Modern Wedding Invitations

The modern selection is for anyone who finds the classics a little museum-like: large type, high-contrast blocks of colour, a dark background, unexpected pairs of fonts. The invitation reads more like the poster for a good event than a greeting card.

Take a design like this if the wedding itself breaks the mould: a party instead of a seated dinner, a DJ instead of a host, a dress code in black. The other way round, it suits a formal family dinner in a restaurant badly - guests read the tone of an invitation before they read a word of it.

Dark templates have a pleasant side effect: on a phone they do not glare, and they look right in the night theme of the messaging apps where invitations are usually opened.
