Designing perfect wedding and party invitations is important if you want to get your guests excited about your upcoming celebration. Your invitations should entice guests who live outside of Louisiana with visions of bayou romance and charming New Orleans architecture. You're lucky enough to be hosting an event in a city that's world-famous for its music and food; your party invitations should reflect it, and guests will travel from miles around.

While bulk retailers may be a tempting choice for finding budget wedding invitations, you'll make a stronger impression on your guests with one-of-a-kind wedding invitations that truly represent you. If you met your fiancé while working for New Orleans' Aquarium of the Americas, for example, you may wish to choose an aquatic theme for your wedding invitations and Save the Date cards. Cartoon fish, bubbles, and even mermaid-themed caricatures of yourself and your spouse-to-be are all fair game when designing wedding invitations that are customized to your relationship, so have fun. 

New Orleans wedding and party invitations come in all styles. If you're planning a formal event, consider linen or another fine material for printing your wedding invitations (a garden party could use a simple, heavy card stock). New Orleans printers likewise offer different styles that will affect your guests' perceptions of your party invitations. Engraving will physically press your words into the paper, making them visible from both sides. Thermography will use heat-activated resins to raise your writing from the paper's surface, and is usually more affordable. Looking for a little something extra? Why not print your party invitations on paper with wildflower seeds embedded in it? That way, your guests can plant the party invitations afterward for a colorful reminder of your celebration.
