Mason Jar Country Wedding Invitations

The popularity of barn weddings is rising. I recently visited a friend who owns twenty acres of land apart from her house and property.  As we were driving through a field on the land, she told me that she was considering building a little barn in order to have barn weddings there.  Even she is thinking of the income possible from offering this coveted venue.

These days many brides and grooms scour the countryside for the big old barns that can be rented for a special events. Sometimes the guests sit on bales of hay and eat at long picnic tables.  The more rustic, the better!

Flowers for such events usually include daisies or sunflowers.  Vintage table linens and of course, mason jars decorate the rustic tables.  Just about anything worn and old will be welcome to enhance this wedding theme.

Jars filled with cheery sunflowers portray a summer wedding in the country.  If your wedding theme is casual with a barbecue rehearsal dinner, and marriage ceremony in a big, old barn, the sunflower and mason jar stationery is meant for you!

Sunflowers are not only yellow, they can be orange, brown, or dyed by a florist to just about any color. With brown and beige as the most used neutral colors for country invitations (wood and burlap), bright and sunny sunflowers are a popular addition to the theme.

Custom wedding programs come in a variety of options.  Couples can choose tall cards printed on both sides and decorated in a theme to match their wedding.

Paper options at Zazzle include affordable "rack cards" and "flyer" paper.  Or use the letterhead 8.5x11 with a choice of specialty paper.  Contact the designer of the program you like and most likely they will be happy to transfer the design to a paper of your choice.

Below are examples of the tall cards and folded programs (customer will fold after purchase).   But you can also find tri-fold wedding programs as well.

As "The Office" series came to an end, Angela and Dwight celebrated with a long-awaited wedding on Dwight's beet farm.  Phyllis, their office co-worker, carried Angela, piggy back, down the aisle where the happy couple stood in dug out graves as part of the ceremony.  The reference was to "until death do us part".

Once the ceremony was over Dwight announced that the guests should grab the hooks provided and drag their hay bales to the reception area!  You probably shouldn't ask wedding guests to do this.

Rustic, country bridal shower invitations are printed on the same paper as the wedding invites.  They have an upgraded paper selection which includes linen, felt and metallic.

Many of the bridal shower cards can be customized with "wedding shower" text, but most designers appreciate customer requests and will have the new designs ready promptly.  If there is an additional cost, they should let you know up front.

The shop-keepers at Zazzle will also make other items to match your choice of paper, so don't be afraid to ask for matching stickers, postage and thank you cards.
