Baseball Themed Wedding Invitations

Baseball themed weddings are a popular choice for many couples looking to spread the word of their intention to play on the same team for life.  While there seems to be many ideas for incorporating baseball into your ceremony or wedding decorations, I couldn’t find a whole lot of ideas about making your wedding invitations reflect the baseball theme.  So, here are some ideas to help you brainstorm about what your baseball wedding invitations should look like.

Since you use a ticket to get into a baseball game, some couples choose to use a ticket to invite guests to their wedding.  Many reputable stationery shops offer customized tickets for many events, including weddings.  Some will allow you to choose the colors of the tickets as well to further match your wedding.  Baseball tickets are a fun way to start your wedding out on the right theme.  However, since they are an unusual invitation, they are considered more casual so if your wedding is going to be a formal affair, make sure you mention that fact if you choose to have baseball ticket wedding invitations.

Another option would be to use a traditional printed invitation, but with subtle baseball hints.  For example, a white invitation with blue embossed lettering, red accents, and baseball themed ribbon.  Or perhaps you could find a wax seal of your team’s logo to “impress” the recipients of your themed intentions.  Even a single baseball added to the design of your invitation can convey the baseball theme to your guests, so don’t feel like you need to go overboard or be themed on every aspect of your wedding.

If you are on a tighter budget, you can do what I did and pick a design that you like, and make it yourself.  Baseball scrapbook paper, stickers, and ribbon could all be tastefully and artfully combined to make a beautiful, unique, and classy invitation for your wedding.  The key is to find a design that you like and personalize it.  The way I did this was to use a simple square invitation with a solid background and accented inset card.  This was covered in vellum with the lettering printed on it.  Ribbon through the top combined the three layers.  To personalize this invitation, I chose to put a black and white picture beneath the vellum instead of the accented inset card.  Making your own invitations is really not difficult and can save you quite a bit of money.
