Your wedding invite won’t be complete without a location map that guides your guests to your venues.
1. Don’t waste your invite envelope! Turn it into something better—the unique base of your location map!
2. Keep things coordinated. Add touches of your theme on the edges of your map, just like these flowers and leaves found on the corners of the invites.
3. Choose a muted color for your map ink and use letter press printing to make the illustrations look even more timeless.
4. For a destination wedding, it’s good to map out other points of interests which your guests might enjoy visiting.
5. You can opt to keep things simple by minimizing the texts on your location diagram.
6. Add a bit of color to highlight the important locations on your illustrated guide.
7. Using watercolor paint is another artsy option. It creates a softer, more feminine looking map.
8. Show your artistic flair by illustrating your wedding venues or hire a professional to do it!
9. Beautifully handwritten texts add oomph to a plain colored wedding map.
10. Add techie QR codes to help your guests locate your venues!
11. Pastel tints always look pretty on paper. This one is a fine example!
12. For a personal touch, include basic directions via a handwritten inscription.
13. Getting married on an island? Squeeze in as much details as possible to keep everyone informed.
14. Turn colored blobs into anartistically stylized location map.
15. You can include helpful street names if there are multiple places you want to highlight in an area. Your guests from out-of-town will definitely appreciate the extra effort.
