The goods news is there are enough of options out there to help you to pull of the perfect ambience for your special day.Choosing a tropical theme for your wedding invitations is a great way to start on this.

There are so many selections for you to think about from the colorings that you want utilized on the cards to the pictures that you want exhibited.

You could either start with the colours and get a corresponding picture, or better would be to start with a "beachy" or tropical image, let's say a palm tree, and then find the fitting colours.

You could either start with the colors and get a matching image, or better would be to start with a "beachy" or tropical image, let's say a palm tree, and then find the corresponding colours.

In general tropical colours are much more rich than colours found outside the tropics so you are looking to select from brighter shades of reds, greens, blues and yellows.

Whether you are having a Formal Wedding, Semi Formal Wedding or an Informal Wedding you can use influences from the tropics to a deeper or lesser extent for example:

The formal wedding for example demands to have only subtle tropical hints. A good model would be raised shapes or highlights and splashes of colours included in the design.

The semi or informal wedding on the other hand doesn't demand for you to stick to tradition; hence the styles and color combination you can use are much more plentyful and less limiting. There is really no limit on what you can accomplish.

Choosing the correct invitations for your Beach Wedding is essential as they will help set the theme and tone for your special day. Your guests will go by the feel and design of your invitations to pick up on the overall tone and preferred ambiance.Let's look at a few options you usually have:

- Formal – even with the laid back and stunning setting of a beach you can still have a traditional and formal look to your wedding, if you want to go down this avenue then you should chose a fairly detailed invitation in a conventional style spelling out the formality of the occasion.

# Semi Formal - One step closer to the casual would be a semi informal wedding. Not quite entirely casual yet still relaxed and refined. Use a fairly simple invitation, maybe with a small beach or palm tree motif. Also keep your wording more on the casual side to convey the atmosphere you are trying to accomplish.

- Informal – with an Informal Beach Wedding you have many options and the type of invitation that you chose depends entirely upon the theme of the wedding or whether it is going to be a casual gathering. If it is a themed wedding then you want the invitation to make it perfectly clear what the theme is you should use graphics to drive home the theme so for example if you are having a tropical theme you might want to use tropical cocktails or trees in the background

I cannot stress enough how key your choice of invitations is in order to set the scene for your ideal day. They are not just to invite people to your wedding but to express to them the type of wedding that you are going to have so that they can attend fully prepared!
