7. Watercolor Hearts Invitation ($100 for unlimited recipients): Watercolor-themed weddings have been a huge hit throughout the past year, and if you’re planning one, this invitation is the perfect way to introduce your theme. Along with the simple, easy-to-read typescript, we’re totally digging the subtle watercolor backdrop and venn diagram made from hearts instead of circles.
8. Watercolor Wash Invitation ($100 for unlimited recipients): If you’re seeking even more watercolor-esque inspo, this blush-colored invitation is a definite must-see. And if you happen to love the style but not this specific shade, it’s also available in light blue and brighter pink.
9. Crystal Border Invitation ($100 for unlimited recipients): Featuring five eye-catching hues and a modern geometric design, this invitation carries the look of colorful crystals. It’s also incredibly versatile, making it an ideal choice for everything from a vineyard fête to dinner and drinks in an upscale loft setting.
