Swarovski-Studded Invitations

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Crystal Wedding Invites Are for the Rich and Fabulous

— June 26, 2010 — Lifestyle
These fancy crystal wedding invites will definitely show guests you're serious about your wedding! The Swarovski-studded invitations feature around 2,500 crystals apiece, and are available in any color palette you desire.

This particular invite features the couple's initials in the center of the invite in red crystals. I wouldn't send out crystal wedding invites to my wedding--I fear it would definitely set the tone for a super-luxurious ceremony.

3. Status Symbols for Millennials - The desire of young successful millennials to showcase their financial successes creates an opportunity to create high-end customized invitations for affluent events.
Industry Implications
