Vintage inspired wedding invitations are great way to set the theme for a timeless and romantic wedding. I love all things vintage and found this aspect of my life spilling over into ideas for wedding invitations. All of these vintage inspired wedding invitation ideas can be easily accomplished by a beginner. Even if you don’t want to make your own vintage inspired wedding invitations you could use these ideas and incorporate them into commercial invitations.

Lace Vintage Wedding Invitations

Lace is one of those timeless vintage pieces that lend itself well to a formal wedding invitation. Before your wedding invitations are printed, lay a piece of vintage or new lace on top of them. Lightly mist them with a silver or antique gold spray paint. If you have access to an airbrush you could use that as well. The vintage look you are going for is a faded lace pattern on your wedding invitations. You could also use a very dry rounded paintbrush lightly dipped in a metallic paint and dab it on over the lace, like a stencil. If you have to go this route you may want to buy or create you own lace inspired plastic stencil. Fabric lace will not hold up to the paint for long. Allow your wedding invitations to dry completely for at least twenty-four hours. Then drop them back off at the printers. This will add a great vintage touch while still having professionally printed wedding invitations.

Vintage Button Wedding Invitations

Vintage buttons are a great addition to wedding invitaions.
