Personalized
When it comes to customize-made wedding invitations, you can choose exactly how personal you want to get with it. If you are both wine lovers, you can create a wine-themed invitation. If you have a friend who is a great artist, you can have him/her draw a cartoon version of the two of you, which you can print on the invitation. If you want to make the invitations very personal to the two of you, print your engagement photo on the invitation. While personalized wedding invitations are not cheap, they are unique and leave room for as much creativity as you would like.
