15+ New Wedding Reception Invitation Templates – PSD, AI
A wedding ceremony is always a beautiful event. It is a new chapter in a couple’s life, marking the end of singlehood but also marking the beginning of a lifetime of love and commitment. The ceremony also provides the perfect setting not only for exchanging vows but for the families and friends of the groom and bride to meet and enjoy each other’s company.
The celebration almost always never ends in the ceremony alone, but with a reception where the mood is much more relaxed since food is being served, games are played, and dances are held. So if you’re planning to tie the knot, list down your invited guests and start making those invitations with our wedding reception templates. More wedding reception invitation templates are also available on our site.

Holding your wedding reception under the starry night sky is another great idea for the celebration. As long as the weather forecasts are clear, guests will certainly have a great time. Pair the beautiful ambiance with nice music (preferably RnB to set the mood) and lots of food (don’t forget the desserts). Night-time outdoor wedding receptions are not held often, as couples and guests alike usually don’t want to take their chances on the weather and also want to avoid safety issues especially in an open area with minimal to no security. This sample invitation template ideally represents the event, with stars sparkling in a blue night sky surrounded by a black border.

Other Invitation Ideas
Your wedding templates don’t have to necessarily look like the ones listed above (but we do highly recommend them). Get those creative juices flowing and don’t forget to create designs based on the bride and groom’s preferences. Here are some tips if you are still undecided on what designs to use.
- Use scrap materials if you’re on a budget. Unless celebrities are invited to the wedding, you don’t need to buy those special and scented papers for your invitations. Making the wedding programs is quite costly and you’ll be making those only once. Check those dusty drawers, cabinets and even the garage for scrap materials. You can start with old newspapers and other used papers. If you want to get more adventurous, find some leaves, twigs, small bolts and screws, pins. and even some old coins. Using these materials would definitely help you create unique-looking invitations.
- Use calligraphy. It is one of the most basic aspects of invitation-making, but it is one of the most important. An invitation for a celebration that is only celebrated once in a lifetime (most of the time) has to be visually appealing. Using calligraphy in writing the wedding details, especially the names of the couple, evokes a sense of beauty, even if the planned wedding is a simple one.
- Get some help. Even for a wedding where only 20 guests have been invited, it can still be a huge burden for one person to make all the invitations. Get a group of friends together and lay out some ideas on how to make those invitations. If you’re just printing out a template, you still need to personalize each invitation for each guest. If you’re starting from scratch, then it becomes a bigger challenge and you really need to coordinate with your team.
- Browse the web. Do It Yourself (DIY) videos are very helpful if you’re low on cash and strapped for time. There are certainly numerous DIY wedding reception invitations around the web so do a bit of searching and you’re sure to find one that meets your tastes. You might find some invitation DIYs as well as wedding stickers and wedding bookmarks that will assist you in producing stunning invitations without costing too much cash.
- Focus on the couple. The wedding obviously centers on the love and commitment between the bride and groom. The sponsors are also important but the event won’t be about them. Use some of the couple’s recent photos in the invitation by making a collage or grab some photos from the couple’s engagement photo shoot and use it in the invitation cover.
As they say, marriage is a bond like no other. Two people are joined together by love and if they want to continue to succeed in life, they have to do it together. That union begins with the wedding, and each wedding needs to start out with a beautifully crafted invitation.
