Greenery wedding invitations are full of color and whimsy, and there is something so refreshing about the natural movement that comes with a leaf, flower or branch motif.
In this guide, we will walk you through the many greenery wedding invitation templates we have at Bliss & Bone, and everything else you need to know. From the information you need to gather beforehand to sending out your greenery wedding invitations, we hope to provide you with all of the tools you need to craft your own, ultra-personalized stationery suite.
What You Need to Do Before Sending Out Your Greenery Wedding Invitations
Before your invites appear in your guests’ inboxes or mailboxes, there are several steps to complete. To break it all down, we are detailing the key components of the planning process in the leadup to sending those perfect greenery wedding invitations. There is a lot of research and some outreach involved, so keep this list in mind throughout your journey in the leadup to your epic celebration.
-
Discuss your budget. Gather with your partner and any other friends or family who have offered to help pay for your wedding. In this discussion, you should go over how much you plan to pay for your wedding—and that includes your paper or digital stationery suite. From greenery wedding Save the Dates to cohesive reception decor, there is a lot you will need for this one-of-a-kind celebration.
-
Determine your guest list. This is crucial to your wedding planning process, because you need to know how many people will likely attend your event. You should expect that 70 to 85 percent of your invited guests will attend, and you need a venue that will be able to accommodate that many people. Talk with your partner and family about who you want there, and then do some outreach. For digital and printed greenery wedding invitations, you will need some form of contact information for each household.
-
Book your venue. It goes without saying that you need to lock down your venue and date before anything else. You can enlist the help of an expert planner to manage everything, but either way, we encourage you to research and visit potential venues. If you have found “the one,” verify that they have availability for a date that works for you and then submit your deposit. From there, you can make all of the decisions since the “where” and “when” of it all has been confirmed. Your venue can also inspire your stationery choices, as a mountainside ceremony could work well with rustic greenery wedding invitations.
-
Build your wedding website. Before you can start planning out your greenery wedding Save the Dates, we recommend exploring our wedding website designs. This will serve as your information hub for all things related to your wedding day, and any events before or after it.
-
Find a Save the Date greenery template. You need to include the basics while building your Save the Date greenery template, and that is specifically your venue or the city where you are getting married and the date. These should be sent out anywhere between six and 12 months prior to your date, so guests can have time to make travel plans. You can also choose to send your Save the Date greenery template via email or as a paper invite through the mail.
Once you’ve checked these off of your list, you can customize one of our greenery wedding invitation templates. About six to eight weeks before your special day, you should send out your greenery wedding invitations. You can choose one from the same collection as your greenery Save the Date, or you can completely customize your own. With the “Start From Scratch” feature, it is easier than ever to personalize every aspect of your wedding invite design.
However you decide to design these greenery wedding invitations, make sure to specify the information guests should fill out for your RSVP. On top of that, it is crucial that you ask guests to submit your RSVPs at least two weeks before the wedding. This way, you can manage your seating chart and guest list as efficiently as possible. After all, the last thing you need is finalizing your seating arrangements the morning of your special day!

How to Incorporate Greenery Into Your Wedding Invitations
There are plenty of different templates to choose from for your greenery wedding invitations. However, there are several other options for wedding couples who are curious about bringing into botanical elements to their greenery wedding invitation design.
Here are a few other ways you can add to your greenery wedding invitations:
- Switch up the background design: If there is a design you love, but it does not have the greenery that you want, try swapping out the existing background. There are near-countless options to choose from in the online builder, and if you are working on digital greenery wedding invitations, you can easily transform the background. From a monstera plant to leaves you would find in the forest, you will likely find the ideal natural element for your greenery wedding invitation.
- Adjust the font or paper colors: In a similar way to the background adjustment, you can also bring green into your design. Simply change the font or solid paper color—for print or digital greenery wedding invitations—and you will instantly have the perfect, most on-theme invites.
- Bring in shadows: You do not necessarily need to have green in your greenery wedding invitation. Instead, consider adding a unique shadow that casts over your digital wedding invite. You can create the effect of tropical or forest leaves hanging over your greenery wedding invitation, making it a subtle sign that will set the tone for your upcoming celebration.
- Try adding three-dimensional objects: If you are creating an online wedding invitation, three-dimensional objects are about to become your new best friends. These are thoughtful additions that include all of the greenery you could ever want and need. You can add several, or place just one or two in the best spot on your greenery wedding invitations. Test out the different options, and see if there are other objects that coordinate with your aesthetic. For instance, you could find twigs are the ideal complement to your winter-inspired greenery wedding invitation.
Your greenery wedding invitations can prepare guests for what they can expect on your wedding day. With that, you should match the foliage at your wedding venue and the surrounding areas. Plus, you can use these suggestions to create the ultimate greenery wedding invitation design before you send them off to your guests.
The Cost of Greenery Wedding Invitations
Based on one study by The Knot, the average cost of wedding invitations and stationery is $530. In addition to invites, this may include Save the Dates, wedding menus and more. That number is likely on the lower end, however, as there are other estimates between $5,000 to $8,000 for printed wedding invitations. Meanwhile, digital wedding invitations are significantly less expensive and a popular option among couples wanting to be more eco-friendly.
At Bliss & Bone, online wedding invitations cost $1.20 each for one to nine recipients, or $0.90 each for 10 or more. And for physical wedding invites, costs start at $257.50 for 25 cards. More simple greenery wedding invitations will likely cost less than elaborate options with extra add-ons and customizations. Online invites are becoming increasingly popular for a variety of reasons, but clearly, there is a major pricing difference. For couples looking to save, this is one exceptional route to go with to cut costs without compromising on taste and style.
