Wedding invitations are an important part of wedding celebrations. The invitations are not just going to inform your guests about the wedding details like who you are going to marry, where and when the event will take place, and other information you wish to include, these also provide guests an idea of what to expect in the celebration.
While it is easy to just go with the trends and let your wedding coordinator pick the style that best matches your theme, it would actually be great to choose your own style.
Check out these unique DIY ideas for stylish wedding invitations that would surely wow your guests.

This might be a bit difficult to pull off through DIY but you’ll find plenty of tutorials online. This type of card obviously makes use of thick paper and you might need special tools to cut the puzzle pieces if the paper is too thick. But this invitation is cute in that your guests have to figure out the puzzle before getting the message.
Invitations with Souvenirs

If you have the budget to do something grander, invitations that double as souvenirs could be a great option for your wedding. Depending on the theme, you could objects like small potted plants, wine bottles, fridge magnets, compass, slippers, candles, and other cool options.
