nice medieval look.
Whether you are having a traditional Catholic Irish wedding or just a fancy Irish wedding with kilts, bagpipes and all the family colors, your Irish wedding invitations will be gorgeous. Know that there are many ways to incorporate your Irish theme into your Irish wedding invitations that will make people immediately know your theme.
