Using butterflies to decorate your wedding stationery is becoming increasingly popular due to the romantic and relaxing imagery that is associated with the butterfly. Butterflies are some of the most symbolic creatures and because of this they are the perfect way to decorate and embellish your wedding invitations and wedding stationery to gorgeous effect.
In Chinese culture, two butterflies flying together is a symbol of love, and images of two butterflies together are used to symbolise a happy marriage. If you are already considering an oriental theme for your wedding then using butterfly wedding invitations is the perfect way to set the tone. It’s not just oriental themes that suit butterflies, in many cultures butterflies symbolise rebirth into a new life, which is the exact imagery many couples desire for their wedding day.
If you are planing on holding an outdoor wedding, your butterfly wedding theme can be expanded beautifully across your entire wedding stationery range to add a burst of life and creativity – perfect for a summer wedding!

- Be Informative. Your evening wedding invitations need to be perfectly clear as to the time of the reception and noting that it is a reception only invitation. You must not forget, however, that other information is still vital. You need to make sure the venue, time and dress code are all detailed in your evening wedding invitation. Additional information sheets may also be useful for suggesting nearby hotels, directions to the venue and any r.s.v.p information.
- Choose Luxury Evening Wedding Invitations. As your guests are only receiving either evening or combined ceremony and reception invitations, it is just as important that your evening wedding invitations are of the same high quality as your combined invitations. One way to be sure your invitations scream luxury is by choosing professionally handmade designs. Top handmade Wedding stationers will use gorgeous boards and beautiful embellishments such as ribbons and crystals to really impress your guests.
Summer's Evening Wedding Invitation
- Treat Equally. Your wedding reception invitations should be ordered, written and sent out at the same time as your standard wedding invitations. A guest only attending the reception still need to make the same arrangements as the guests attending your ceremony and it is vital that your reception guests are not made to feel any less important.
- Do Not Go Into Detail. Your evening wedding invitations should simply be an invitation to your reception. Do not feel obliged to discuss the ceremony or the reason some guests were not invited
