When you think of wedding invites what comes to mind? White card, florals, greenery, velum, lace jackets. They are all big wedding invitation trends but the problem is they’re not very original are they? And that’s where these 5 wedding invitation designers come in!
I’ve rounded up the best, quirkiest and coolest invites for all you brides who like things a little different. Step on to Pinterest and the chances are when you search for wedding invites you’re met with an abundance of the above, it can be hard to see where your wedding fits in. But worry not, we love the kooky, cool and alternative style over here and that’s why we’ve got you covered. So ditch the florals, the plain white card and the foiled writing and make way for these loud and proud invites!

Victoria is the face behind You Me Oui and her idea is simple. Create wedding invites that give guests all the information about the big day without a thousand different pieces of card. Her geometric designs have all the information you need with just a quick twist of the invite! Clever!
On top of that, You Me Oui’s designs are inspired by the fact that being a wedding guest is fun. Victoria’s designs allow couples to embrace individuality and make their own traditions. To put it simply You Me Oui make invitations that are simple but fun, make brides and grooms happy and leave guests in awe.

The VE Weddings
The VE Weddings sprung from The Violet Electric, a graphic design and illustration company run by Hattie. The VE Weddings specialise in wedding stationary that’s not made to be subtle.
If you’re breaking the mould with your wedding then you’ll want a stationary designer with a similar ethos and The VE Weddings are passionate about creating the details for your day that are fun, creative and get your guests counting down the days. They believe that your day should scream you as a couple and celebrate love in your own way.
Wedfest
Festival themed weddings are big news right now so if you’re looking to have a festival themed wedding then you need Wedfest in your life! Created by designer Marty, Wedfest specialises in rock ‘n’ roll themed wedding stationary for rockers, boutique weddings and bohemian couples.
Wedfest offer full customisation options or can collaborate with you to create something new and bespoke to your day. Alongside stationary Wedfest also make wristbands to match the festival vibes. So you could have personalised wristbands for your wedding or hen party to tie in with your theme.
What I love about all of these wedding stationary designers is that they’re all doing things differently, they all have shared values of weddings been less about tradition and more about what the couple wants. They all fit in with The Thrifty Bride thinking that weddings should represent the couple. Over here we love quirky, original and alternative and that’s why we’ve chosen to showcase these five designers. I hope you love them as much as I do.
I’d love to know what your wedding invitations are like. Leave a comment below and let me know!
I think Peach Wolfe Paper Co are my favourite! I love these designers and their designs of invitations – they’re so different from the norm. If my boyfriend and I were to get married, I think we’d definitely have to go for something like this because we’re not the romantic, hearts and flowers kind of couple!
Neither are we! I think these alternative invites are amazing and really stand out!
These all look so stunning and quirky. I didn’t have the time to send invitations, or even the means because it was all during COVID, but I would have loved ‘Til Death’ ones. We had orignally wanted to get married on Halloween, but settled for a small wedding on the same date as my grandparents.
The ‘Til Death’ ones would be perfect for a Halloween wedding! I love the look of Halloween and autumnal weddings but I hate being cold which is why we’ve gone for a summer wedding!
Wow, they’re unique and bright! I don’t think I would want my wedding invitation designed like that but I know some couples who would be down for this! Lovely article. Thanks for sharing!

I love all of these – they just don’t look at all like your average wedding invitation! I would definitely frame any of these, and I would happily remember about them through the years!
They’re great aren’t they? I love that they’re so different.
