Military wedding? Ideas just for you
When you and/or your fiancé serve in the military, your wedding will no doubt include symbols of your branch and your patriotism. The perfect way to start? With a Jean M wedding invitation that’s beautifully worded to show your pride in your military service AND your love for one another. Here are some wording ideas if you or your fiancé are…
Ensign rank or higher:
Mr. and Mrs. David Todd White
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter
Eliza Rose
to
Matthew James Fischer
Ensign, United States Navy…
Officers above the rank of Lieutenant:
Mr. and Mrs. David Todd White
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter
Eliza Rose
to
Captain Matthew James Fischer
United States Army…
Junior Officers:
Mr. and Mrs. David Todd White
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter
Eliza Rose
to
Matthew James Fischer
First Lieutenant, United States Army…

You can choose any wedding invitation color and design you’d like for your wedding, but think about coordinating your invitation paper color with your branch of service. Here are some examples we thought of — be creative and come up with the paper and ink colors that represent YOUR wedding style and your patriotism.
Jean M White Patriotic Invitation
Choose a white invitation printed in red, blue, gold or black.
We feature a White Invitation Card with Pocket.
Jean M Army Green Invitation
Jean M Black and Gold Invite
Go for an olive green invitation or a black and gold paper combination for an Army wedding.
We feature an Olive Invitation Card and a Black Layered Invitation with Pocket.
Jean M Navy Invitation
Opt for shades of blue and white or ecru for a Navy wedding.
We feature an Ecru Shimmer Layered Invitation with a Pocket.
Jean M Air Force Invitation
Layers of midnight blue and white are perfect for Air Force personnel getting married.
We feature a Midnight Layered Invitation with a Pocket.
Jean M Black Invitation
Bold red and black with a touch of navy blue are great for a Marine Corps wedding.
We feature our Bold Double Border Pocket Invitation in Merlot.
Whether or not you are having a full military wedding with the arch of sabers or swords and men in uniform, you’ll want to make sure to honor your service throughout your wedding. Think about creating a “stars and stripes” theme by hanging bunting and adding flags to decorations and floral arrangements. Cut your wedding cake with the groom’s saber or sword, if he has one. Wear a camouflage garter and toss it to eligible bachelors.
Enjoy!
Wedding colors: insights into the colors we love!
The color you choose for your wedding can set the mood more than any other detail — so choose the color of your day with care! Use multiple colors for a daring statement or just a hint of color that “pops” from a black and white color scheme for a more refined look. The modern bride may prefer brilliant hues while the classic bride may lean toward the sophisticated look of soft metallics, white or ecru.
When choosing your wedding colors, think about the meanings behind and the feelings associated with them. If chosen with care, your color scheme can enhance your special day with meaning and personality. Invitations are the first glimpse your guests will see of the wedding and can set the tone of your wedding early on. For your convenience we have matched colors with moods along with invitation examples. Read on…
Red is the color of passion and energy. It is an exciting and stimulating color that demands attention. A red wedding shows that you are passionate and unafraid to make a bold statement.
Set the tone with…
Merlot Layered Invitation
Green is the color of new growth and nature. Since this color is often associated with rebirth (think spring), the color green shows that you are looking forward to a wonderful new beginning.
Set the tone with…
Green Shimmer Layered Invitation
Pink is the color of vitality and youth — it is a happy and innocent color. A pink wedding is both feminine and pretty.
Set the tone with…
Hot Pink Shimmer Layered Invitation
Blue is the color of tranquility. This color spreads a calm and peaceful feeling across a room full of guests and gives brides and bridesmaids a look of serenity.
Set the tone with…
Two-Tone Damask Pocket Invitation
Yellow stands for true happiness. Yellow bridesmaid dresses and yellow flowers to indicate that happiness follows you wherever you go.
Set the tone with…
Yellow Floral Invitation
Brown is the color of comfort. Think of wood tones and the shades of rich velvet, suede and wool. Add in natural touches for a woodsy look or cream and gold for elegance.
Set the tone with…
Brown Medallion Invitation
Purple is the traditional color of nobility and luxury. Purple will surely make you a queen for the day!
Set the tone with…
Purple Shimmer Invitation Card
Orange is a spirited color that stands for warmth and comfort. Although it can be a motivating color, orange makes people feel at ease with their surroundings.
Set the tone with…
Orange Copper Layered Invitation
Taupe is considered one of the most sophisticated and elegant colors. It is a popular choice for brides who stop at nothing to achieve the most crisp and tailored look.
Set the tone with…
Garden Trellis Pocket Invitation
Silver and Gray are refined colors that represent composure and grace. The ever-popular pewter achieves the same effect.
Set the tone with…
Silver Shimmer Invitation Card
Black is the traditional color of formality. It is elegant, strong and very sophisticated. When paired with traditional white, brides can achieve the classic black-tie-affair look. With a pop of a bright color like fuchsia, green or red, it’s a modern and bold touch.
Set the tone with…
Black Pocket Invitation
White is the traditional color of brides. In the past, it symbolized purity and virtue. Today, it has come to mean clean, crisp and luxurious. Brides who choose white for their décor or ensemble can’t go wrong.
Set the tone with…
White Traditional Invitation
Colorful invitation papers, inks and envelopes are a few simple ways to add color to your special day, but you can also complete your look by choosing colorful ribbons, napkins, favors and more. Jean M Mix and Match Invitations are a great way to incorporate more than one color into your stationery ensemble. Experiment with two or three of your favorite colors to discover the combination that suits you best. Have fun with it!
Enjoy!

