Is “Black” the new Ivory: Is it ok to send out a black invitation for a wedding?

The colour black is typically associated with death, evil, mystery and taboo. It is also associated with power, elegance and formality. Over the years we have seen many couples break tradition on this matter and have asked us to create a black invitation for their wedding.

We have also seen many grandmothers upset with the idea of a black invitation, however upon receipt of the final invitation they have changed their opinion altogether on the matter and are actually blown away by the sheer beauty of the finished product.

Many people also forget that the colour black can also play a key feature for the styling of the big day. From tablecloths to black gloss dancefloors to stationery, let’s take a look at what some of our previous brides have done.

Here are our top five picks for our black invitations:


1. Alexa & Michael

Wedding invitation board with marble print and gold foiling.

2. Sylvia & Tolga

Gold foiling on black stock and grey suede.

3. Ivana & Marc

A5 Invitation card featuring a black belly band with gold foiling.

4. Dana & Trent

Gatefold hard cover invitation with rose gold foiling in a black laser cut box.

The quality and attention to detail was incredible.
The invites that my partner and I ordered from Ooh-Ahh invitations blew us away! The quality and attention to detail was incredible. Sylvia and Indri were super helpful and very patient with me as all their invites are just beautiful and it’s always such a hard decision to make the final call on which design you want. I love my wedding invites so much I’m glad I allowed room in my wedding budget for these because they are just gorgeous! Thanks ladies x

The final product was perfection!
My experience with Ooh-Aah Invitations was fantastic. I couldn’t speak more highly of the level of service and professionalism shown by Sylvia and team. What would normally be a stressful element of planning a wedding, working with Sylvia was the complete opposite. With Sylvia’s extensive knowledge and examples of previous work helped made me create something special. The final product was perfection and all my guests who had received my save the dates and wedding invites thought it was the best they had ever received.

I was stoked they were able to do a red foil in our company colours!
The team at Ooh-Aah completed some beautiful special event cards for our business. I was stoked they were able to do a red foil in our company colours and can't wait to start sending these to our customers. They were easy to work with, Sylvia is an absolute gem! Will definitely be back in the future.

We can't wait to get more from them for future events.
We needed a team that would delivery good quality invitations and we ended up getting a whole lot more from them! The girls did an awesome job with our invitations, table cards, seating chart, bomboniere, table activity cards & note cards! We can't wait to get more from them for future events and also our thank you cards. They have been absolute treasures and so great to work with. Would highly recommend!

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
