7 Ways to Include Your Wedding Venue Illustration in Your Big Day

If you're on the hunt for unique wedding invitation ideas and fun ways to sprinkle your wedding venue illustration throughout your wedding journey, you've come to the right place. In this blog, we'll unveil seven ways to spotlight your wedding venue illustration, not just on your invitations, but to your reception and beyond.

1. the envelope liner

Let's kick things off with the classic choice - featuring your wedding venue illustration on your invitation’s envelope liner. It makes a statement when your guests open their invitation and gives them a sneak peek of the place where they’ll be spending an incredible day or evening with you. The best part? It stands out like a vibrant flower in a garden of boring bills and mail.

But here's a pro tip: add an outer envelope to your invitation suite. Why? Because nobody wants their masterpiece sliced by a rogue letter opener. Since inner envelopes aren’t sealed, the outer envelope will take the hit, leaving your liner intact. Keep that stunning illustration safe and sound!

2. the wedding invitation card

Of course, the wedding invitation card is a no-brainer when it comes to showcasing your venue illustration. But there's more to it than meets the eye. If you're watching your budget and want to skip the extra expenses of an outer envelope, print the artwork right on the invitation card itself. Your guests still get a glimpse of your enchanting wedding venue, and you save some cash. It's a win-win!

Plus, when your guests slap that invite on their fridge, they'll see the artwork every day alongside the essential event details. It's the ultimate budget-friendly way to add a touch of magic to your invitations.

3. the belly band

Say hello to an unsung hero of wedding stationery: the belly band. At its core, it's a simple strip of colored or translucent paper holding your invitation suite together. But with a little imagination, you can turn it into something great. Consider adding your venue illustration to it. Simpler designs fit like a glove, making this a fantastic alternative to printing the artwork on the invitation card.

Sometimes, you want your invite to look crisp and clean with just a monogram and elegant calligraphy. If that's your style, the belly band is your best friend. It's a budget-savvy way to keep things classy while still highlighting your fantastic venue.

4. the program

Time to make a grand entrance at your ceremony with a stunning wedding program. Especially handy if your nuptials are at a church or another place of worship, these programs help guests navigate unfamiliar customs and traditions. And who says they can't be stylish? Add your venue illustration to give them that extra oomph!

5. wedding signage

Wedding signage is all the rage these days. You'll often find a charming welcome sign at the entrance of the ceremony or reception. Why not add your venue artwork here too? If you used it on your invites, your guests will instantly recognize it, creating a beautiful thread of continuity throughout your event.

Your venue and photographer will also love it. Imagine the magic they can create with a detailed shot of the illustration outside the venue. And for bonus points, strike a pose beside it for a memorable snapshot!

6. unique guest books

Now, let's talk about the coolest guest book ever. Picture this: a large mat framing your venue illustration, transformed into your guest book. After the wedding, hang it in your home, and you'll cherish both the memories and the artwork for years to come. And if mats aren't your style, why not print the illustration on canvas or acrylic and have your guests sign around the artwork? It's a unique twist on a cherished tradition.

7. mementos

Last but not least, sprinkle your venue illustration on various wedding mementos. For example, have an ornament adorned with your venue illustration.
