If you’re wanting to do something different with your wedding stationery, opting for a square wedding invitation can be a strikingly simple way to stand out. When it comes to design, and more specifically to rethinking traditional design, sometimes the solution is as easy as switching up the format.

In a quick Google or Pinterest search, you’ll notice that most wedding invitations are usually about 5x7 or 6x9 inches and more often than not, in portrait orientation. Occasionally they’re flipped to landscape, perhaps to accommodate a long venue illustration, or simply to match the opening of the envelope so that everything follows the same orientation and does not need to be rotated upon opening. (A consideration perhaps, for only the very obsessive amongst us).

The next most popular shape, especially in recent years - is the arched invitation, and then of course there are the uniquely die-cut formats in organic or geometric forms. It’s rather surprising just how rare the square actually is! So of course we’re all about it, and it is the chosen format for the wedding invitation in our beloved stationery collection, The Editor.
