Time to get inspired! Deciding on your wedding theme / colors can be a daunting task, but sometimes one small design can spark a world full of ideas and possibilities. Whether it’s a flower in a magazine, a friend’s wedding detail or maybe a design on a bridal brochure; you can look for color and theme spark ideas just about anywhere. One of our newest formal holiday party invitations from IB Designs, the Floral Vine on Red and Black invitation, has inspired me to create a red & black montage of suggestions for our holiday-season brides and grooms.

This holiday-inspired collection features dark and striking hues of red, black and white, all in a modern fashion with floral vining details. Of course, the red element picks up your holiday season inspiration and your black elements will add a modern twist to your traditional occasion.

Start with our Floral Vine invitation, (available in red or green), and incorporate the hues and designs from the invitation into your wedding cake, bridal gown, bridesmaids dresses, boutonnieres, flower arrangements and table linens. Send each guest home with a red and black box of traditional holiday candy. The dark colors of this bridal theme will even allow for you to incorporate vintage designs into your wedding essentials.

Nothing brings the family together like a bountiful feast during this beautiful time of year. Spend this Thanksgiving with those that you love and are thankful for by hosting a Thanksgiving dinner for all to enjoy. It’s also a great way to fill everyone up before the busy shopping day (Black Friday) ahead!

Our Thanksgiving invitations include a multitude of designs that will coordinate with your Thanksgiving party-style. Choose from brisk borders with fall foliage, leaves and autumn swirls or festive designs with fall wreaths, turkeys, cornucopias and fall swags. For dinner parties, choose one of our designs that features a fall place setting or an ornate scrolling invitation with autumn hues in orange, brown and white. Hosting an open house? We also have fall invitations with outdoor scenes of door entrances decorated for the autumn season. Whatever type of event your hosting, we have a great design to coordinate.

Remember that fall family events can tie some relatives and friends up early in the season. Do your best to send your invitations out early, especially for those that have to travel long distances, so that all guests can plan ahead and attend.

Sometimes you don’t pick the holiday photo card. Sometimes your photo picks it’s holiday photo card for you. Take the wondering out of whether or not your photo will look good on your desired holiday card with our brand new photo previewing system that allows you to try multiple photos on any of our digital holiday photo cards!

Our previewing system allows you to not only preview your holiday card text on your desired card but will now allow you to upload up to ten photographs to our website and “try them out” or preview them on your desired digital holiday photo card(s). You can crop your photo, alter the orientation or change photo hue (black and white, sepia or color). One of the benefits of this system is that you can really bring out the colors and desired effects of your photograph. For example, you can choose a holiday card with black or brown hues to compliment a more formal photograph or maybe choose a vibrant holiday photo card with bright colors and crazy patterns to compliment a fun photo of your family. Whatever type of photo you have, you are welcome to try it out multiple times using our preview system until you find the perfect fit.

You have been asking…we have listened! We appreciate the feedback we receive from our customers, especially if we can make your shopping experience more enjoyable! Earlier this year InvitationBox implemented an online preview system for our shoppers to preview their text on their chosen stationery prior to placing their order. You can then save your design for that shopping session, which in turn allows our typesetters to see what you would like your card to look like, prior to sending you a professional proof.

Since the implementation of our preview system we have received many requests to create a preview system that includes your uploaded photograph for our digital photograph order customers. Well, ask and you shall receive! We are very excited to introduce our new customizable digital photo card preview system.

This is especially helpful for our birth announcement customers that have oh-so-many perfect pictures of their newborn. After choosing your photograph, you can edit your photo by cropping it, rotating it and changing your photo effects to black and white, sepia or color.

Do your research when planning this party to concoct some signature holiday cocktails involving festive holiday staples like peppermint, chai, eggnog and chocolate.

Choose a holiday party invitation that gives lead to the type and formality of party you’re hosting, be it swanky and dressy or fun and casual. Our holiday cocktail party invitations include holiday martinis, silhouettes of friends decked out in holiday attire, festive wine glasses, holiday swizzle sticks, happy hour signs and other holiday spirit designs.
