Top tips for your Berks, Bucks or Oxon wedding invitations

Milton Keynes' Original Wedding Tea Towel has been a game-changer for wedding invitations through its quirky tailor-made tea towels. Now founder Karen Brown talks to us about the latest trends in invites...

It's all about personality Lots of couples are choosing to inject their own personalities into their big day. For many, this starts with invites.

Botanicals and nature Nature-based imagery adds a more grown-up feel but still leaves room for a fun, playful tone to get guests excited.

Relaxed fonts and wording Wording has become less formal. We're also seeing a move away from super-swirly calligraphy towards solid serif fonts with tall slimline fonts to complement.

Save the dates Every couple is different, so whether it's a save-the-date tea towel or a text message, it's important to do what you feel most comfortable with when it comes to getting that all-important date in the diary.

Colours To fit with the botanical imagery, try using corals, mint greens and natural tones on invites. If you can find it in the garden or in a Hawaiian coral reef, then you're on the right track!

Working together There's a greater number of couples coming to us together to be part of the planning process – a solid step away from the stereotype that grooms are only interested in the stag do and what beers will be on tap. Expect to see many couples having fun with their wedding by making them more personal experiences. We can't wait!
