Modern & contemporary wedding invitations

It’s important to note that “modern” can mean many things; it is whatever modern style means to you. In general though, modern unique wedding invitations push the boundaries of tradition or do away with them entirely. They often feature either sleek minimalistic fonts or loose modern calligraphy, cool geometric designs or fluid abstract ones, and often incorporate metallic hues or shades from a bold color palette. If you’re having a modern wedding, don’t be afraid to select an invitation that is a bit outside the box. Consider geometric patterns as seen on the Davies invitation, and bold typography as seen on the Carlisle invitation.
