Peek-A-Boo: Utilizing the Backside of the Wedding Invite

Happy #WeddingWednesday! Wanted to highlight a part of your invitation that's not usually talked about. The backside. The back of your save the date, shower or wedding invitation is an area that can be utilized. Don't be afraid of the back! The backs can feature rich, robust, bold and fun patterns that give your stationery a bit of whimsy! This touch is unexpected and the "unexpected" in stationery is typically what will distinguish your paper from the ordinary.

Taking the colors from peony motif on the front, the backside of this
invite alternates them into a very strong striped pattern

Another fun idea is to continue the exact pattern on the front and then flood the back
with it...  From: WeddingPaperDivas.com

Polka dots on the back are ALWAYS a fun idea...

A few things to think about when considering a pattern:

• Typically, if you make sure your background pattern picks up the same colors from the design/motif on the front, there will still be some continuity.
• Popular patterns are stripes, damask, florals, interlocking patterns, polka dots and solids. 
• Don't be afraid to try to tie in this pattern with a fun envelope liner...

Take care til' next time!