A theme story to inspire you: Espresso Damask!
Damask patterns are
rich and elegant — and a perfectly stylish design element on which to base your
entire wedding look! Add damask-patterned items to every part of your
celebration for a look that's both vintage and modern in one.
Here, we’ve put
together a Damask Color Story in beautiful, espresso brown. Just look at all
the options you have for mixing, matching and coordinating!
1. Mocha satin drapes
over this guest book and pen — guests won't be able to resist signing such a rich and elegant register!
2. Damask-like swirls
are studded with your choice of rhinestones or pearls on our "Jasmin"
custom layered wedding invitation. Choose layers of espresso and gold shimmer papers for a rich combination.
3. Damask patterns
take the cake! Adorable, individual cakes are covered in chocolate frosting in
a pretty swirl. (photo: Element Studio)
4. Espresso favor
boxes with a damask-accented monogram (JM987) are almost as rich as the
delicious treats you place inside.
5. Choose layout
JM4315 and espresso paper to accent this "Jane" custom wedding invitation card for a beautiful introduction to your damask-theme wedding.
6. Espresso
napkins become elegant and regal when printed with a damask-style monogram (JM986).
Order cocktail and dinner napkins in coordinating colors.
7. The perfect
addition to your espresso damask theme reception? Chocolate desserts! Not only
will the desserts fit right into your color scheme, they'll add a touch of rich
decadence to the end of your celebration. (photo:
Red Loft Studio)
8. Carry the damask
look through to your floral arrangements by choosing deeply colored blooms and
adding brown fern curls to mimic your theme. (photo: Robert Evans Studios)
9. Accent your
napkins, favor boxes and more with ribbon tags printed with a damask-like monogram (JM988). Choose coordinating ink and ribbon colors for a beautiful look.
10. Guests will
"treasure" discovering their favor treats inside espresso chest
favor boxes adorned with tiny, pearl add-ons.
11. Direct guests to
their reception seats elegantly AND give a nod to your damask theme. Espresso ribbon
place cards are printed with a damask-accented monogram (JM987) and tied with ribbon that matches the ink color.

damask-theme wedding cake with a cake topper that only adds to its style. Our custom acrylic
cake top

The most unique look in wedding invitations (don’t try this at home!)
Dark-colored
invitations printed with light ink are all the rage for 2010 weddings. And it's
something you just can't capture at home on your printer.
Well,
Jean M to the rescue! We offer great array of light inks that look perfectly
stunning on our darker papers. You can go with cream or white ink for a
classic, crisp look; choose a pastel ink like petal, lavender or sky on a
darker paper of the same hue; or be dazzling with rich platinum or gold ink.
Here
are some examples to get you inspired. Then check out which ink colors will
look best on the paper color you've chosen by clicking here. Some of our designs even allow you to choose up to TWO ink colors to perfectly
match your style! We'll be more than happy to make this unique look perfect for
YOUR wedding.
