Traditional invitation cards can be very formal and don’t leave a lot of room to infuse your own personality. Destination wedding invitations offer you a chance to show off your creative side.
Invitations for a destination wedding tend to have a theme that reflects the couple and the destination where the wedding will take place.
They tend to be more colorful and fun in the way they look, and the wording is generally more spirited and informal.
Listed below are some online websites that offer unique destination wedding invitation cards. In creating the list below, we have tried to show off the different styles and themes that can be used for your destination wedding.
Above the image of each card, we have listed the website where you can find more of the same.

Themed Destination Wedding Invitations
There are many different types of themes to use when looking at invitations. You can select a beach theme or a winter theme or vineyard theme if you want to keep things simple. Or you could start looking at more creative things like passport or sandal shaped wedding invites that are sure to delight your wedding guests. Here is a sampling of some of the websites we like.

Other Creative Ideas
Be on the cover of your own magazine at Wedzines. You can fill the 10 or 15 page magazine with your love story, your history together and apart, how you met, bride and groom trivia, your favorite things, and what you love about each other. In addition, it can serve as a wedding agenda and a keepsake.
Some things to think about
Destination wedding invites also need to have more information that traditional invitations. Many brides will add inserts that specify the information about the room block at a hotel (How to get a block of rooms for a destination wedding), group airfare rates, and the destination itself.
Another thing to keep in mind is that a destination wedding invite needs to be sent out much earlier than a traditional one. Because wedding guests have to make travel plans, request vacations, and budget, the earlier you send the cards, the better.
Selecting your destination wedding invitations should not be that difficult once you go through some of the websites and Pinterest boards. Simply select the style that best reflects your personalities and that of your destination.
