You’re eccentric and your fiancé shares your love for all things alternative – naturally a Halloween-themed wedding is in order!
Today’s Halloween-inspired weddings are elegant affairs ranging from black tie masquerade balls to classic Halloween parties.
“Couples who plan Halloween-themed weddings want a fun party, something different than the traditional wedding,” says Christine Zohrabians, event planner and designer at Fancy That Events.
The Los Angeles-based wedding planner has designed countless chic weddings with a masquerade or Halloween theme.
“Couples are usually comfortable and willing to get into ‘character’ which then puts their guests at ease to do the same thing,” says Christine.
One of the most unique events she’s planned had Cirque du Soleil style performers such as jugglers and acrobats.
“Guests were given a variety of beautiful masquerade masks to wear at the event,” she says.
Your Halloween Wedding Invitations
As you finalize your offbeat wedding style, remember that you will be infusing the theme and formality of the event into all aspects of the wedding day décor, starting with your invitations.
For formal and sophisticated events, Christine suggests describing the theme of the event using wording rather than incorporating photos or images. The type of paper you use for formal invitations also matters. Christine suggests giving off a formal vibe by choosing matte paper instead of paper featuring a pearl texture.
If you’re planning a casual Halloween-themed wedding, an invitation featuring a custom photograph is an easy and fun way to introduce the theme to your guests. You can also use a fun motif on a custom stamp on the mailing address label, she says.
Here’s a look at both formal and casual wedding invitations for your masquerade ball event or Halloween-inspired wedding.
