You’ll find most stationers can accommodate LGBT couples. With the majority of save-the-date and invitation designs, it’s simply a matter of having male-male or female-female names that can make it useable for a same-sex ceremony. But I love stumbling across stationery companies that offer designs created solely for the LGBT community. After all, we like silhouettes as much as the next bride!
Alfie Cooper offers unique and über stylish designs that fit almost any and every theme.
Their Deer invitation would be perfect for a winter wedding for two bucks or two doe. The rustic and whimsical design features a textured wood-grain background and would work for a quaint mountain lodge wedding or a quirky Manhattan loft ceremony.
The First Dance invitation features design elements like a parquet floor, a dance diagram and footprints modeled after those of Ginger Rogers or Fred Astaire, with groom-groom or bride-bride footprints offered.
Their romantic bicycle-themed invites, titled Share the Road, are oh-so-charming. Opt for or sans a bike basket on the design to tailor it to your personalities.
The very dapper Haberdashery collection is one of the company’s owner’s actual wedding invitation. Inspired by classic men’s suiting fabrics, the Haberdashery collection is a classy and stylish way to celebrate two gentlemen on their big day.
Inspired by silhouette portraiture of ye olde timey days, Alfie Cooper’s Silhouette invite also features a typewritten letter and design elements that evoke the nostalgia of receiving an old-fashioned letter. Send photos of you and your betrothed and they’ll incorporate each of your likenesses into the design so it’s truly customized.
For those couples with the “go big or go home” mindset, the Chandelier design is for you. The festive color combination of purple and chartreuse burst off of the cardstock scripted with “Come to Our Big Gay Wedding!” Fabulous.
