Minimal wedding invitations are perfect for a wedding with pared-back decor and striking details. If your aesthetic leans minimalist, a simple invitation is a great way to introduce guests to the design to come. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite minimalist wedding invitations, each of which you can customize and purchase online. And, they all offer a sample invitation which we highly recommend because many online design dashboards don’t give you the full effect — and there’s just something about holding the tangible product in your hand!

The vows were said, the dances were danced, the drinks were drunk, and the day went by in a flash — just like everyone said it would. Your wedding day is a marked moment in your life that you’ll return to again and again. So, it’s important that your wedding photo album can keep up! You need one that checks all the boxes: keepsake quality that will last, integrity in photo coloring, simplicity in design, and a well-made cover that won’t bend or break over time.

First things first, the design process! Once you get your images uploaded to Mpix’s album builder, the process of actually putting together the album is super simple — even fun. They have a LOT of options for page layouts to drag and drop your photos but it’s not overwhelming. It only took about an hour to create! Overall, it was a user-friendly experience and we were excited to see how it looked IRL.

Wedding planning: you love it or you…tolerate it — preferably with a glass of rosé in hand either way (don’t forget to check out our wedding planning tips to make your life easier). With every cake tasting (YAY) there’s another decision you have to make (boo). We’ve been there, and that’s why we’re determined to help you get more YAYs than boos out of wedding planning. Above all, it’s always best to include your partner — whether you make special date nights all about wedding planning OR you make date nights to take a breather from wedding planning! Because each step in the process is another step toward saying, “I do,” and that’s pretty darn exciting.

When you think about it, just about every decision in wedding planning ultimately reflects one thing: your style! There’s the obvious choice of the dress, of course, but all the details from florals to food are representations of the things you love. We’re partial to believe that your stationery should follow suit! The Save the Date card, for example, is one of the first “tastes” your guests will get of the celebration to come — so shouldn’t it feel like you?

The post From Yes to I Do: Customize Premium Wedding Invitations + More with Mixbook appeared first on Green Wedding Shoes.

We know it’s been said before, but we think it’s worth sharing again…your wedding invitations can really help set the right tone for your entire celebration. Picture this: you’re a wedding guest and you get a fun, colorful, playful invite in the mail. You’d probably be safe to make the assumption that the wedding will be a more relaxed, lighthearted fête. Open your mailbox to find a glam, gold letter pressed suite? This wedding will likely be more a formal affair. We think you can see where we’re going with this, but what if you turn the whole idea around, allowing your wedding invitations to inspire many of your wedding design choices? We say that approach is a pretty solid concept! And there is no better place to start your invite browsing + design brainstorming than Minted!

The post Design your wedding From Cards to Cake with Minted appeared first on Green Wedding Shoes.

Here at GWS, we see countless cakes + invitations come through, and keep a pulse on what designs are trending. So with each season + passing year, we’re thrilled to see what artistic creations we come by and share them all with you! One thing we really love is how an invitation can set the tone for the celebration and then how it is translated into the event. For example, say you’re sending out a watercolor-inspired invite — you could then incorporate pastel florals, watercolor escort cards, and even a watercolor painted cake! There are so many ways to tie the whole day together and we’re pretty darn giddy about the possibilities!

We adore how they infuse elements of their personalities and relationship into their big day, sharing with everyone what makes them, well them. You probably already know this, but we’re big on forgoing tradition, meaning we like customizing everything, and making each and every aspect of your life one-of-a-kind. That means it shouldn’t stop at just the wedding, right? :) When we stumbled upon these customizable photo books from Mixbook, we thought they were so perfect for GWS couples!
