Vintage wedding invitations
Today, you’re the master of time!
A step back in time for your guests
When we talk about vintage, we often tend to think of the Roaring Twenties or the 1950s. And yes, that’s part of the theme, but have you also considered a truly retro wedding with a ’60s or ’80s vibe? Planning a vintage wedding is all about inviting your guests to take a journey back in time, no matter which era you choose. Indeed, the charm of yesteryear captivates many soon-to-be-married couples. Are you one of them? Follow us as we explain how to create a vintage wedding invitation and add that retro touch to your big day.
3 tips for successful invitations
👰 Send your wedding invitations at least 3 months before the big day.
📍 Mention important details: name, appointment address, date, time
🗓 Request a response before a deadline
Our Vintage & Retro invitations
In the end, vintage means a whole host of eras. You’re more into the Roaring Twenties? Go for gilt and satin. More the ’50s? Go for lace! After the 60s? Choose a vintage wedding invitation in the colors of these decades: orange, yellow, floral motifs… In short, whatever period you choose, you’ll find the right wedding invitation for your ceremony.
Message ideas
When it comes to announcement text, there’s no such thing as a vintage tone. It’s up to you to adapt to the era and your personality. Whatever period you choose, you can write a classic, elegant message or opt for a humorous tone. Nevertheless, we’d like to give you a helping hand with some sample texts.
Classical
Clarisse & Naïm invite you to celebrate their union on Saturday, July 18, 2022 at 4:30pm at Saint-Maur-des-Fossés town hall. They will then have the pleasure of meeting you for a cocktail followed by dinner at the Abbaye.
Positive
We are happy to announce that our wedding will take place on June 20, 2021 at the Rouen Town Hall at 3:30 pm. The good news is that we’re ready for anything for the best. The bad news is that we’re also ready for the worst! We’re counting on you to join us on this great day. Yours affectionately, Julien and Marie
Emotional
It’s official, we’re getting married! We’re delighted to invite you to our wedding on August 13, 2021 at Lille town hall at 3pm. The festivities will then continue at the Château de Flers from 5pm.

Dress, decoration, meals, activities… How do you organize a vintage wedding?
Your outfits: period and elegant
Here, it all depends on the era you’ve chosen. For the ’20s, opt for a long, loose-waisted wedding dress (no more corsets!) and accessorize with a headband or feathers. More ’40s? Choose a strapless ¾-cream or ivory dress. And why not add a pretty retro touch to your outfit with a cloche hat? More 70’s? Go for a look that’s closer to a bohemian wedding: a long, flowing dress, lace. Materials include lace, tulle and satin. For an offbeat touch, why not add a pretty pair of derbies or sneakers?
Your decor: vintage, of course!
We’re not teaching you anything here! It’s time to let loose with the decor, using vintage furniture in keeping with your theme. For the 20’s, add chic elements with gilding and satin, and depending on the year, add retro elements with pearls, crystal, macramé or pretty liberty flower motifs. And most of all: bet on the car! An arrival in a Chevrolet Bel Air, a 2CV, a combi and why not a Vespa!
Here are a few decoration items to prepare for the big day:
- Polaroid camera
- Burlap bags
- Incandescent lamp
- Vintage car
- Mismatched crockery
Your activities: relevant to the times!
For a vintage wedding, opt for activities related to your era. But there are some activities that work every time: photo booths with retro props, and dance classes to get the crowd going. Imagine your wedding transformed into a swing dance floor… isn’t that great?

Thank you so much for this app! It allowed me to send photos of my trip to South America to my grandparents who don’t have Internet 😉.

I love your app, so thank you. It’s easy to use and very practical when I go on vacation. I installed it on my 13 year old daughter’s phone and she uses it for vacations and birthdays.

A vintage wedding to take your guests on a journey
Organizing a vintage and retro wedding is all about making the most of our favorite era. Turn your ceremony into a 1920s ball, with an atmosphere worthy of Gatsby the Magnificent. Take your guests back to the ’40s with retro outfits, trapeze dresses and, above all… swing! Or take your guests back in time with an 80s wedding ceremony.
Match your vintage wedding stationery to your ceremony
With Fizzer, create wedding stationery to match your ceremony. Start with a vintage Save the Date to block off your guests’ diaries. When the wedding planning is almost complete, send a vintage wedding invitation to indicate the place, date and time of the event. To round off the happiest day of your life in style, thank your guests with vintage and retro thank-you cards. If you’d like to spoil some of your nearest and dearest, why not give them a wedding photo album as a memento of this precious day?
