Where you met your partner

The very first thing you can think of in order to generate you wedding invitation design concept is the place you met your partner at the first time. For example, if you two met in China during your vacations, you can go for a design with Chinese style. You can put elements such as a dragon on your wedding card.

What your occupation is

You can also try to get a design concept from the occupations of you and your partner. You can design a wedding invitation in the form of an air ticket if both of you are working in airline. If your occupation is related to building, an architect for example, you can make your wedding card with architectural drawings on it. You can also think of making your wedding invitation by using concrete, if you are "crazy" enough.

The only drawback of such designs is that it will be an informal invitation. And it may not suit couples who consider etiquette something very important and want to make their wedding more formal.

What your hobbies are

You may also design your card from your hobbies. You can draw portraits of you and your partner if you love drawing very much. It will be something highly personalized and certainly very unique because it is a drawing made by you.

If both of you and your partner like surfing, you can start the design by considering the sea. Will your wedding invitation be a glass bottle with some water in it? From this you may even think that you can have a beach wedding so that the wedding theme is also reflecting your hobby.
