Asian Theme Wedding Invitations
Creating Unique Asian Themed Wedding Invitations
By the time you get around to choosing invitations for your
wedding, you should have a good idea of what your wedding will
look like. The invitations that you choose should reflect the
theme and personal style of your wedding day - especially if
you've chosen a themed wedding.
Asian theme wedding invitations can be elegant and formal, or
whimsical and fun, depending on your own preference. The
popularity of the Asian theme means that there's a wide variety of
Asian theme wedding invitations available.

Shindigz.com for good selection and low prices. Look for 'Asian'
under the 'Theme parties' menu item or do a site search for 'Asian'. For more online merchants, please visit

If you've decided to incorporate your Asian wedding theme into the
invitations that you choose, here are some things that might help
you find just the right style invitation to express your personal
style and feelings about your special day.
If you only want to add a touch of the East to traditional wedding
invitations, try choosing a font that has an 'Oriental' feeling to
it. Have the envelopes, both inner and outer, addressed by a
professional Oriental calligrapher with a brush stroke pen.
Another way of adding a touch of the Orient is with a wax seal on
the inner envelope. Use transparent jewel-toned red, or rich gold,
and stamp with the symbol for long life or double happiness, a
traditional wedding symbol. For extra glitz, dust with gold powder
before the seal hardens.
Want to be a little more daring, but still follow tradition? Use
traditional Western wording on decidedly non-traditional paper. A
striking choice is a silk thread paper in rich crimson, edged with
gold foil. Add a tasseled gold silk cord on the side. The impact
is both stunning and memorable, especially if you choose gold
lettering for the engraving.
Many invitation suppliers carry Asian themed wedding invitations.
A beautiful choice for a simple Japanese ceremony is plain rice
paper imprinted with the symbol for Double Happiness or Love and
Long Life along the left edge.
If you're using a Japanese theme for your wedding, remember that
nature plays a big part in every facet of Japanese tradition. A
simple wedding invitation on rice paper imprinted with a
shadow-imprint of a bamboo leaf (for long life and happiness) or a
crane (for fidelity and happiness) is a beautiful and meaningful
choice.
Are you leaning toward a festive, ceremonial Chinese style
wedding? Choose brighter colors, and include Chinese symbols for
luck and love in the design. Decorate the cards with shimmering
silk cords and tassels, and add a pinch of glitter to the envelope
before sealing it.
If you'd like something truly unique, though, no matter what style
of Asian theme wedding you've chosen, send the invitation in the
form of a scroll. You can choose rice paper or parchment scrolls,
imprinted with your invitation details. Send them out in scroll
boxes rather than in envelopes, accompanied by RSVP cards tucked
into the box.
