Invitations for an Outdoor Wedding
Rather than using ornate churches or elegant banquet rooms, outdoor weddings use nature as the ceremony's scenic backdrop. Outdoor weddings borrow the beauty of beaches, mountains, gardens and backyards to decorate the special event. Wedding invitations for outdoor weddings can incorporate the natural elements that will surround the wedding ceremony and reveal to the guests a sneak peak into what will be a beautiful, outdoor event.

Beach Wedding

Invitations for a beach wedding can include the natural elements that make up the beautiful beach setting. Sand and shells can be delicately laid out in the invitation's box or envelope. A beach scene can be the backdrop of the invitation itself, with the text scrolling over a light image of sand, rocks and ocean. The wording of the invitation can include beach-specific directions such as "Feel free to come barefoot!" and "Please join us to celebrate a love that is as large as the ocean!"
Mountain Wedding
-
Invitations for a mountain wedding should reveal the cozy yet majestic beauty of the mountains. The invitations can be bordered in twigs or fresh pine. A mountain scene can be the backdrop of the invitation upon which the text scrolls over. Include a picture of the couple in a mountainous area to further convey the theme. Use mountain-specific directions such as "Please join use to celebrate a love that is taller than mountains" and "Join us in for our mountainside wedding. We promise it's worth the hike!"

Garden Wedding
-
Garden weddings include ceremonies that take place in a floral park as well as those that take place on a farm next to crops. For weddings held in floral gardens, invitations can include flowers, fresh or fake depending on the rate of delivery. Printed flowers can also make up the invitation's background or border. Farm wedding invitations can be tied to the stem of an apple or a small pumpkin or whatever crop is grown at the farm.
Backyard Wedding
-
For weddings that take place in the backyard of a home, invitations can be centered around the importance of family. If the wedding is casual, the invitation can include a picture of a barbecue, a porch swing or a pie cooling in the window. The wording of backyard wedding invitations can focus on the nostalgia or family sentiment of the setting, saying something like "Home is where the heart is, so where better to announce our love than in our own backyard?"
