| Here
in Asia, we literally have the best of both worlds
when it comes to invitation cards. Steeped in
tradition yet willing to embrace the new trends
emanating from other parts of the world, our creative
artists provide soon-to-be newlyweds with a myriad
of choices. |

| Be
it long established pioneers in printing, more
recently established specialty card companies
or the new movement of independent graphic designers,
invitation cards ranging from the traditional
to contemporary, quirky even, allow couples to
set the tone of their wedding at the onset. In
this instance, the colours, wording and inter-related
design ideas provide guests with a glimpse of
the impending celebration. |

Modern or traditional,
the options are aplenty

| In
our Asian society, the design of invitation cards
can be an issue where conflicts may arise between
the young couple and their parents. A cosmopolitan
Chinese couple, educated abroad, may favour a
design predominantly in white with silver lettering,
much to the chagrin of their more traditional
parents. The latter would certainly be more accustomed
to one in red and gold, colours that symbolise
prosperity, fortune and good luck. Whatever
the case may be, the solution perhaps is to compromise,
so that all parties are happy with the end result.
After all, weddings are meant to be happy occasions,
aren't they? |

| Tip
: For those with an individualistic streak in
them, why not have a personalised one-of-a-kind
invitation card designed? It may cost a bit more
when compared to catalogue-type designs, but what
you get is a one-off customised creation bound
to be a conversation piece among guests. |
