Fabulous Bachelorette Party Invitations for Gay and Straight Parties

One of my favorite things about a wedding is the bachelorette party and bachelorette party invitations.   Not only are they fun, but you get to send out party invites with lingerie, cocktails, limos and everything else, campy, slutty and fun.  One thing that people don’t do enough though is to actually use bachelorette party invitations anymore since they started using Facebook events and Evite which is why I wanted to recommend a few of my favorite bachelorette party invitation designs from one of my favorite merchants.  Click any of the links or images below to find these invites and more.

Fall Wedding Invitations

Something that I love even more than fall wedding table decorations like leaves and vines are the fall wedding invitations.  Not only do your fall wedding invitations help to create the look and feel for your fall wedding, but they also help to let everyone know how to plan for your wedding.

Unlike Summer weddings where everyone needs to wear light clothes, fall weddings and fall wedding clothing needs to be carefully planned depending on where you live and if your wedding is in early or late fall.  For early fall you can wear light coats, shawls and fur stoles.  For late fall weddings you go into trench coats, vintage styled clothing and you wear full length fur coats over fabulous  vintage styled clothing.  The thing about your wedding invitation is that it is a more important card than your save the date card because it is the one that not only announces you and your partner but also your wedding and date and the theme and colors.

Unlike Summer or Spring weddings, fall wedding invitations don’t have to match your wedding colors or themes.  You can use fall and autumn colors and you can bring in nature like branches or leaves and gorgeous browns and reds and yellows.  You can have off white backgrounds and colors in your fall wedding invitations and you can also incorporate your own fonts instead of traditional fonts.  Fall wedding invitations are unique because they not only don’t have to follow your traditional wedding invitations with ribbons and birds but you can use images like branches, vines, leaves and other things that remind people of fall.  The one thing you have to remember though is to include how to dress so that if you have an early fall wedding people know to wear an outfit that is light enough so they don’t sweat and if you are having a late fall wedding than you should tell them to dress warm because it can be cold in late fall.  Below are a few of my favorite fall wedding invitation designs.  Click any of the links to visit one of my favorite wedding invitation shops online, wedding paper divas.

What I love about this vine themed wedding invitation is that it not only comes in a million colors and shades but it also comes with a ton of other background colors to not only help to build the feeling of a fall wedding but also helps to match your own wedding colors.

These fabulous flower wreath fall wedding invitations are not only perfect for fall weddings but they also look great for all themes and fall wedding colors.   Although this isn’t my favorite design, many people love fall wedding invitations for their fall weddings and this is one of the more classic looks that many people fall in love with.

This is one of my favorite fall wedding invitation designs.  It is simple, modern and is perfect for any fall wedding.

So these really aren’t specifically gay wedding invitations, but really they are just really nice looking, classy wedding invitations that I love for spring, summer and fall weddings.  The truth is that unless you are using the six colored rainbow on your wedding invitatin, a pink triangle or a pride flag somehow, you really don’t have an actual gay wedding invitation.  The truth is that there is no difference between straight wedding invitations and gay wedding invitations.  So what can you do to make your wedding invitation different than all of your straight friends who had weddings, simple, keep it classy and to you.

Sure, if you are a lesbian and want lesbian wedding invitations, you could always use ones with tulips on them or pussy willows, but in reality, that isn’t keeping your gay wedding invitations classy.  Instead it is kind of making a joke out of your big day.   Same thing for gay guys who use chickens or use soem sort of joke for their invitations, your wedding day should be serious, unless you are going to theme the whole thing funny and in that case, go completely overboard.  (I just saw an episode of Ace of Cakes on the food network where Duff created a wedding cake with a dragon torching it and the bride and groom being eaten, but the whole theme was fun) and if there is one thing the gays can do it is decorate and theme a party.  If you theme your wedding and want to make it a gay wedding, then you completely have to just take the theme and go overboard with it.  If it is madonna, get your favorite hag in a gown with huge cones and hand out black gellie bracelets to everyone.  Make the invitations album covers and the returns and other inserts shaped like tapes, cds, etc… and have different albums on each.  You can also use songs or similar sounding words for the replies.

Anyways, to take a straight wedding invitation and make it a gay wedding invitation, just either make it even classier or keep it tied to your theme and then go completely overboard with it.

Now that I have completely gotten off track with my gay wedding invitations for spring, summer and fall, time to get back on track and explain why these are the perfect gay wedding invitations for spring, summer and fall weddings.

Spring weddings should be about color and flowers and your spring wedding invitations should represent the freshness of the spring.  Flowers budding, leaves growing on trees and that amazing and fresh scent of the new spring air.  Choose something that is light colored and fun.  You can go with lighter shades and also budding branches to show a new life.  Just remember to also keep it matching to your wedding or your wedding colors if you can.

Summer wedding invitations are where the traditional white wedding invitation come in.  They can be beaded, embossed, on heavy card stock and you can also use solid rich colors to represent the gorgeous roses, vegetables, summer colors and other summer seasonal shades.  Summer is about rich weather, heat and gorgeous outdoor weddings.  Your wedding invitations should also repesent this so you can choose deep dark colors and also choose invitations that are more traditional, white and completely overdone.

Fall wedding invitations are usually all about prepping for winter.  Reds, Browns and tree branches are perfect for fall wedding invitations.  I like to think of walking through forests in autumn and fall with my lover.  You can smell the crisp air, see each other wearing some gorgeous hats and fall jackets and also see all of the gorgeous leaves changing colors.  Think of autumn colors, maple leafs and the air turning cold.  If your wedding invitations make you think of these things, then they are probably perfect for fall weddings.  If it is a late fall wedding, you may also want to think of cinnamon and Thanksgiving as well.
