Move away from the traditional Indian invites and opt for something more fun by adding a modern twist to your wedding invite. Indian weddings are full of colour and bling and there are plenty of elements which you can draw inspiration from for your wedding card design.
\nTraditional cards are very common and have been popular in India for a long time. Typical Indian wedding cards always have a deity on it and most often it is a depiction of Lord Ganesh or sometimes a picture of Radha Krishna. Having a motif of a deity on your wedding card is considered to be auspicious in India. If you are using a picture of any particular God on your invite, select an exquisite picture and add some embellishments to it spice up the card. You could even create rich effects by exploring with different style of printing. Gold foiling or embossing create a lovely finish.<\/span><\/p>\n

Couples are choosing more rich and cultural elements traditional to India such as a peacock or lotus, and finding interesting ways to incorporate them into the design.<\/p>\n
