Royal Wedding Inspired Invitations From Minted

The royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle (otherwise known as the biggest moment of 2018) has been a massively popular source of inspiration since before it even took place. We're not joking, brides across the globe started emulating some of the supposed details that emerged (read: leaked) months ahead of the actual ceremony—talk about the power of gossip. And still, years after the royal nuptials (and a whole lot of major news from Buckingham Palace) have passed, the decadent day of storybook dreams still serves as a beacon of bridal fixation.

One detail we are especially still obsessed with is their wedding invitation—a classic and formal style that feels elegant and, of course, apropos for the occasion. All of the 200 invitations were handprinted using English paper but American ink (such a cute nod to Harry and Meghan's long-distance love), by royal printer Barnard and Westwood. Inspired yet? While we can't imagine you'll be asking your guests to wear "uniform, morning coat, or lounge suit" for men and a "day dress with hat" for women, there are plenty of other ways to take the the royal invitation as inspiration and turn it into something that's perfect for your big day.

Our friends over at Minted helped us with this royal wedding-inspired invitation to show some easy ways to match the royal invite. Adding similar elements like a monogram and an emblem, or an elegant calligraphy-inspired font (if calligraphy isn't exactly in your budget), and keeping the color palette simple and classic (golds, whites, blacks) are all ways you can easily get that royal look. (We even created our own collection with Minted if you want to shop even more elegant and customizable Brides-approved selections.
