I ran across this wedding invitation while doing my spring cleaning. If you’ve ever wondered what a “typical” wedding invitation in China looks like, here it is. Of course I am kind of assuming this is typical since I’ve only gotten a couple during my year here. Red is, predictably, a popular color in China and there is lots of gold trim. To be honest I haven’t seen many wedding invitation from the US, but as I recall they are usually white and quite simple… Actually, no I’m wrong. I just did a search on Flickr for wedding invitations and in fact it looks like most people are going with a wide variety of colors and designs. I guess this reflects how easy and relatively inexpensive it is now a days to have a unique design.
