Indian wedding invitations typically have elaborate and ornate designs. They can be made of elegant writing paper like Vellum, specialty paper like handmade paper and may be even printed out on cloth. Colors vary; however, Indian wedding invitations are typically red, gold, green, silver, or a combination of two colors: a main color and an accent color. Gold is a favorite accent or auxiliary color; tassels, ribbons, embossments, and special symbols are usually gold in color.

Scroll Indian wedding invitations are common. Such invitations are usually packed in a decorative box – akin to a box used by jewelry shops; in other cases, the scroll is kept in an elaborately designed scroll envelope made of paper, cardboard or fabric. The scroll itself is usually secured by a golden ribbon. There are great samples of scroll Indian wedding invitations at GlobalWeddingInvitations.com if you care to check them out.
