One can certainly note how the designers are rapidly replacing convention with innovation when it comes to the wedding invitation cards. Given below are some of the top trends in Indian Wedding cards that are doing the rounds:

Vintage Designs

The vintage textile pattern and the other classical old styles are being revived in a state-of-the-art fashion to keep pace with modern requirements. Different features are added to it that includes dark borders with bright coloured variations to create an appealing look. To generate a unique effect on the cards, at times a design of flowers or intricate patterns done with wires are also used. Keeping in mind the traditional concepts, many a times, words from scriptures and holy books are printed on the cards to give them a conventionally exclusive appearance.

Themed cards

Themed cards are a rage these days ...
... wherein the invitation card is designed as a clue as to what to expect from the wedding on the ceremonious day. In case of a royal wedding, miniature paintings of kings and queens and palace can be done on the cards. Spiritual shlokas and images of deities are always a part of an auspicious occasion, and on wedding cards they hold a distinct place.

Personal memoirs

Many a times lending a personal touch to the invitation cards can work wonders. Make your guests feel special by adding a couple of photographs highlighting the bond with the friends/family can provide an immensely amazing feeling for both the hosts and the guests.

Rather than using pictures of married Hindu gods, people tend to print photos of the to-be-weds on the cards. The photos are generally of the couple from some of the prior-wedding functions. Special attention should be given to the envelopes which are to be used for the cards.

Emblem

Simplicity is often understated, but if you want minimalist designs yet wish to make your card look elegant, you can seek for monogrammed options.  Initials of your and your would-be’s name can be crafted in a beautiful and custom monogram, this emblem of love and togetherness can be used throughout, on every wedding accessory, wrapping paper, napkins, envelopes, or any other wedding stationary. The tailored 'emblem' can lend a rich yet elegant feel to your invites and also be used as a theme for the wedding.

Bejewelled

Wedding is a pompous affair; why not flaunt the glitz and glamour with the wedding cards as well? Card can be adorned with Swarovski for a rich look and feel. Studded marriage invitation cards are the next ‘in’ thing. The spend can go depending on your budget, from Rs. 200 to Rs.1,00,000 per wedding card, depending on how much you wish to flaunt.

Other than all these, the handmade versions of Indian wedding cards are always welcome. Using the Farman style, a scroll designed card looks elegant too. The expensive materials to make these are worth the price, as they enhance the style quotient of the entire event.
