You can get them in a large size for the invitation and note cards for the RSVP and reception cards. This can save a lot of money compared to a beach looking invitation from a wedding album.


2. Go with a light brown card stock use a nice script in a dark brown and then add a tiny shell charm on a twine string. This will give a beach type feel at a very inexpensive cost. You can do the envelope to match to start the look.


3. Try a light background of a beach and over print your invitation wording on top of it. This can be done easily. Most photo programs allow you to adjust the dark or lightness of your photo. Try some samples. If you have a beach photo this can be used. You may use clip art and lighten it too.


4. Take a nice photo of you and your fiance at the beach. Use if for the backer and add a vellum front with your invitation information. This is always a great choice. Your family and friends get a nice photo and invitation too. Many enjoy seeing both of you together. You can make the RSVP on card stock and the reception card on another sheet of vellum.


5. Simply add some clip art that is beach related. This may sound simple but it starts the theme quickly, easily and affordably. Put a beach pail and sandcastle on the invitation. Use a soft then font to get a better effect. Add another beach theme piece of clip art to the envelope to match. This is just an introduction to the theme so it doesn't have to jump out at them.
