How to Create Invitations for a Destination Wedding: Watercolor Maps

If you want your wedding invitations to have a personal and practical touch, a custom wedding map is the perfect addition. It's unique, beautiful, and can especially be a much-needed resource for destination weddings.

Destination weddings are growing in popularity, with so many gorgeous wedding venues in places like Boca Raton, Palm Beach, and along the coast of California. Not to mention weddings abroad, in unique settings like Los Cabos, or abroad in Italy. When so many of your guests are traveling across the country or across the ocean, it is thoughtful (and usually necessary) to provide helpful accommodations for them during the wedding weekend.

A custom watercolor map is the perfect resource to provide for your guests, from the day they open their mailbox and see your beautiful wedding suite. It's a gorgeous addition, with hand-painted watercolor elements, custom fonts, and even watercolor lettering. They'll be sure to display it on their fridge as they look forward to the big day!

Outside of its aesthetic beauty, a custom watercolor map is a practical choice for any couple wishing to provide details like hotels, sightseeing, restaurants, and venue information. Here are some helpful items you can include on your wedding map:

1. Venue (both ceremony and reception)

2. Tourist attractions

3. Recommended hotels or BnBs

4. Historical buildings

5. Activities (kayaking, paddleboarding, etc.)

6. Rehearsal dinner location

7. After party location

8. Weekend brunch location

With all of these details in one place, your guests will know exactly where to look to find everything they need during the wedding weekend. That way they can relax and enjoy the festivities!
