Owls at Weddings and Owls in Love Wedding Invitations

Well, it’s pretty easy actually. And no, the rings don’t get lost. I did wonder about that one, but apparently the bird is so motivated by food (bits or mice and rats, which the wedding guests don’t get to see, of course) that it will respond to a whistle and land on a falconry glove, whoever might wear it.

I would prefer the release of doves myself, but I have to say there can be a certain appeal to owls, especially coming from people who see themselves as owlish in some way. Or at least the two ideas come together in my imagination.

From what I see online on the Web sites of companies providing the services of one owl or another as a ring bearer, by far the most common species seems to be the Barn Owl, or Tyto alba, of which the subspecies Tyto alba alba looks, indeed, exquisite, with its white body and silvery spotting on the head and wings.

Or if they don't, they should (you may suggest it to them if you like a design in particular; it should be easy to do other items once they have the illustration).

Also remember that these designs are, of course, customizable, to include the text you want. It’s all very easy. If you click on an image shown here, it will take you to a page on a Zazzle store where you will find a section titled Personalize this template.

Just input your own info and you will then be able to preview the design with that text of yours in seconds. Chunks of text are suggested as well, so you will have all the important details ready for you to personalize, such as “Save the date,” the actual date of the wedding, a field for the names of the bride and groom, and so on – which will leave only one bit to really think of, now that you have the essential info and the imagery: your personal way of announcing the wedding to the world, in your own words.

Note that you can only change the text the way I have just described -- and, by clicking on "Click to customize further" remove some of the images completely. If you really want a certain bit taken out of the image, such as the (image of the) words “I do” I’m showing in one of the above invites (where all the graphics are part of one illustration), it’s a good idea to contact the designer through the Zazzle site and ask them if they can make a slight modification for you. Most designers will be happy to oblige.

If you’re running out of ideas for the longer text to go on your wedding invitation, you can take the text as is – or you can browse several other wedding invitations on Zazzle, regardless of theme, to find ideas that appeal to you more.

Hope these wedding stationery ideas will lead you to a design that you'll be happy with. There are many more where these came from. Have a great wedding!
