WEDDING MAPS
A Subsidiary of Dodeline Design
Invite your guests in style with customized wedding maps.
Clearly the most important part of your wedding invitation is letting your friends and family know where and when the big event is going to happen! Sure, you could just provide the address of the wedding venue and let them rely on GPS, but why not make the directions just as creative and beautiful as the rest of your wedding instead?
A fully customized wedding map is a lovely way to delight your guests and show them the character of the area where your ceremony will be held–while also, of course, providing the essential information that they will need in order to make their way there. At Dodeline Design, we specialize in creating fully personalized watercolor wedding maps that you and your guests will treasure for years to come as unique mementos of a wonderful day.
WHAT’S ON THE MAP?
The region, landmarks, venues, streets, and other information that appear on your wedding map are totally up to you! If your wedding is in the Charleston, South Carolina area, you may want to display the city itself, the Ashley and Cooper Rivers, and major highways that will help your guests pinpoint where your event venue is located in relation to the familiar landmarks of the Lowcountry.
If your wedding is being held on a large estate with lots to explore, or if the ceremony, reception, and rehearsal dinner are all in different locations, you may opt for a more “zoomed-in” map that focuses on a smaller overall area and emphasizes those important spots.
Beyond these practical considerations, however, the sky is the limit! Want to show your guests where he popped the question? Do you have a favorite park bench along the Battery? Is there a view of the Holy City that your out-of-town guests simply can’t miss? You can include all of these and whatever other spots are special to you as a couple on your personalized map.
When should we send the map?
The most common way to get your customized wedding map to your guests is along with the official wedding invitation–combined with your beautifully designed invitations from Dodeline Design, your wedding map perfectly rounds out the entire suite. However, a wedding map can also be very effective when sent with a save the date, especially if the area is unfamiliar to many of your guests. That way you can let them know what to expect and also entice them with the many historical and natural attractions in the region!
A customized wedding map can also be distributed to guests when they arrive at the venue for the big day, giving them information about the property itself, nearby restaurants, attractions, and also information that only some of your guests need, such as the rehearsal dinner venue.
Both useful and an artistic souvenir!
One reason to create a personalized wedding map with Dodeline Design is that the result is something that your guests will take with them long after the wedding. Just take a look at our gallery of custom-made watercolor maps to see what we mean! We’ll help you decide on color illustrations, calligraphy, compass rose designs, water/road colors and styles, and whimsical elements that will make your wedding map a work of art.
