Unique Wedding Invitation Ideas

The wedding invitation is the first glimpse your guests will get of your ceremony, so you want to make sure your wedding invitations set the right tone and entice them to attend your ceremony. There are many options available from do it yourself invitations to custom-made, from traditional to quirky, and choices to suit every budget and wedding theme. If you're looking for wedding invitation ideas that are unique and a little bit offbeat, here are a few of my favorites.

Another Etsy seller, My Blue Tulip Design, has listed a winner with these sugar skull wedding invitations, which would be great if you're having a Day of the Dead or Halloween themed wedding.
