Chinese Wedding Card

Choosing Wedding Invitations In Hong Kong - a dilemma

In Hong Kong, couples will think that traditional wedding cards are something old-fashioned, red in color with golden hot stamping. Moreover, these traditional invitation cards are provided by a printing company and a few each are similar. They would make their wedding as unique as possible and, therefore, they have a perception that it will not be a good idea to choose wedding invitations with traditional designs.

Practically, the alternative of choice for traditional invitations invitations is with what people in Hong Kong called the Western style (in fact, I will define what Hong Kong style). They are usually white, which is a great contrast to the traditional red color. However, the color white in China usually means death. As a result, parents of couples may not like this kind of wedding invitations, as these cards hit the taboos of the Chinese people.

In fact, the choice of wedding invitation may lead to disagreement between the couple and parents. There were a couple who wanted to order the invitation western style wedding. And consequently, they ordered them from a print shop and after they got everything printed, they found that their parents did not like much the invitation designs.

The couple was really in a dilemma because they do not even think the problem of wedding invitations white color. And finally they had to order new. This time they are in the design of red to meet the demands of their parents.

In fact, couples are reluctant to use the drawings in red wedding invitation. They do not find the color of an obstacle. The main problem is the design of these traditional maps. The cards are not properly designed. Indeed, companies that provide wedding cards are stores rather than print designers. We must admit that the interest of a designer and a print shop will be very different. The help of professional designers will be required to make the traditional red wedding cards most elegant colors.

As a designer myself, I see nothing wrong with red and gold color hot stamping. They are only a selection of colors and printing technology at the end of the day. In fact, I am a defender of traditional elements. However, we should manipulate the design elements wisely, so that we do not copy what the printing press in the past. For example, we can introduce Chinese paper cut designs in wedding invitations to make the most elegant invitations.

In my view, print shops must work hand in hand with professional designers to redefine a new generation of Chinese wedding invitations. We should try to design the wedding invitations in a way that is both in line with Chinese tradition and also has their own merits. The modern designs of today can become tomorrow's traditional motifs. We must constantly define and redefine our modern conceptions such as the unique Chinese wedding invitations can be made.
