The All-in-One Wedding Invitations
Let’s start with one of the most popular trends in wedding invitations this year, the “All in One wedding invitations”. Why are they so popular?

Also known as all-in-one wedding invitations or tri-fold wedding invitations, these gorgeous creations are a popular choice for modern couples with busy lifestyles.
How does it work? You have the wedding invitation details on the inside, including your names, wedding date, venue, times, and any other relevant information about your wedding. You can also choose to have a perforated RSVP section included on the all-in-one wedding invitations.
This Perforated RSVP section provides your wedding guests the option to tear off the RSVP card and send it back through mail whilst keeping the other info they need. Sending the RSVP card back would not require any envelope if it is already in postcard format, which we highly suggest if you’re thinking of saving more cost.
Die-cut Shapes Combo
As you may already know from our blog, one of our favorite online tools for designing wedding invitations is Paperlust. These guys have put a lot of effort into research during the last few years, mainly gathering key data on everything related to colours and shapes of invitations.
They’ve also been equipped with the latest technology and new in-house machines, so their designers produce numerous designs every day to keep us with the latest trends, while at the same time – remaining original and unique.
This year, there are new designs that utilize various shapes and colours across different cards which coherent with each other. For example, we really love this OceanWaves design.
In addition, there’s a vast range of coloured envelopes to complete the entire look which customers can choose from.

Vellum Layer Invitations
Another popular trend this year, is playing with layering by combining vellum and Matte paper together and presenting a combination of writings on top of images. Secured with an exclusive fastener, which is available in gold, black and silver – this definitely gives an extra touch to the invite set while still affordable.
