You want to bring that retro touch to your wedding day, so you already know that original vintage wedding invitations are just what you're after. But… do you know how to get the perfect vintage wedding invitation? Here are a few key tips.
ADD KRAFT PAPER TO YOUR INVITATIONS
Kraft paper gives that rustic touch to anything printed on it — especially wedding invitations. Whether it's the invitation itself or the envelopes, if you want a vintage invitation, this material is an absolute must. In our online invitation shop, you'll find original envelopes in different sizes. 
HAND-SEAL YOUR INVITATIONS
Seals are one of those classic touches that never go out of style, while still keeping that magical air of traditional stationery. Hand-sealing your invitations is definitely a great choice if you want vintage invitations that also feel modern!
At the Marmarina studio, seals are a key element. Both our rubber stamps and our wax seals are the perfect finishing touch for every one of our collections. 
CALLIGRAPHY THAT SPEAKS TO YOUR GUESTS
Another vintage touch is using calligraphy on your wedding invitations. Hand-addressing the envelopes is usually the norm, but why not add an extra touch of elegance? Lettering is our weakness, and we always recommend our Marmarina couples pay close attention to the envelopes. They're the guest's very first impression! 
USE TWINE
Our wedding seals are one of the best allies for vintage invitations. Among them, you'll find Baker's twine, one of the most requested options in every catalogue. It serves multiple purposes when it comes to creating original invitations. One of the most popular is wrapping the twine around the invitation itself. This gives it a rustic, chic feel — even a classic invitation. 
LABELS AS A VINTAGE INVITATION TOUCH
You can also use twine together with labels, making them the star of the show. Besides using them as usual for your guest favours, you can include a kraft wedding label as part of the invitation itself. Or, why not, use them as a wonderfully original place card too. 
DESIGN YOUR OWN PERSONALISED INVITATION
One of the best ways to get an original vintage invitation is, without doubt, designing it to measure. Personalised invitations are always the most original, because they tell a story — in this case, yours. If you'd like it to be vintage, all you have to do is ask. 
ORIGINAL THEMES FOR VINTAGE INVITATIONS
Themed invitations are always a great choice, and vintage-themed ones are particular favourites of ours. At Marmarina we have a special soft spot for vintage invitations, and our themed wedding invitation and photo-booth invitation collections are a clear example of that. Could you pick just one? We couldn't! 
We hope these tips help you give your wedding a touch more vintage charm.
Love, Marmarina
