Because of COVID, a lot of couples are choosing to elope–from city hall ceremonies to extravagant destinations, we've seen it all. One great thing that we're noticing is that couples are still investing in a celebration, even if they decide to forgo the big guest list. Brides and grooms alike are sporting multiple outfit changes, the flowers (or should we say floral installations) are getting bigger than ever, but the one thing that you may not think to order for your elopement is wedding invitations. After all, why would you order invitations if you're not inviting anyone? Well, we will break it down for you right here!

Invitation designers and calligraphers are artists first and foremost. You'd be surprised what they can do, all you have to do is ask. Some couples even have a painting done of their venue or a portrait of themselves commissioned for their invitations.

Having your photographer do a flat-lay with your wedding invitation suite (like the one above) is a must-have on any wedding day shot list! It'll look great in your wedding photo album, or you can go ahead and frame the invite itself.

3. Extra Budget To Have Them Custom-Made

Because you won't need to order a ton, you can have them custom-made. That means working with your stationer to select every last detail from the paper and the calligraphy to the stamps and accessories.

4. You Can Have Matching Announcements Made

You'll still want to tell all of your loved ones the happy news, and most couples do that with wedding announcements. You can ask your stationery designer to make matching wedding announcements to send out to your family and friends to let them know you tied the knot. It's also a great idea to order vow books that coordinate with your invitation suite. If you have your vows written ahead of time, you can ask your calligrapher to inscribe them in your books for you. They make great keepsakes and look super cute in photos!

We know...everyone says it, but it's so true. Your wedding day comes and goes in the blink of an eye. It's nice to have something tangible (that's not hidden in the back of your closet) that reminds you of the day you said, "I do.". Think of it like Cinderella's glass slipper, only way more practical.
